Powerhouse Women

Has achievement become too connected to your self-worth? You'll want to hear this! This week, I'm joined by Shirley Yang Crutchfield, an internationally award winning artist whose powerful, gold-leafed works draw on art history, fashion, contemporary heroines and her own entrepreneurial journey. Our conversation dives deep into the healing + transformative power of the creative process, including the exact moment art saved Shirley during a season of major change and grief. We talk about her identity evolution from entrepreneurship to motherhood, to now becoming a master of her craft without feeling the need to optimize achievement over fulfillment. If you're feeling lost or disempowered, this episode will connect you back to your spark, undo old patterns no longer serving you, and own your inner goddess!

Any time you're about to go to the next level, you'll be given the opportunity to prove to yourself that you can actually hold it. Today, I break down the initiation that happens before we can hold the next level of risk, responsibility, abundance, and more. If you're someone who is calling in massive expansion, you're likely being given opportunities to prove that you can hold it right now (in the form of tests, challenges, or triggers). This is your sign that it isn't the time to pull back… this is the time to lock in, stop defaulting to old patterns of behavior, and prove you can handle the version of yourself you're stepping into.

Nothing in your life will change until you stop outsourcing your own power and start developing the parts of you that already exist. So much of the time, we subconsciously put people on pedestals as a way to relieve ourselves of the responsibility of stepping into our own full potential. In this episode, I share the shortcut to figuring out your unique gifts and purpose in order to cultivate the light that exists within you. I walk you through quick power practices to ground yourself in your power, find who and what you resonate with, and what your biggest triggers are trying to mirror back to you. Remember, the light you see in someone else is not random. You're just recognizing parts of yourself in them.

00:00 How do you find your gifts and purpose?
01:30 Why we need to stop putting people on pedestals.
04:50 One quick practice to help you cultivate your light.
