And the yearning for more

You don’t suck. But undervaluing yourself does.
Here I am…
With my skills, experience, and genuine care.
I’m passionate, show boundless resilience, and put everybody else first (I give, give, and give).
And yet, I’m the one:
In one-sided relationships.
Critical and harsh on myself.
With clients who want the best from me - for free.
Just to end up watching others enjoy delicious restaurant dinners, enthralling vacations, and loving moments with friends and family.
Where’s my joy, freedom, and abundance?
The answer was so simple, yet so overlooked.
If you relate to this story, and the yearning for more abundance in your life - today’s edition is for you.
You should NOT have to undervalue yourself and struggle so hard to be seen.
It’s all about energy…
The frequency you are in, and as you are reading my newsletter, something tells me you already know this.
So, without further ado, let’s jump right into an example - using a tool - that most of my clients have found enlightening and “so practical I could use it with my husband”.

Introducing Hannah…
She knew she was paid way less than she should.
She struggled to make a living, which affected her sleep and her relationship with her husband and children.
In the opening session, she says, “I can’t charge more now” (apathy).
Apathy often appears disguised as, "I’m not ready”, “I’ve just started out”, “I’m too busy”, or “I can’t just do that”.
The goal is to move up and be more positively radiant.
(I believe you are already too familiar with the people you attract and the results you achieve in low frequency.)
After looking at the map…
An “Oh wow” leaves her lips.
“I’m that far down.”
The look in her eyes is sad. Then, she lifts her head and asks, “How do I move up?”(desire).
“Where do you want to be?” I ask.
“At least neutrality,” she says. “I cannot believe I didn’t see this. If I had known earlier I would never have… (grief).

By letting go of the resistance to where she is, clarity emerges, and with that, a desire to overcome fear arrives.
But, grief is still blocking her.
Diving into that grief, anger enters the room with an “Oh I’m so angry at myself.”
“Great,” I reply. “Do you feel that energy?”
(Anger has even more energy than desire, that’s why it’s such a powerful marketing technique to influence people to make purchasing decisions.)
“What do you want to do?” I ask.
She is standing in front of me with a determined look on her face. “I’ll charge twice as much the next time,” she says.
By making her decision, guess where she is now?
Yes. You got it.
Pride.
The next time arrived, and so did fear.
She did NOT double her fees.
Something else happened.
Gradually, she began increasing her fee and as a result, a sensation of increased capacity entered her life; it was possible not an “I can’t” (courage, the energy of creation).

One day…
She calls me. Beaming.
“I did it,” she says. “I told a new client my full price and paused just like you said, and he said, “Ok”.
She is now in acceptance; freedom from resistance (which in Hannah’s case had taken the form of apathy, anger, and fear).
Now she started to enjoy her sales calls, evolving her services, and attracting people who didn’t question her.
In acceptance, she was more concerned and aware of her clients’ pains, needs, and embarrassments than her own.
And yet, true to herself, which they could feel (hint intended).
Her work. Her confidence. Her life changed forever.
Today, she is living in the US with her family and is charging x3 as high as when we started working together. She sleeps “like a queen” (her words) and her relationship is “back on track” (also her words).
To explain the most meaningful outcome of our work together, she said: Peace.

It’s all about frequency…
The frequency YOU vibrate on.
If you are tired of running every day to make a living, waiting for others to notice you, and having ZERO time for what truly matters.
Improve your frequency.
If you are done feeling that emptiness, bitterness, and frustration grow within.
Improve. Your. Frequency.
Weakness and emptiness are the prices we pay for holding onto smallness.
You don’t deserve to barely make a living, compromising your skills, experience, and talent, and struggling so hard to be seen.
Improve your frequency.
You can apply this to any area of your life:
Want to start dancing?
Want to enjoy dating again?
Want a healthy relationship?
Want peace with your family?
Want your business to take off?
Want to be the first for a promotion?
Want to improve your public speaking?
Want to start making money with your singing skills?
Want greater strategic responsibility at work and higher pay?
Own your greatness
As a result…
There’s joy, peace, and freedom.
Meaning emerges with the clarity of who you really are and staying true to yourself.
The world becomes a playground to enjoy, it will never intimidate you as it once did, and you can go through life with balance and grace.
Or do you want more petty, shame, and emptiness?
