TRANSCRIPT:
[00:00:00] Are you learning to distinguish between anxiety and intuition in your business decisions? The body knows your path of least resistance. The question is, are you willing to listen to it? in this episode. You are going to learn from a past client of mine, Yelena. Through her story, you’re going to learn how tapping into your body’s wisdom can guide your business and personal decisions.
[00:00:36] embodied manifestation techniques to bring forward your business goals and achieve financial milestones and how to make career decisions that align with your values and your long term goals. Yelena had done so many trainings and she had achieved all of these things inside of her industry. She is a journalist.
[00:00:56] Uh, she’d also bought courses on marketing and all of the
[00:01:00]things, but she still felt that she lacked the knowledge that she needed to create a consistent income. As a result of this and some other things that had affected her personal life for a little while now, she struggled with decision making, which led to her procrastinating a lot of the day, then ruminating on her anxieties and fears, feeling like she was never getting anything done, feeling like she was never getting anywhere, making it more difficult for her to show up on social media, which was her method of gaining new clients.
[00:01:31] And she was also filtering her opinions when she was called to speak on panels. Until she started working with me in this episode, Yelena shares with us her own embodied and integrate was integrated wisdom from our work together that has allowed her to stop bending, stop spending so much time and money on courses and trainings that she wasn’t really getting that much out of spend more time with her family, [00:02:00] including literally taking months off to vacation in the summer.
[00:02:04] Oh my God. I sound like such an American saying vacation is holiday. We’re in Australia now. Oh my gosh. Okay. Uh, be invited as a keynote speaker to industry leading events and be recognized as a leader for an entire generation of female journalists in our country and reclaim her sense of confidence, audacity, and really unapologetic opinions, and then share them. what were some of the things that you were experiencing that told you, ah, I think it might be helpful to reference with Sharon? Well, we actually started working together. because of like anxiety.
[00:02:45] Jelena: And when I first started, I thought these were different things. But as you are an entrepreneur, everything is connected to you. So you are your business. So my anxiety in my personal life was also showing up in my [00:03:00] business. So there’s actually not really, um, they’re not really separate. Um, and So we started together, working together on these anxieties.
[00:03:12] And what I experienced was that I never really knew, kind of, I had this blockage where I thought, I don’t know what to do. That was one of my biggest blocks. I just didn’t know what to do. And you know, I bought a lot of courses and I did a lot of trainings and a lot of stuff to kind of acquire this knowledge that I felt I needed.
[00:03:34] But actually that wasn’t the problem. The problem was not that I didn’t know what to post or didn’t know what to do. I did know. I just had some, you know, block of being or fear of being perceived, fear of being seen. So that was actually blocking me. It was not like the 17th block. course I needed, it was more like trust in myself and in my abilities and the like, and to, um, be able to [00:04:00] tap into this wisdom I, I didn’t know I had at first.
[00:04:06] Yeah, that’s actually such a good,
[00:04:12] I guess, what is the biggest
[00:04:18] contrast now
[00:04:27] in receiving the benefits, I guess, of this program, but there’s a lot of help. How, how did this pass to you, to current day you? What have you learned? Because that was the thing I was looking outside for answers and for someone [00:05:00] to know you to make the decisions for me or to give me input on how I should make something, but I knew best what was best for my business.
[00:05:07] I just had to tap into my body. And so we created the somatic blueprint, which helped me. I think that’s one of the most helpful things I’ve ever acquired in my life, to be honest, because I use it all the time. I use it on whether, well, like what I should post or what content I can make, but also like what I’m going to eat in a restaurant, you know, it’s, it’s the same somatic intelligence.
[00:05:31] It’s the same blueprint. And that was so, so helpful for me. They are
[00:05:58] really powerful. [00:06:00] And so every morning I bring my kids to kindergarten and then I go on a walk. And I kind of pretend I’m talking to a friend and I’m sharing my accomplishments with her. Um, sometimes I talk to you, sometimes I talk to a friend, but it’s not like, um, Um, I, I, that’s how I, I say it. I say Can you imagine I had my first 10k a month?
[00:06:30] I’m so excited, but I like, I don’t tell it in a way that sounds like, yeah, I’m making 10k a month, you know, I really have to believe myself. So I’m like really excited to tell my friend that I made 10 K this month. I don’t like really excited and I get really into it. Can you believe I signed my first check?
[00:06:49] It was 10, 000 and I can’t believe it. And, um, you know, the month after that. Obviously, I had my first 10K month and what [00:07:00] we did together was, um, we, uh, I didn’t know why it was working exactly. Okay. Manifestation law of whatever, but I didn’t really know why it was working. And then we, uh, you recognize that it is obviously very important to me to be in a space of it’s possible.
[00:07:17] Which makes sense, because my human design also have, I have the motivation of hope. So if I think something is possible for me, it’s very, very likely for me to make it possible. And so this manifestation walks kind of really, um, you know, tap into this energy of it’s possible. It could work and then it works.
[00:07:39] Yeah, that’s cool. Because that’s part of one of[00:08:00]
[00:08:00] the, So one of the biggest things, like you said, The
[00:08:10] decision around
[00:08:16] manifesting, that, you know, tell us why was that decision important? Because I think a lot of the listeners here are often listening when they’re in a time where they need to decide what they’re doing. Like, where do I go all in on my business? Like, do I get a coach? Do I join a buddy based business? Do I go all in on my business?
[00:08:37] Do I stay in corporate or in something else? Do I quit my job? Do I look for more jobs? How did you make that decision and why was [00:09:00]it such a big deal? Which is what many of us rely on, you know, to, to make a logical decision. But actually, like, I found, I find that like body based decisions are way better, way more effective.
[00:09:20] And what I did was tap into my somatic intelligence. And I know in my body through our work that, um, like, All the pain and anxiety. I feel kind of in my chest or in my like solar plexus area. So everything that’s like contracting, not so good. But when it’s like a really, really, you know, expanding thing, it’s like expanding in my sacral.
[00:09:47] it’s, or in my womb area that’s very, um, uh, actually easy to differentiate. Um, but this time it wasn’t that clear because I obviously had like the, [00:10:00]uh. it was a lot of ego thing. It was a prestigious job. It was very well paid. I thought I’m going to have a lot of opportunities, but also I knew I’m going to have less time for my child, less time for myself.
[00:10:13] And we wanted a second child. And it was like, I cried when thinking about getting the job, which is very weird and not the best place to take a job. So I had what you talk about a lot. It’s not a full body. Yes. Sometimes. No, in this case I tapped into, like, first I regulated myself because when you’re all over the place, you shouldn’t decide anything.
[00:10:39] So I grounded myself. I took a deep, I took some deep breaths and then I, you know, fell into my body and I felt like that taking the job, you know, kind of, it feels like a lump in my, um, Is that how you call it? Like just a punch in, in, in my solar plexus[00:11:00] and not taking it felt very expanding. And then I was like, okay, that’s it.
[00:11:06] I’ll just have to, you know, navigate these parts. So part of me wants to have like, of course, a lot of money and a good title and prestige, but what’s more important to me are my values of having time. Um, being able to use my time how I want to use it. So it was a not a full body. No, not a full body. Yes.
[00:11:25] It was just, you know, navigating these parts and then deciding what felt best. But I didn’t know, um, earlier that, you know, always, uh, trust your God, always trust your God. When you have anxiety and OCD, that’s like, I didn’t know what my God was. I really did not know. Um, so now that I know what my intuition feels like.
[00:11:49] And that made it so much easier to navigate all these feelings and parts. And also we had sessions around that where we identified what was I scared of? I was scared of not having [00:12:00] time and not using my life how I want to use it. So it was a very, um, complex decision, but I did it once and now I do it all the time and I don’t find it that hard anymore.
[00:12:12] I’m
[00:12:28] Do you think that’s the reason that you’re able to touch into your intuition?
[00:12:37] Sorry, can you repeat the question? I am not sure if I understood it. Yeah. You said that you’re able now to feel your intuition and differentiate from anxiety or OCD like thoughts. Is that because of the work that we’ve done together? Yes, of course. Yes, it is. Because I couldn’t, I felt a lot of things and I couldn’t read them and I couldn’t interpret [00:13:00]them.
[00:13:00] And now I do. I know what it means when I’m, when I don’t know, I ask you like we can do it together. But just reading myself and knowing myself helped a lot. I think that when people are beginning to work with me, they’re in a place where they kind of want what
[00:13:26] you’re having. They want to differentiate between intuition and fear and anxiety. They want to make decisions for , but you have to make a decision to actually work with you. Do that. I would like them to be making that decision from the most embodied place possible. So I have one question for you.
[00:13:51] Why would you recommend that they do it now versus later?
[00:13:57] Because it makes life so much [00:14:00] easier and so much more manageable. And why would you wait to do that? Why would you want to make your life as fulfilled and as easy as possible right now?
[00:14:17] It’s okay, and I would recommend, you know, doing one step at a time. Like, first, have a call with you. And that, you know, you don’t, because we think like maybe they see you on Instagram and, uh, I don’t know if I, whether I should work with her or not. Just book the call first, you know, and just tap into one step at a time.
[00:14:39] That’s, that’s what helps me.
[00:14:53] Especially for you because you are a leader in your industry and I’m happy for you [00:15:00] to share whatever you choose to share around that. Um, being somebody who is different to their colleagues, that’s using a different path from their colleagues, what advice would you have to people who are kind of in a place of, where they are being perceived as they make these big decisions?
[00:15:29] It’s okay to feel cringed. I think that’s what a lot of people who are, uh, like perceived, for example, on social media. When you start out, you always start out small and that’s always a bit uncomfortable. So it’s okay to be a little cringe at first because we think about what are my former colleagues going to say?
[00:15:54] What, uh, what is someone maybe thinking? First of all, we don’t know what other people are thinking. Second of
[00:16:00] all, it’s none of our business. Third, and that’s what helped me the most. I, um, try to focus on the people who need what I have to share. They are. You know, people who don’t like me, they’re not going to buy from me, they’re not going to enjoy my content, they’re not relevant for my career, for my path.
[00:16:17] But there are people who are very relevant to my path, and these are colleagues I connect with, or my clients, you know. So if I focus on them, it’s not that much about me, so that kind of helps me a bit too. To, you know, overcome the cringe part and the, oh, I’m so scared part, because I know, I imagine there’s someone out there who just needs to hear this message, so I do it for them.
[00:16:41] That helps me, you know, zoom out a little bit for myself and make them the center. Yes. That helps. Yes.[00:17:00]
[00:17:05] Is there anything else that you’d like to share with our guests, or,
[00:17:13] So I’m a mentor for young journalists who helps young, um, German speaking journalists in Austria and in Germany to kind of navigate this very weird media industry. And, um, I do a lot of meet, uh, of, um, interviews. Uh, Instagram content and I’m called meeting guys. So if someone out there, uh, is, uh, that is listening to like German things, you can follow me on Instagram and I’m also, I want to thank you Sheridan for our time and for working together and you’ve helped me so much and I grew so, so much.
[00:17:47] And what’s also interesting. We didn’t just grow, you know, over business stuff, because it was also, um, emotions, motherhood. We talked a lot about that and I think it’s so important. Uh, for an entrepreneur
[00:18:00]to work on their private stuff too, because it’s so intertwined and connected and I just, uh, yeah, I can, I can recommend working with you to everyone.
