We have gone through so much. We have questioned ourselves, we have reflected on our lives, we have pressed pause and declared something different, and made huge changes in our lives. This new moon in Taurus energy feels like a breath of fresh air as we can feel the energy of coming through the other side.
Feel that full circle moment. It takes a lot of courage to descend into the great void so you can evolve. This spiral experience of being human will bring you back to places that you haven’t been before, but are already familiar with. When setting your intentions, be careful to focus on what you DO what instead of what you DON’T want.

Hey everyone.
Speaker:I actually think this is the episode we all have been waiting
Speaker:for, and by we, I mean all of me.
Speaker:Okay?
Speaker:Me, myself, I, my inner child, my teenager, my future self, my sad self,
Speaker:my frustrated self, my amazing self.
Speaker:Just all of myselves.
Speaker:Maybe you two.
Speaker:Maybe you've been listening.
Speaker:To my podcast and being like, when is this girl gonna get to the
Speaker:like, super duper inspirational?
Speaker:Maybe not.
Speaker:I'm just being silly, right?
Speaker:Like, I haven't started an episode with this kind of energy it
Speaker:feels really, really good to me.
Speaker:I hope it feels good to you.
Speaker:I'm excited about today's topic because I actually feel it in my
Speaker:blood and my bones and my womb.
Speaker:Which, if it's tmi, I'm still gonna say it happens to be bleeding.
Speaker:Right now we're sitting underneath the New Moon and Taurus.
Speaker:We've got the.
Speaker:Jupiter's.
Speaker:I always make Jupiter plural because I don't know, it's like a black thing
Speaker:to do, but I also think of Jupiter being so big it deserves to be plural.
Speaker:Again, just some silly ash actionism to start this episode off, but Jupiter's is
Speaker:sitting in Taurus as well, so it's like big comfort, big realness, big honesty,
Speaker:big like embodiment, and I feel it y'all.
Speaker:And I don't talk too much about like bodily functions or like womb work
Speaker:or any of that, even though it's very much so part of my spiritual practices
Speaker:and my own development journey, healing journey, woman journey.
Speaker:But I will say this, I find it fascinating.
Speaker:All right, ladies with wounds, tell me if you feel me.
Speaker:I don't know about you, but I'm actually very, very regular in my moon cycle.
Speaker:Every 28 days.
Speaker:And I find that to be pretty amazing that my body's in sync in that way.
Speaker:But also I find it more amazing that my womb, my body, my cycle adjusts
Speaker:to align with the actual moon cycles.
Speaker:I just love that like, Again, TM I here, but it just, it just feels right.
Speaker:I'm just fascinated by this that I wanna talk about it right now.
Speaker:I am fascinated that I'm actually two days early on my cycle and it's because
Speaker:my body was like, no, it's so important to shed and be in alignment with this
Speaker:new moon, which yes, technically.
Speaker:You know, not to judge or to say how our body should do it, but a lot of
Speaker:times people talk about the new moon being about, you know, the new seed.
Speaker:And so a lot of women tend to ovulate during this time as opposed to shed.
Speaker:But for me, I tend to shed on new moons and ovulate and have new
Speaker:eggs present in the full moon.
Speaker:You can go and look at all the womb wellness people and the womb
Speaker:witches who talk about being a white.
Speaker:moon in a, in a white owl and all these things and what it means about your
Speaker:manifestation powers and all that.
Speaker:Goodness.
Speaker:I'm just saying, I think it's amazing that when we are in tune with our
Speaker:own cycles, when we're in tune with our evolutionary flow, we also tend
Speaker:to sync up with the moon cycles and plant and release with that.
Speaker:Cadence with that frequency like that just, that just makes me feel so powerful.
Speaker:It makes me feel so connected with the natural forms of nature
Speaker:that my human body is meant to experience even if I'm not paying
Speaker:attention to it, like my body knows.
Speaker:Isn't that amazing?
Speaker:Holler, if you hear me.
Speaker:Even though I can't hear you, just like holler where you're at if you're
Speaker:feeling what I'm talking about.
Speaker:Welcome back to, it's Still Happening podcast y'all.
Speaker:this is actually our 30th episode.
Speaker:How about that?
Speaker:It is our 30th episode, I think, not including the trailer for season three.
Speaker:We are in our 11th episode for season three, the final season of the
Speaker:podcast, and that feels really good.
Speaker:In about three months time, I've only skipped one week and I've allowed
Speaker:myself to be in a very messy process in my life and in my business, right,
Speaker:and still showed up to record and to document aspects of that journey and
Speaker:allow it to minister bless, document what I know and what I've been
Speaker:experiencing and what felt important.
Speaker:To share with you and myself, um, during this time.
Speaker:So I super celebrate that.
Speaker:I celebrate the 30th episode of this podcast that started January
Speaker:of 2021, here we are, spring of 2023 with our 30th episode.
Speaker:Like, can we get a round of applause?
Speaker:Clearly.
Speaker:Okay, so side note, and I, I actually am gonna talk about some good stuff
Speaker:here, but I've been fantasizing about taking acting glasses and going into
Speaker:like comedy because my fiance has been telling me that I'm really funny.
Speaker:And the more that I realize it, I'm like, oh my God, he's right.
Speaker:I am.
Speaker:I am motherfucking hilarious.
Speaker:The things that I say, those of you who have been inside of my.
Speaker:Private containers, but especially group containers like the ladies
Speaker:inside of Elevate last year and also this year are always chuckling
Speaker:with my metaphors, with my pauses, with my jokes, with my storytelling.
Speaker:And I was like, you know what?
Speaker:I am funny.
Speaker:At some point I'm going to take some acting classes.
Speaker:Mark my words here, y'all, at some point I'm going to do some standup.
Speaker:comedy just for fun.
Speaker:Like, just for fun, because I enjoy it and I, I actually do think I'm funny.
Speaker:So yes.
Speaker:Thank you for your round of applause.
Speaker:Thank you for being here on this 30th episode.
Speaker:Thank you for listening to this podcast.
Speaker:We've had a beautiful response.
Speaker:I'm loving seeing the emails that are coming through, responding to
Speaker:these episodes, especially last week, The mother medicine, the
Speaker:medicine of the mother episode, you guys really resonated with that.
Speaker:and I'm also seeing some ratings and some reviews, which
Speaker:really delights my inner child.
Speaker:She loves her creations to be appreciated out in the world, so that feels amazing.
Speaker:Um, and seeing these downloads go up.
Speaker:So shout out for y'all, like listening, subscribing.
Speaker:Thank you for sharing it.
Speaker:Thank you for, um, again, sending me your dm, sending me your
Speaker:emails, reaching out to connect.
Speaker:Letting me know how these episodes are landing for you and how they're
Speaker:speaking to you in your life, like, and how you're applying them to your life.
Speaker:Like, that's, that's the most like amazing feeling ever.
Speaker:So everyone, give everyone a round of applause.
Speaker:A high five, a hug.
Speaker:a, a great big smile cuz that's what I'm doing right now.
Speaker:So let's get into stepping into your creational power.
Speaker:I love this.
Speaker:I love, love, love this topic.
Speaker:I love the energy of feeling, ugh, like you're coming through like
Speaker:you feel yourself coming alive.
Speaker:I don't know about you, but whenever I'm going through great moments
Speaker:of transformation and change in my life, it feels like the English
Speaker:language, how I'm expressing myself, doesn't fully ever capture the.
Speaker:Experience, like the sensations and you know, so when I say, oh my God, the
Speaker:creation of power and like how you feel when everything is starting to manifest or
Speaker:when you're starting to feel alive again.
Speaker:Like when you don't feel that, even when you say, I don't feel alive, or I
Speaker:feel stuck, or I don't feel myself, or things aren't how I want them to be.
Speaker:Like these are all these words in your mouth that doesn't, I don't know.
Speaker:I don't know if it's just a me thing, but I even thought about, do I wanna.
Speaker:Name this episode, something else like stepping into Your Creational
Speaker:power feels a little flat.
Speaker:However, the notes that I've prepared for you are gonna get us there.
Speaker:So strap in folks, because the energy of this day has been warming us up
Speaker:for this message, and I feel it.
Speaker:I'm getting a little emotional thinking about it.
Speaker:I am getting emotional thinking about all that we have endured and gone through.
Speaker:How we have questioned ourselves, how we have reflected in our lives, how
Speaker:we have poured out our hearts, how we have walked away, pressed pause,
Speaker:declared something different, right?
Speaker:Like I know I'm not the only one who's been moving through great
Speaker:change over these last couple months.
Speaker:Maybe even longer for you cause it's been longer than that for me,
Speaker:but I've only like claimed it and like slowed all the way down in
Speaker:these last like five months or so.
Speaker:And so if that's been you, I know that this breath of fresh air, this energy
Speaker:of birthing, this energy of coming through to the other end is probably
Speaker:like the most delicious drink of water.
Speaker:The most cooling dip into the pool or fresh shower or like that best meal
Speaker:when you're really hungry, right?
Speaker:Or that like hot chocolate on a cold day.
Speaker:Just that perfect.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:That's how I feel.
Speaker:I hope you're feeling this too in your own life, in whatever way works for you.
Speaker:But I know it is no surprise that I've been in a transitionary period in my life
Speaker:in business, and I have been evolving in my path to life, and I haven't
Speaker:been able to fully articulate that out publicly because it just wasn't time yet.
Speaker:But now, but now we rise.
Speaker:If you're new here, episodes 19 21, 23, 26, and 28.
Speaker:Okay, so that's like a lot of these past episodes I spoke about various aspects
Speaker:of being in transition and change.
Speaker:So if you.
Speaker:Are in a transition to change and you didn't catch those episodes,
Speaker:or you feel like you need to, like experience a little bit of that that'll
Speaker:help you as you move through yours.
Speaker:Like I encourage you, 19, 21, 23, 26, 28, they're all touching
Speaker:on, perspective on my journey.
Speaker:I.
Speaker:So check those out.
Speaker:But this episode is really about us coming into that energy
Speaker:of full circle, that moment.
Speaker:Whew.
Speaker:Thank God.
Speaker:Oh my God.
Speaker:Thank you Spirit.
Speaker:Thank you Ash.
Speaker:Thank you universe.
Speaker:Thank you for the great powers that be.
Speaker:Ah, this episode is about that coming into full circle.
Speaker:It's about getting that glimmer of light coming through that ring of fire, right?
Speaker:Starting to feel the physicality of what you've been trying to put into
Speaker:form, trying to articulate, trying to grasp, trying to believe in, trying
Speaker:to feel that spark of Cause I'm not gonna lie, y'all, I lost my spark.
Speaker:I really did, and I was like, I'm motherfucking magnificent in what I do.
Speaker:I have the best clients in the world, and like people adore me.
Speaker:Like there's so much potential.
Speaker:I'm barely getting started, like, where is my spark?
Speaker:But it's back.
Speaker:At least that's how I'm feeling under this Newman and Taurus, this Jupiter and
Speaker:Taurus energy, it feels like it's about time to easily reveal my big secret.
Speaker:And it's actually not even that this has been a time of transition.
Speaker:Like who cares about that?
Speaker:That's not a secret in my opinion, um, for any of us, but definitely not for me.
Speaker:But I do have a secret.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:If you're following me on Instagram at Ash inspires, you know that I
Speaker:have been quiet only slowly peeking out here and there, from what I've
Speaker:been calling my creational cave.
Speaker:And I go into moments of creation all the time where I just disappear for a
Speaker:few weeks or a few days, a month or two.
Speaker:But I haven't done this where it's been like, Three months, five months.
Speaker:If I include like more, like I, I showed up a little bit in March
Speaker:and February cuz you know, we had Elevate coming up and all of that.
Speaker:But like, not in the way that I'm teaching and writing and like doing my, you know,
Speaker:poetic dance and, you know what I mean?
Speaker:Like, it just, I was, it was just different.
Speaker:It wasn't me.
Speaker:And so I've been just slowly testing the waters and that feels really good.
Speaker:But I wanna tell you, it takes a lot of courage and trust.
Speaker:To allow yourself to descend into the great void of life, into the dark place.
Speaker:And that doesn't mean you're, you're depressed, dark place.
Speaker:It just means the dark place.
Speaker:You're not illuminated, you're not out here like tap dancing for the gram.
Speaker:No disrespect cuz we do love Instagram, but at the same time, right.
Speaker:Totally feels like that sometimes.
Speaker:And doing these things, you're just in the void, in the unseen space, in the
Speaker:mush, in the unknown, quote unquote.
Speaker:But it's only unknown because you don't really know the process.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:To descend into this.
Speaker:Unseen place to be made anew to evolve.
Speaker:It takes a lot of courage to do that.
Speaker:You know why?
Speaker:All the reasons why we've got responsibilities.
Speaker:We've built up a brand.
Speaker:People expect us, we got bills to pay.
Speaker:We have the pressure.
Speaker:We're comparing.
Speaker:People know us as a certain way, like all these reasons why we don't want.
Speaker:Stop and pause.
Speaker:At least the reason why I didn't want to, I'm like, I've got people who wanna
Speaker:work with me like I've got things to do.
Speaker:I'm trying to build a legacy.
Speaker:What do you mean descend into the darkness?
Speaker:So I can evolve?
Speaker:Like I evolved for a living, you know what I mean?
Speaker:Like these are the conversations I had with myself and was completely
Speaker:like flabbergasted that I was even like, Thrashing around and like
Speaker:fighting with myself and fighting with the great spirit that I know.
Speaker:I know this process, but let me tell you, as we also know, this spiral experience of
Speaker:life will bring you to places that you are familiar with but have never been before.
Speaker:I'll say it again, this spiral experience of being a human.
Speaker:We'll bring you back to places you are familiar with, but
Speaker:you have never been before.
Speaker:And because of that, it's like hella awkward, even though you
Speaker:know how it's gonna go down.
Speaker:It's never really went down this way.
Speaker:So you feel like I should be able to get through this, but
Speaker:I'm not getting through this.
Speaker:That's how I felt.
Speaker:I was like, oh my God, I've coached like thousands of people through this.
Speaker:I've guided, I've supported, I've midwife like myself and others through this.
Speaker:What is happening?
Speaker:I'm gonna be honest with you guys as I always am on this podcast,
Speaker:I had to call in reinforcement.
Speaker:I had to call in one of my oldest mentors.
Speaker:I was like, I need you to tell me, show me channel for me.
Speaker:Tap in for me What?
Speaker:I can't see what I don't know.
Speaker:There's something here that I am missing.
Speaker:And it's so funny because she just laughed at me and she's like, actually,
Speaker:darling, whenever she says, darling, I know, I know I'm about to be
Speaker:getting, like getting my ass handed to me, for lack of a better phrase.
Speaker:She's like, you do know this.
Speaker:In fact, when I first met you, you were in a period just like this.
Speaker:Everyone thought your life was great and you were miserable.
Speaker:You were ready for something else, and you were going through this
Speaker:ugly phase of transformation.
Speaker:I rem I know your cycles.
Speaker:And I was like, oh shit.
Speaker:Yeah, she's right.
Speaker:Like I had amnesia y'all.
Speaker:So the thing about this quote unquote unknown space into the
Speaker:descent, into the darkness, into the womb of creation, hello, is that
Speaker:it's not even that unknown, right?
Speaker:Like going into that space is very familiar.
Speaker:It's just that we don't know how long we're gonna be in it.
Speaker:We don't know what will happen along the way.
Speaker:We don't know how deep or how dark it's gonna get.
Speaker:We don't know all that's gonna be uncovered and shown and unearthed.
Speaker:We don't know all that will have to shed or sweat for that matter.
Speaker:So I suppose we really are always just afraid of the process of
Speaker:being in the dissent, in the unknown, not actually the outcome.
Speaker:Because when I listened to what she was reflecting back to me, I
Speaker:was like, okay, she's just told me everything that I actually know.
Speaker:I just needed that affirming and that witnessing and like that
Speaker:reminder, I was like, yeah, actually.
Speaker:I know the results will eventually be exactly what I want and need,
Speaker:and I know what I want in my heart and I also know what I need.
Speaker:So does God so does my ancestors.
Speaker:So does my guys.
Speaker:So does like, you know, my whole team here.
Speaker:We all know what I need and I definitely know what I want, and
Speaker:so does all those beings as well.
Speaker:So the outcome and the result isn't even a question.
Speaker:I've talked and and taught about this before, the outcome
Speaker:is not unknown the processes.
Speaker:And so we find ourselves, I have found myself being resistant to the process.
Speaker:Cause I'm like, well, how long do I have to go through this?
Speaker:This shit is uncomfortable.
Speaker:I'm not happy.
Speaker:I don't feel like I'm representing myself in the way I should be
Speaker:going up and up and up and up.
Speaker:Not this like down and around and up and a corner and a half step and a stall out.
Speaker:Like, what the fuck?
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:It's gnarly.
Speaker:Y'all like gnarly.
Speaker:But this is the reason why I say I always teach by living cuz I'm not
Speaker:interested in teaching, sharing, guiding, holding space, right?
Speaker:Quote unquote coaching.
Speaker:I don't wanna even author and write about things where I'm just talking
Speaker:about something that I haven't lived and I haven't mastered.
Speaker:I'm not interested in that.
Speaker:There's a lot of that.
Speaker:There's a lot of theory.
Speaker:I am living it, I'm being it, and I'm supporting you as you.
Speaker:Walk through or even inspiring even if we don't ever work together.
Speaker:You never purchase a course or come on an experience inspiring you to walk your own
Speaker:version of your path, of your transition.
Speaker:Better and better.
Speaker:Deeper and deeper.
Speaker:Higher and higher, right?
Speaker:That's what we're here for.
Speaker:So fact, check me on this, y'all.
Speaker:Fact checked me on this, on yourself, in your own life, have you ever gone
Speaker:through a rough patch in life when life felt upside down and inside out?
Speaker:Only It totally worked out over time because I don't know about you.
Speaker:That just makes me so, that makes me emotional too.
Speaker:Like I promise y'all, this is not like the moon cycle talking.
Speaker:I've just been so in tune with my heart lately that when it, when it
Speaker:comes through, it's so powerful.
Speaker:When I look over my life, every time I've gone through these transitions,
Speaker:it always gets better on the other side, like, and when I say better, I'm
Speaker:talking about greater, more powerful, more magical, everything I've desire.
Speaker:The impact, the connections, like everything I've ever wanted is on the
Speaker:other side of the great transition.
Speaker:Now.
Speaker:Does that mean we always have to go a little cuckoo for COA puffs
Speaker:every time we wanna level up?
Speaker:I don't believe so.
Speaker:I don't, cuz I've definitely leveled up without that.
Speaker:But big, big ones I don't know about you, but they have been a deep descent.
Speaker:But the other side has always been, always.
Speaker:So take a moment right now, you can even pause the podcast and I want you
Speaker:to think about every tough time in your life when you've gotten through it.
Speaker:What was on the other side?
Speaker:What was on the other side?
Speaker:And here's the thing, I don't know about y'all.
Speaker:That seems to be my phrase for this episode, but I've noticed that every
Speaker:time I go through a major transition, I'm like, this one is so hard, hard.
Speaker:No one has ever, none of the others have been as hard as this one.
Speaker:This initiation is crazy.
Speaker:Because it's like we have, seriously, we have amnesia.
Speaker:It's like, well, last time I said it was the hardest one.
Speaker:So was that the hardest one or is this the hardest one or is it just every time you
Speaker:go through a change, it's the hardest one.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:It makes me think about like early boyfriends I'd be like, but I was
Speaker:so in love with him and my mom would be like, yeah, you were also
Speaker:in love with the guy before, so like, these guys don't even matter.
Speaker:And I was like, oh yeah, you're right.
Speaker:I can get over this one too.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Like it's kind of like that.
Speaker:Anyway.
Speaker:I've been feeling this beam, a light coming through onto my head,
Speaker:into my heart, into my life as a whole, and feel called to share.
Speaker:A couple things about connecting to your creational power, stepping into
Speaker:your creational power and moving through dark nights of the soul, or like
Speaker:huge, huge transitions of your soul.
Speaker:Your heart, your mind, your entire existence.
Speaker:Cause that's what we're doing personally.
Speaker:That's what's happening collectively.
Speaker:Seems like every day there's something changing.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:The first thing I actually wanna talk about is adjusting mindset.
Speaker:No, no, no, no.
Speaker:Don't roll your eyes y'all.
Speaker:Cuz I will tell you now if you're new to listening to me, if you're new to
Speaker:my work, and even if you're not, I will say this cause it's important.
Speaker:I'm not a mindset guru person.
Speaker:Like I'm really not.
Speaker:I find that the word mindset, like everyone's just like, I'm
Speaker:a mindset coach and mindset and mindset, and I don't like it.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:I never really teach about it, but it is embedded into my work and how I work.
Speaker:I just believe in reprogramming the mind and the beliefs at the root,
Speaker:not overlaying affirmations on top of trauma or on top of cycles of program.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And we have to get into deprogramming in order to program.
Speaker:So while.
Speaker:You know, affirmations and invocations and like journaling, all that stuff
Speaker:is great for that daily reset.
Speaker:Like there's a power in that.
Speaker:I like to adjust mindset at a deeper level when we actually step into the work.
Speaker:So I just wanna give that little bit of context.
Speaker:Like as soon as people hear mindset, they're like, oh my god.
Speaker:Another mindset coach.
Speaker:It's a very important aspect of transformation.
Speaker:Stepping into your power, becoming the generational pattern breaker,
Speaker:becoming the woman in your life in lineage, who does the damn thing.
Speaker:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker:And.
Speaker:There's different ways to come at it, but the reason why I wanna bring up
Speaker:adjusting your mindset in the context of the way that I work today is I had a
Speaker:big epiphany about myself and also about a number of clients as I was reflecting
Speaker:over my work, which I have been doing.
Speaker:Which is one of my big secrets that are coming up.
Speaker:I've been going over eight years of work recordings, notes, not just for
Speaker:the book that I'm still working on.
Speaker:Yes, y'all.
Speaker:But, um, because there's a lot of work that I forgot about, like I.
Speaker:Guided meditations and workbooks and mini programs and programs that I
Speaker:taught them at the beginning, like live.
Speaker:And then later on I turned them into courses, but left the original
Speaker:recordings out and like just going over my entire body of work.
Speaker:And so as I was doing that, I was like, oh my goodness.
Speaker:There's something about mindset that I feel a lot of people are not talking about
Speaker:in this field, and that is that you're not exactly stepping into your creational
Speaker:power, in my opinion, when your mindset is really only wanting to get out of struggle
Speaker:and pain, instead of focusing on what you actually truly want and the possibilities
Speaker:of your life Now, The way that mindset coaches usually talk about this is like,
Speaker:ignore your past, focus on what you want.
Speaker:Get out of the negative, look on the positive, like all of that.
Speaker:And I actually don't believe in that, obviously, because I believe
Speaker:in doing ancestral healing work.
Speaker:And so if we're ignoring the past, we're essentially burying trauma.
Speaker:We're also burying blessings and we're bypassing it, I believe.
Speaker:Surprise, surprise that when we go into our past or into right the deeper
Speaker:things, we will then come out with the golden nuggets of truth, thus
Speaker:descending into the darkness and coming into the light of a transition, right?
Speaker:However, when it was coming into this mindset piece, I was like, gosh, I
Speaker:don't want to go into the darkness of a pain and struggle and think
Speaker:that that's gonna birth me through.
Speaker:Or that's the only thing that I wanna get away from.
Speaker:That's another way I should say it.
Speaker:I'm getting a little tongue tied here, but I think you're getting my drift
Speaker:here, is like if you are desiring to evolve or change your life based
Speaker:on wanting to get out of pain and struggle, oh, I wanna get out of debt.
Speaker:Oh, I want to get away from low class men or low vibrational men, or low effort men.
Speaker:Oh, I wanna move out of the hood into the affluent area.
Speaker:Oh, I want to, Stop attracting mean girls and people who are disingenuous
Speaker:and find really great friends.
Speaker:Like if you always are associating your transformation, your mindset,
Speaker:your desire for change based on resistance to something, quote
Speaker:unquote, oppression, right?
Speaker:Is another example of that.
Speaker:Um, you're not really stepping into your creation of power because your
Speaker:energy is still associated and rooted into something that you don't desire.
Speaker:And if you keep working your energy that way, that's exactly what you're
Speaker:gonna keep attracting and creating.
Speaker:Does that make sense?
Speaker:Don't worry.
Speaker:If it doesn't, you'll know why in a little bit.
Speaker:If it doesn't hit replay, run it back.
Speaker:And if it still doesn't, I've got something for you.
Speaker:Focusing on what you do want and not what you don't want is the process.
Speaker:And when we know what we don't want, then we can get clear on what we do.
Speaker:So said differently.
Speaker:Work this, our chemical axiom is, one of my mentors would say,
Speaker:we'll work this backwards and frontwards in both directions.
Speaker:What don't I want so I can get clear on what I do?
Speaker:I want.
Speaker:What do I want so that I can know what's blocking me?
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Go both ways and eventually you'll be able to focus on what you do want while
Speaker:also clearing out anything that is old.
Speaker:That is ancient, that is ancestral, that is childhood.
Speaker:That does not serve you, isn't actually true.
Speaker:So on and so forth, right?
Speaker:But I was like, gosh, did I not, did I spend most of my time at the beginning
Speaker:of this transitionary period, like thrashing around, like resistant,
Speaker:complaining, frustrated, confused, begging the gods and my ancestors to,
Speaker:and my higher self to explain it to me.
Speaker:I won't lie to you.
Speaker:Yes, I did.
Speaker:Yes, I did.
Speaker:Y'all.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I was just like, I need to get out of this.
Speaker:I wanna get clear on this bug.
Speaker:I wanna like going nuts, yo.
Speaker:And then finally I was like, it would be great to experience peace.
Speaker:It would be great to flow with my words and not have as much writer's block.
Speaker:Cuz when it came, like when the writer's block came y'all, it
Speaker:would be like blocks of writing.
Speaker:Like, it wasn't like writer's block, it was like blocks, like football
Speaker:fields of blocks, like writing blocks.
Speaker:Again.
Speaker:Told you I'm in like comedian level today and I was like, okay, I need to focus on
Speaker:the feeling and the experience of being.
Speaker:Free to write flowing out of me words, dropping from the sky into
Speaker:my hands and my body, and flowing through these pens and through the
Speaker:tips of my fingers, like I need to get into that energy, which it did.
Speaker:I'm not gonna lie, it took me into going into.
Speaker:All the times as my childhood, I was forced to rush through my work in order
Speaker:to get done quickly so that I could be available for other responsibilities
Speaker:in my household so that I could have more social time and have more fun.
Speaker:Because again, my household was very strict and I wanted to use
Speaker:school for socializing and like all these other narratives, right?
Speaker:So I find that when we can tap into what we actually do want, we start
Speaker:getting into that creational energy.
Speaker:We start getting into our creational power, and it will expose what's
Speaker:in opposition of that that's holding you and less power, holding
Speaker:you less powerful than you are.
Speaker:That's a better way to say that.
Speaker:I know this all is much easier said than done.
Speaker:When you just want to be without a certain experience in your life,
Speaker:such as writer's block, right?
Speaker:I get that.
Speaker:I deeply get it.
Speaker:Um, but I wanna present this to you and present it in this energy cuz this is
Speaker:an energy that I'm sharing with you.
Speaker:It's not about the logic of it, it's really about the transmission of it and
Speaker:see how it settles through your ears and in your body and helps you navigate
Speaker:the transition that you're currently in.
Speaker:Because here is what I realize, the absence of something.
Speaker:Doesn't guarantee the presence of something else.
Speaker:It's kind of like an answer is not always a response or they
Speaker:say No, it's the other way.
Speaker:The response is not always an answer.
Speaker:That's what it is.
Speaker:So the absence of pain or struggle or dis-ease of something
Speaker:doesn't guarantee the presence.
Speaker:Of something else, aka what you actually want.
Speaker:But when I go for what I want and I'm clear what I want, it will be absence
Speaker:of the pain or the struggle or whatever, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:So in order to get through that adjusting of your mindset, Which is
Speaker:so much more than mindset, by the way.
Speaker:I'm just using that for language purposes.
Speaker:We've gotta switch our angles, and this is the second piece to stepping
Speaker:into your creational power after you're working on or while you're
Speaker:working on adjusting your mindset.
Speaker:I learned and realize and brought myself back to the basics of switching my angle.
Speaker:Now what do I mean about that?
Speaker:Stepping into your creation of power means that we get to take responsibility and.
Speaker:Take responsibility of the beliefs that we are creating consciously
Speaker:and unconsciously, right?
Speaker:So if I'm taking responsibility of myself, of my actions, of my thoughts, of my
Speaker:beliefs, of what I've already created, meaning what I'm experiencing now in my
Speaker:life, I already created this, manifested it, had the energy around it months and
Speaker:weeks ago before it ever came, right?
Speaker:So that means I have to switch up my angle.
Speaker:And my approach to make what is unconscious conscious, to make whatever
Speaker:I was thinking, believing rock and whi whatever, like I gotta change that up.
Speaker:And so the thing about taking responsibility is we often associate that.
Speaker:With like the approach of being pushy and masculine, like a
Speaker:masculine per perspective, I'm going to do something about it.
Speaker:I'm taking responsibility and yet what's gotten me through this period
Speaker:in my life in business has been me associating responsibility with
Speaker:being present, a k a allowing instead of pushing AKA my feminine energy
Speaker:instead of my masculine energy.
Speaker:That's what I mean about switching up your angle.
Speaker:I like all of us, high achieving smart women, business owners, you know, modern
Speaker:women, all those, you know, phrases we're like, I'm gonna take responsibility.
Speaker:I'm gonna turn this around.
Speaker:I'm gonna go and do, which is great.
Speaker:I.
Speaker:But for me personally and with a lot of my clients, I was like, God,
Speaker:that's like our first lever to pull.
Speaker:That's our first like trap door of trying to solve and change something.
Speaker:We go straight to that card.
Speaker:We play that game the same way over and over and over again.
Speaker:No wonder it's so hard.
Speaker:No wonder I don't feel as powerful because I'm using all my power in the
Speaker:same way over and over and over again.
Speaker:It's still happening, right?
Speaker:And I was like, huh, I think it's time for me to do this differently.
Speaker:Let me switch up my angle, let me switch up my approach.
Speaker:So this is especially important for those of us who come from a lineage
Speaker:of women or men or people who've been operating from fighting, from leaning in.
Speaker:We all know the book from showing up, all the time, like.
Speaker:We all from that kind of lineage, from that kind of family, even those of us
Speaker:just as women, modern women today, we can stand for another approach in our toolbox.
Speaker:I don't know about you, but that's how I feel.
Speaker:I feel like I have mastered the efforting, the pushing, the strategy
Speaker:and the overthinking, the all of that will, and pushing and effort,
Speaker:and now I'm like, all right.
Speaker:I need to come a little bit more on the other side so I can balance out,
Speaker:so I can balance out my creational energy and get what I want with far
Speaker:more ease, way more grace, and way more compassion for myself, right?
Speaker:So that slight adjustment gave me the energy and clarity to take action once
Speaker:I got refreshed and once I got clear on my latest assignments, or rather I
Speaker:should say, switching up my mindset.
Speaker:Changing up my angle right have allowed me to get clear on my latest assignments
Speaker:and my path and in my sole contracts.
Speaker:And that's what this whole transition has been about.
Speaker:It's been huge about taking inventory, slowing down, resting no longer pushing.
Speaker:Those of you.
Speaker:At the beginning of the year, I talked about this.
Speaker:I actually predicted this of myself and didn't realize it.
Speaker:And for many of you, inside of the Reveal Special Offering Masterclass,
Speaker:and also inside of Receive Masterclass, which receive is.
Speaker:On sale as itself, and it will, soon be added into a bundle.
Speaker:So if you want, if you wanna access, receive reveal's not for sale, but
Speaker:if you want receive, check out the show notes because it has a bunch of
Speaker:codes on switching into more of that feminine, allowing receiving energy
Speaker:so that we can balance out our pushing masculine go-getter energy, right.
Speaker:So those are my two tips for you.
Speaker:A nice little storytelling, a nice little comedy with Ash tonight.
Speaker:Again, check out episodes 19 21, 23, 26, and 28.

Speaker:It is that I'm gonna be teaching you how to move through transition because.
Speaker:They're gonna keep coming.
Speaker:Let's be honest, and I don't know about you, but I want to start to master
Speaker:the experience, even though it's gonna feel a little bit different every time.
Speaker:I wanna be able to identify when I'm fully in the transition
Speaker:and not shy away from it.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And I wanna do it with more trust, more openness, more connection to my heart.
Speaker:And yes, again, under this Taurus energy, I wanna do it
Speaker:with more comfort in the process.
Speaker:So that's gonna be my new upcoming program.
Speaker:Um, I'm still mapping out how it's gonna look, if it's gonna be a one day thing.
