    The Feng Shui Glow Up

    Hello & Welcome to The Feng Shui Money Couch where I talk about Feng Shui & other Woo. Today I am soft launching a new offering to my community. I have been practicing Feng Shui for 17 years and working with clients 1 on 1 with tremendous results. I’ve helped women like you make space for love and babies and greater abundance in their businesses. My client Camilla wanted to get married and was told by a previous Feng Shui Consultant her astrology reflected that she never would. After working with me to activate her love Gua with detailed Feng Shui adjustments she was engaged to be married within 6 weeks. My client Marguerite longed for her true love but instead had a string of abusive alcoholics and drug addicts as boyfriend’s. I pointed out that she had a bar in her love Gua reflecting and magnetizing this pattern. She moved the bar and activated her love gua and in less than a month she met her husband. They have 2 beautiful daughters. They also happen to be one of the most aspirational relationships I have ever witnessed. My client Kristen had me Feng Shui her hypnosis office where she saw clients and after she activated her fame and career Guas, her practice grew by more than 30 percent. I know Feng Shui works wonders! I thought I was living and breathing Feng Shui until last last year when my mentor Kristina invited me to participate in an accelerated mastermind that incorporated some of the most powerful and sacred abundance and wealth adjustments that exist on the planet. I’m a Feng Shui practitioner, so pretty much every area of my home has been touched with intention and Feng Shui adjustments. That said, I felt like I had reached a plateau. I accepted her offer even though it came with a significant investment. I believe in consistently cultivating and growing my knowledge base and tool box. I knew the practices she would be sharing were only handed down through an oral tradition that came directly from Master Lin Yung the Buddhist Monk who brought Black Hat Feng Shui to the US. Through the mastermind, I learned and applied some of the most sacred wealth adjustments that exist on the planet and my whole world expanded. I began practicing: * something called The Cave of Brahma Meditation * a 27 day Bagua walk through adjustment * a brand new wealth adjustment that professor promised was 10x more powerful than any cure I had previously tried * a karma clearing meditation * Specific Mantras & Mudras * And I began syncing my business up with the new and full moon cycles. What happened really blew my mind. Within weeks, I received $9100 in unexpected cash, I was gifted a brand new car. I was able to buy all new furniture and pay of my debt, I even met a soulmate after being celibate for 2 years. The final breakthrough came as the biggest surprise which was how my circumstances and finances dramatically shifted and I was able to move into my dream home with a pool, jacuzzi, a walk in closet, a gorgeous view and most importantly really good Feng Shui! All things that had been on my vision board for years! My investment totally paid off. I made it back several times over. I wasn’t the only one in the mastermind with huge breakthroughs. Everyone experienced miracles! Hafsa received a Multimillion Dollar Loan for her Glamping business. Jaime saved her Marriage and multiplied her retail business. Molly went from 2000 followers to 20,000 and exponentially grew her marriage counseling business. And here’s the thing - It wasn’t just a one-time windfall of money. My luck has steadily been growing and evolving and building with new friendships, opportunities, communities, collaborations, investments in my business infrastructure, a support team etc. These amazing results happened for me because I was practicing the most sacred and powerful adjustments in Community at an accelerated pace alongside a powerful group of women who were accountable to each other and linked up with the new and full moon energy cycles. Masterminds are Magical! The idea of Masterminds became popularized by Napoleon Hill in his groundbreaking book on manifesting called Think and Grow Rich, where he explored the habits of exceptionally wealthy individuals. Masterminds benefit from the Maharishi effect. A term coined by the Transendental Meditation movement who would send Groups of meditators to meditate on peace in war zone and the fighting would cease. It speaks to how when 2 or more people focus on a particular intention or goal and together their cumulative powers amplify and accelerate the manifestation of that goal. Similar principle applies in sex magic and of course Masterminds. This is why I created THE FENG SHUI GLOW UP Mastermind! So that you can learn and practice the most potent and sacred wealth adjustments that exist in Community - some so powerful I can’t even record them; I’ll only teach them live to you and receive these same results - The Feng Shui Glow Up Is the beginning of your steady flow of clients and money and support where there’s no drop-off. This is where you become the person who works softer but makes 2x the money because there’s such a deep trust in the universe that you literally never second-guess yourself or how supported you are. * This is the room you get into when you want to be surrounded by high-achieving women who also believe deeply in energetics. * These are women no longer willing to pay the cost of stress and “the hustle.” * The women in this master mind are not just meeting their goals-- they are blowing PAST THEM. * SUPER FUN MANIFESTATION-- WHEEL OF FORTUNE! YES! WHAT?! But also women are feeling more confident when selling. Sales are going up. They are getting inspired ideas for long term sustainable income. Working SOFTER and Making MORE MONEY which is my specialty. * This is where you align with your million dollar year. Your best year ever. Your highest paying client. Your biggest pay in full yet. * Your million view Reel. I like to use this imagery and visual…. You’re stepping into a new frequency and timeline. Your highest timeline. There’s a difference between simply riding a wave and trying hard to catch one. This is the container where you harness the wave so you can simply ride it and sync up with a whole new frequency. This is where in 5 years you’ll look back and be able to say ‘That was the moment it all changed for me for the better.’ This is my Most intensive offering. For a curated group of ladies I will be offering it at a special rate that you won’t see anywhere publicly. This is a pilot program. It’s will be less than what you’ll see me selling it for in just a few weeks when I hard launch it. It’s available for presale until 7/5 to a limited number of women 8 to 10 and if you want to take advantage of this special offer come into my dm’s for all the details and link. The Mastermind will commence on Sunday 7/26/26. I can’t wait to go on this journey with you because when I host this hybrid virtual and local Mastermind, I will be participating alongside you and manifesting my next level timeline too! You can excplore all my offerings and connect with me via my Link-tree! Ok that’s what I have for you today be sure to subscribe, like, and share with anyone who could benefit from this!

  2. The Moving Glow Up Strategy!

    Jun 5

    The Moving Glow Up Strategy!

    Hello & Welcome to The Feng Shui Money Couch where I share Feng Shui Wisdom & Other Woo! My name is Laura Carrillo aka The Feng Shui Lady. Today I am sharing The Moving Glow Up Strategy! Moving is a complete reality reset. A Feng Shui Consultant can be your Conscious Guide & Midwife to your new Life. Feng Shui is one of the most Powerful Tools and Strategies for Moving your home or business successfully and maximizing and activating your highest timeline. You can step into a whole new life with an empowered sense of your own story and main character energy. Feng Shui allows you to story board your life and curate your ideal personal narrative. For Thousands of years Feng Shui was the exclusive strategy of the Royals & the Elite Class. Think Generational Wealth. Feng Shui is a success strategy. I used to move every few years when I was in my twenties and thirties. But up until last year, I hadn’t moved in about 13 years. I was due for a new level of expansion. Last year my whole world transformed when I moved and since then my whole life has up-leveled on every measure. My health, my love life, my car, almost every piece of furniture in my home, my actual home and most recently my circle of friends and influence. This time last year I was in a completely different reality & trajectory. I don’t even recognize my life. The catalyst of change and growth started with change itself. Strategic shifts informed by Feng Shui. I rearranged and replaced almost everything in my former home and I deliberately activated all 9 guas and energetic themes from Love & Relationships to Money and Career! That’s when my life circumstances suddenly and dramatically shifted. I was moved to go in a wholly unexpected and to be honest unplanned direction. The universe delivered a perfect storm for a dramatic move closer to family! First my mom passed away, then my brother fell ill and then my father became erratic, frail and vulnerable. I left LA after 18 years under duress. My family needed me and my hand was forced. Duty called so I answered. I moved a few miles from where I had endured my not so pleasant formative high school years. Close enough to family to be there for them while simultaneously being close enough to Laguna Beach to have access to a woo community. I should mention that when you make shifts in your environment especially drastic ones, the universe will respond with massive changes that don’t necessarily present themselves in an expected or even desirable manner. Not to fret because God works in mysterious ways. God or the Universe will get your attention one way or another. It helps to cultivate trust in the universe and take a wait and see approach to seemingly undesirable circumstances. Just know there’s a bigger picture and outcome you can’t yet see waiting for you. A blessing in disguise is behind every obstacle. The obstacle is actually the path. It helps to have a guide to walk you through the twists and turns. An energetic midwife. I can personally speak to the positive upswings in my career and social life which once I Feng Shui’d my new home began to unfold. Yet again however I experienced another tower moment with a break up. The relationship kept me tethered to LA in a way that no longer served me. I had to let go of my old life in its entirety to make space for my new one. I understand and can help others navigate this journey. I was not necessarily happy or comfortable when my tower moment came and I struggled with letting go but it was exactly what I needed. It allowed me to become fully present to my current environment. I understand and appreciate the journey of ascension such that I can help others navigate it. Ultimately the changes are for our highest good. I think it’s important to recognize and point out that change even good change requires some sacrifice and a period of uncertainty and discomfort. Your big reveal is always worth it though. When you shift your energy with Feng Shui, the universe delivers. Change can appear as undesirable on the face of it but trust and believe there is a higher plan and vision at play. You can make swift, strategic decisions and take actions utilizing FENG SHUI as a guide. That’s my medicine and my magic. I had a strategy that helped ground me in the midst of what felt like chaos and now I am here to help others navigate a reality reset! Moving is a major life change. It’s going from the known into the unknown. There’s a million decisions and details that need to be attended to. There’s a huge emotional component. Even in the best of circumstances, it’s one of the most stressful, physically demanding and chaotic times of your life. It can feel destabilizing. If you move somewhere where you don’t know a lot of people, it can also be a very lonely time when you actually need support the most. That was certainly my experience. I felt vulnerable and alone. I know that journey intimately and have the tools to help others step into their highest timeline. Moving is a time when FENG SHUI is a strategy that supports, protects and elevates you. It provides actionable, solutions, and even divine intervention. We all need a soft place to land and a guide into our highest timeline in this wild crazy world! In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, “shelter” comes in fourth place just before “breathing”. It’s freaking important and necessary to our survival. I see my work as playing a midwifery role in the birthing of a new home. It’s what I live for. That’s why I recently tailored my suite of Services to address all the stages of moving. I can tell you that I have tracked a familiar pattern associated with moving over time and it works like this. You make wherever you currently live as magical, beautiful, organized and efficient as possible. Once that is achieved, the floodgates open. Your life will inevitably improve and your expansion can lead to a bigger and better space. Opportunities and Resources for a move into your highest timeline now have the space to become available. If you desire support on this journey, I am here for you. I will help you have a soft landing with support and a host of service options for every financial bracket and phase of life. Feng Shui and I will meet you where you are. My new suite of Services are tailored around moving and can be secured either à la cart or as comprehensive service depending on your needs and budget. My offerings include Property Reports for Selection of a New Home, Bagua Walk Throughs to uncover all your power centers, and finally a comprehensive VIP Experience that encompasses all of the above along with 6 weeks of comprehensive coaching. I play the role of Midwife as you birth a new life and home. I feel especially connected with this role after navigating it for myself so recently. I also have a Free-bee that anyone can download called Feng Shui Basics. I will meet you where you are. I will have links in the show notes for all of my offerings. I want to leave you with one big takeaway where it comes to moving. When selecting a new space look for a floor plan that is a complete square or rectangle. Try avoid unusual or L shaped floor plans because that is an indication that one of the nine power centers in the home is missing. All right everybody thank you for joining me.

  3. Who Will Soar with Feng Shui?

    Mar 13

    Who Will Soar with Feng Shui?

    Hello & Welcome to The Feng Shui Money Couch! Today’s theme and title is “Who Will Soar with Feng Shui? “ I’m speaking to and working with the Seekers who are legitimately doing the work and taking accountability for their role in how their lives play out but who still feel blocked. You are Seeking Fulfillment in your career where you get to do work that makes your heart sing and pays handsomely! It doesn’t feel like work because it’s an extension of who you are. It’s work that you would do even if you weren’t getting paid except you are getting paid and paid well. It feels like you are getting paid to play! That’s the dream right? You are seeking Big Love, a Love match gives as good as it gets where you feel seen, heard and understood. You get each other and can be your authentic selves. You both love the same music, or cuisine. You even enjoy working out together and bring out the best in each other. You connect physically, intellectually and spiritually in a way you never imagined was possible. Together you amplify each other and you can finally look back at what it took for you to arrive at this Love and say it was worth it. You’re out here giving this life your all during some very tumultuous times! Yah we are! You have trained in your craft and you care deeply about making a difference. You have worked with coaches and gone on retreats, yet you’re maybe you’re still struggling to make a splash. I get it! You are the kind of person who Feng Shui is the perfect practice for because you will do the Practical with the Woo with Gusto and that’s why it works for you. In Feng Shui Human Luck is predicated on attitude and energy and you are the kind of person who can get the most benefits because you have the ingredients to not just move the couch into the power position. You have the intention and the imagination to make that a sacred act. You feel like you are doing all the right things like limiting your consumption of news that feels like trauma dumping just to keep your sanity and wellbeing intact. You’re wondering what else can you do? Well Feng Shui, That’s what you can actually do…. You are working hard to pivot and create a unique lane for yourself in a technologically accelerating world so that you can’t be replaced. The more techy the world becomes the more grounded we need to be and Feng Shui is an Earth Science that’s over 5000 years old! It’s been working for people long before technology and will continue to work as we evolve because it has always evolved with humanity. You are consuming wellness and self help content, like this, and investing in therapy. Yes, I am talking to You! You want to feel like you have a soft place to land and recharge your batteries no matter what’s happening in this big crazy world. Feng Shui is your Space Therapy. If you’re not doing these kinds of things and you’re not taking accountability for your part in making the most of this life. My work may not resonate with you. Perhaps you have looked up to mentors in the past, Spiritual Teachers or Gurus who turned out to be frauds or just flawed humans. I’ve been there and yes that will leave a mark. But you also end up with a new level of discernment so I am talking to you too. You are drawn to the Woo but you like it grounded and aligned with an Embodied Example. Instead of Do as I say, you are looking for Do as I Do. That’s Embodied Woo. I’m here to build community around this premise. I can teach you simple actionable Feng Shui cures and adjustments that can fit seamlessly into your lifestyle and turn your home into a manifesting tool! The days of self aggrandized, narcissistic, predatory “Gurus” are falling away. We are currently watching many of them fall from grace. I along with many others are stepping up. I work with seekers because l am one. I see you. You have done the shadow work! You are my people! I can help you. Feng Shui is an energetic practice that is especially effective when you are clear about who you are and ready to create alignment with your environment. If you have worked with a Shaman, you be familiar with Ayahuasca. This plant medicine clears away your energetic blocks through purging both physically and energetically. It’s not for the faint of heart! Feng Shui does it in a much gentler way with decluttering and rearranging. It’s physical and energetic but if you have done the aforementioned soul work in Therapy or with Plant Medicine, you’re going to love Feng Shui’s medicine and find it a breeze! A breath of Fresh Air! Your new love language! Feng Shui is a physical language after all! With Feng Shui, when you make your adjustments internal and external, you can trust the universe to take care of the rest. It is such an empowering practice. Who Soars with Feng Shui? Well, people come to me when they have done all the hard “obvious” work and they are looking for the missing link. Feng Shui is exactly that! My client Vanessa came to me after reaching a breaking point in her adoption journey. It was an expensive, often painful and exhausting process. She and her husband had been unsuccessful in pitching themselves to birth mothers and agencies for over 2 years. In what she said was “A final hail Marry” she reached out to me. When I worked with them, I helped them perform a combination of Feng Shui Adjustments for their home and a Blessing Ceremony inviting their baby home. The Practical with the Mystical. Six Days later, Vanessa was paired with a birth mother and had a baby in her Arms. I was personally floored! She was my first Feng Shui for Baby Client. That said, it’s worked every time since then! I have helped couples with both conception and adoption. I can’t explain exactly why it works or promise a guaranteed outcome. I can only say that it has worked every time I have used this practical with the mystical protocol. Everyone’s Story is different but when you align your environment with your intentions, the Universe Responds! If you aren’t accessing the success or outcome you feel you have worked so hard for, Feng Shui could be the energetic variable missing. It’s what for Thousands of years Kings & Queens and the Elite class used to remain in power and withheld from the masses. It’s what they are still using today! The difference is now we too have access to these powerful ancient sacred tools. Perhaps they have been made available to help humanity bridge the gap in wealth inequality. That’s how I think of it. Why should so few have so much? Let’s spread the love! The world is pretty crazy right now and we can’t really control what is happening but we can control our personal energy and our immediate environment with Feng Shui. My new 2 for 1 Birds of a Feather Feng Shui Together offer is meant to welcome more seekers to the world of Feng Shui. Of course you can fly solo because I will be with you for the full six week journey. That said if you do bring a friend, you can split the bill and soar together. Either way it’s about building community around Feng Shui and making it more accessible. I don’t focus on how bad the economy looks, I focus on how in spite of that, I have the most abundance I have ever had. I’m here to help others in these times of uncertainty experience expansion and abundance too. Be sure to spread the love far and wide by sharing, liking and Subscribing! With Much Love & A Little Woo; The Feng Shui Lady. Cheers & Ciao for now! Laura’s Substack ~ THE FENG SHUI MONEY COUCH is a reader-supported publication.

  4. Invest In Your Nest

    Mar 6

    Invest In Your Nest

    Hi & Welcome to The Feng Shui Money Couch where I explore themes around Feng Shui, Wellness and other Woo. During Chaotic times where we cannot control what is happening in the outside world and our only sphere of influence is through our personal energy and our immediate environment, Feng Shui is the perfect tool to turn to! I titled this episode “Invest In Your Nest “ because as a Feng Shui consultant, this is one of my personal mantras. It’s similar in sentiment to Voltaire’s “Paradise is where I live.” Or his other famous quote “Il faut cultiver notre jardin.” Which translates to (“We must cultivate our garden.”) As far as Feng Shui is concerned investing in your home or nest is akin to investing in Gold. The ROI is pretty much guaranteed. If you don’t want to feel like you need a vacation from your life, then do all you can to create your own personal paradise. Covid created a crisis around the importance of home and having our own personal Idaho so to speak. When you can’t hop on a plane at the drop of a dime either because you don’t have the discretionary income or the time of work or there’s a global pandemic, you’re ultimately confronted by your four walls. I encourage my clients to cultivate spaces they love and are fed by. It’s also important for your home to evolve with you so as you grow and change so to does your environment. There’s plenty of environmental psychology and science to support this. Epigenetic’s really drives home the importance of your environment over your genetics from a health perspective. In the words of environmental biologist Bruce Lipton, You change the container, you change the contents. This is for good or ill. The environment dictates the outcome. I was actually introduced to Epigenetic’s while I was studying Feng Shui at Terah Katherine’s Collin’s Western School of Feng Shui some 16 plus years ago. In her Books about Feng Shui Terah introduces her students to these ideas and their origins. Feng Shui goes well beyond just decorating and into the realm of creating spaces that heal and nourish their inhabitants so they can thrive. That’s why when I make decorative choices they are always informed by Feng Shui. Decorating with Feng Shui turns your homes decor into a self fulfilling prophecy. If you treat your home like a manifesting tool suddenly every little choice you make becomes a collaboration with your environment towards a positive outcome or at the very least an enhanced one. That is Feng Shui in a nutshell. Understanding things like where your money is represented in the home suddenly changes your relationship with that area of your home. By the way, your Prosperity Gua which is the area of your home which represents wealth is located in the far back left hand corner of your home in relationship to the front door facing in. If money matters to you, go see what’s happening in that area of your home. Is it it tidy, does it feel or look rich? Perhaps you can place something expensive here or a healthy thriving money tree or something purple like amethyst. Purple is the color of Abundance in Feng Shui. If your bathroom happens to land in this Gua and it feels like money is going down the drain. A Feng Shui practitioner can help cure that and redirect the chi so it doesn’t get flushed away. The point is your home is a mirror to what’s happening with you and Feng Shui helps you recognize what’s being depicted and helps you curate a positive and supportive environment. If you feel like you could use some help feathering your nest, consider hiring a Feng Shui consultant. If you would like to work with me, I am offering a flat rate special journey on virtual consultations launching now in March. Along with this flat rate, I will work with and coach you for 6 weeks so you have my support In effectively implementing your Feng Shui adjustments and cures for a full lunar cycle and change. I’ll curate a specific Feng Shui protocol based on your individual space and walk you through activating all 9 Guas or life Themes of your home over a 6 week period. I include 2 Zooms one at the beginning and one at the completion of our journey along with six weeks of Telegram coaching and materials. As an added incentive I am offering limited time 2 for 1 deal on this VIP service! If you sign up with a friend and take the Feng Shui Journey with me together, you can split the cost between you! It’s so much fun to take this journey with a friend and share your experience of transformation in collaboration! I am opening up my calendar and schedule to dedicate March and April to these VIP coaching containers and this limited time 2 for one offer. I encourage you to share this experience with someone you love! Links for both options will be in the show notes! Individual VIP Feng Shui Journey & 2 for 1 VIP Feng Shui Journey. Whether you take the journey with me privately or with a friend, it’s like having me on tap for a comprehensive 6 week Feng Shui journey! Be sure to spread the love by telling a friend, subscribing, liking and sharing! Cheers & Ciao for Now! Laura’s Substack ~ THE FENG SHUI MONEY COUCH is a reader-supported publication.

  5. Riding The Fire Horse!

    Feb 27

    Riding The Fire Horse!

    Happy Lunar New Year! The Fire Horse Lunar New Year Started with a bang on February 17th. A New Moon Lunar Eclipse which for me personally coincided with a rainstorm and a 2 day long packed agenda of very detailed Sacred Ceremonial Practices and deep inner work. It was intense! The final days of the year of the Snake seemed to universally challenge everyone I knew with some kind of upheaval or drama. The shift in energy from the Snake To The Horse have felt jolting. If you consider the world stage in this regard, s**t is getting real. The final weeks of the Snake year found me preparing for my Valentine’s Day event to both Create and Promote my pilot Welcome The Love with Feng Shui program. A labor of love with an emphasis on labor. I basically created a program from scratch that pulled from all my years of experience helping women make space for love. The Feng Shui wisdom I included in the presentation is a consolidation of the most impactful and effective tools that have served to create breakthroughs for both myself and my clients. I pulled from all the various Feng Shui Schools I have trained in to create a unique program you’re not going to find anywhere else. If you’ve been listening to the pod you’ve probably heard me talk about it. But today I am going to be transparent about taking you behind the curtain of what it takes to birth a pilot program as an entrepreneur on a subject as powerful and vulnerable as love. All this preparation was happening while I had simultaneously committed myself to producing and filming 2 reels a day for LTK with an emphasis on Fashion Feng Shui and delivering my weekly podcast. I was spreading myself pretty thin. This also coincided with the 1 year anniversary of my mom’s passing and funeral so I had a lot of emotions unexpectedly come up for me. I’m going to be real with you, I was whipped out! So yes I took a week of the Pod to recalibrate. In reality Friday’s are my self imposed deadline and I suppose it’s an arbitrary one because no one is paying me to show up or going to be affected adversely if I don’t. It’s a structure I created to hold myself accountable and I usually do. However, I have come to the conclusion that Periodically I need to give myself some grace and this last week I just wasn’t feeling well and needed to recharge my batteries. I need to occasionally take a digital vacation but I promise to come back bearing gifts! Maybe you too have been feeling overwhelmed and pulled in many directions or stretched thin. The Energies & The Astrology is no joke. We are now officially in The Year of the Fire Horse 🐴 and it’s going to ask a lot from us energetically. My advice is to commit to a self care routine that will support the level of energetic output you are immersed in. Meditation, Exercise, Rest, Journaling & Therapy for example are all expressions of self care. Even just a couple of these habits can help us navigate life’s challenges. The Fire Horse Year is a marathon and if you don’t pace yourself, you could burn out before the race is over. It’s a one year as numerologist Gail Minogue spoke about when I interviewed her back in December! One years are beginnings so they don’t necessarily yield immediate results. Instead they demand a lot of foundational work and the stamina to get it done. I’m here to tell you it’s ok to ask for help! For my part, I called in some back up from my super lovely Tech meets Woo lady Ashley who recently started helping me with the backend of my website and business portal. She’s an absolute angel! I called her in to help me upload the newly recorded live presentation of my Welcome The Love program to my Kajabi portal and build out a sales page for it and an email sequence to support the program. If I try to do this stuff by myself it takes hours and a lot of Chat GPT prompts to accomplish. Also no guarantee that I would do it correctly. This kind of Tech is not my jam. Ashley can set this up for me in 5 minutes while standing on her head so I love her!!! While I was working with Ashley, I was explaining to her that at the beginning of my live Zoom presentation on Valentine’s Day no one showed up into I was a third of the way in. Not only was this humbling, it forced me to have to repeat the beginning and mess up the flow and order of the recorded presentation. I had to spend hours meticulously editing the recording to get the sequence correct. As I was explaining this to Ashley, I burst into tears. All the emotions I had been holding in just came to the surface. Ashley was so sweet. She does energy work, human design, breath work, etc so she knows how to hold space. She also supports a lot of Spiritual entrepreneurs and is one herself so she let me cry then shared how she too had broken down earlier that same morning with her own stressors. It is eclipse season and everyone is going through something. She shared with me how common my experience was among creators and it was ok to re-record if I wanted. Especially when launching a new program and building a new audience there’s some trial and error. She also suggested that Valentines Day might not have been an ideal day to host a live. People are often busy or distracted that day. Yes, I told her, you have a point but even my friends didn’t show up for one reason or another. It doesn’t matter who makes the live Ashley said, it’s All About The Replay. People pay for the option to watch it live or at their leisure. Plus you’re going to sell the recording on the portal for immediate download. Ashley also helped me understand that the people who will actually value and pay for my expertise will gravitate to my work as I put myself out there more and more. I just have to keep showing up and letting you know where to find me and how I can help. I really poured my heart and soul into the program and I know I have something special here that can really help women especially women who have struggled to find love for years and years. But really anyone who is out there in this current dating climate. I was out there very recently too and for a really long time. And I’m not here giving you doom and gloom advice about how bad it is or insisting either gender is the problem. That’s not my point of view. My approach focuses on energy, action and timing. I’m offering a unique approach through the lens of Feng Shui with actionable solutions to make space for love. I also believe most people need some sort of therapy around attachment styles in order to not only be a good partner but to also pick a good partner. I certainly benefited from this type of therapy. The more tools we have in our arsenal the better. Feng Shui is my favorite tool but it’s not my only tool! Talking to Ashley really helped me put things in perspective. We all need support in some area of our lives and businesses. Now that I have worked through the hard part of birthing the course, I can make tweaks knowing the foundation for the body of work is built. I get to introduce Welcome The Love to my new community and present it locally at Awakening’s in Laguna Niguel soon! Since we are in Mercury Retrograde now I am thinking I might rename the course “Where Is The Love?” because that seems to be the primary question folks are asking themselves these days. There’s a location in your home that Feng Shui can help you find and cultivate. I’m excited for the opportunity to connect with a whole new organic audience. As of right now we are talking about hosting my live event on Saturday March 21st at 2pm. Community is important and I just moved here so I’m eager to connect with like minded people! I want to support my local community and my online community. I’m so grateful for my evolving professional community including Ashley who is equal parts Tech Goddess, Business coach and Therapist. Priceless. She’s worth every penny because for a long time I did everything myself and the one thing I am really good at is Feng Shui and helping folks make space for their blessings and Love is one of those blessings. Tech & Marketing are new muscles I’m learning how to build and it’s a little painful in the beginning but that’s why you get a trainer. This year I am working with people like Ashley and my Feng Shui & Business Mentor Kristina so I know I am no longer doing this alone. I’m also here to serve and that’s the energy behind my Love Program. I’m currently making the tweaks to the downloadable version to add as much value as possible. We are in Mercury Retrograde as I record this starting from Wednesday February 25th until March 20th so it’s an ideal time to rework reimagine and edit things. I’m also working out the date for my live presentation which might end up being in April. Eclipse season mixed in with a Mercury Retrograde is like working with a moving target so bear with me! I will definitely keep you posted! Remember to spread the love by Subscribing, liking and sharing. Wishing you all a glorious Fire Horse Year. Cheers & Ciao for now!
