Holy Schmoly, is it hot in here or is it just me?
I think it's me.
Though, if you too are perimenopausal ... it might be you too. Thank God for portable battery operated fans is all I gotta say.
I have heard that coffee is not great for hot flashes but ...
1) I love coffee and
2) my doctor is male
SO COFFEE IT IS!!!
If it's morning in your corner of the world, grab a cup and let's chat!
COFFEE TALK
This month has been one that is all about duality. I have had some of the most incredible moments ... ones that seriously make my heart scream with joy. I've also had some moments where I have had to work through some tough emotions so that the fear and worry and anger didn't take over.
Are you feeling the same?
My advice is to decide what it is, that is within your control. Whether that is donating your time, energy or resources or just sending a prayer. Do THAT. Then allow in as much happiness, gratitude, grace and peace in that you can. I believe in prayer. I believe in sending out good energy into the world. I believe in being protective of my own energy as much as I can.
FENG SHUI TIP OF THE MONTH
Now how exactly can we protect our energy? Here are three quick things that you can do in your space to help alleviate some of it!
1) If you're feeling overwhelmed or anxious, removing clutter can definitely help. If you're wanting a fun challenge you can sign up for my #room4miracels challenge here. It will help keep you inspired! If you feel overwhelmed by the clutter ... choose one room that you hang out in a lot and clear that out! Having a space where you can feel relaxed with no obligations is important.
2) check out what is on your nightstand - you wouldn't believe how much energy you pick up from your surroundings when you sleep. I continually get comments from people who say that they cleared off (and out) their bedside tables and they sleep SO much better!!! Do you have a pile of unread books laying beside you? Homework? Tasks? Worse yet, bills? Everything is speaking to your subconscious mind. Be ruthless with your space and ensure that anything near you while you sleep whispers "peace"
3) Pay attention to what increases your anxiety or anger and remove yourself from it. I intentionally do not watch the news for several reasons but the biggest reason is that it decreases my inner peace. Did you know that there are studies linking unhappiness with how much news people watch? Seriously. Google the peer-reviewed research on it. You'll find a ton of it. Even better than just turning off the news ... turn on the music! You'd be amazing at how much better you will feel.
WHAT (or who) INSPIRES ME:
Since I'm not watching the news, I do have time to watch sports and movies ... and it's even better when they are combined. This month I watched "American Underdog". SO DANG GOOD. It's a true story about a football player who became the most valuable undrafted player in the NFL of all time. When the coach was asking him why he thought he dissevered to be on the field his response was this:
"Because this is my time, sir. Because I know who I am and I know why I'm here. Because I've earned it. I've waited for it, I've bled for it and I'm finally ready for it. I wasn't before. God KNOWS I wasn't but I AM NOW and I will not let you down. You put the ball in my hands and WE WILL WIN."
Sometimes we want to reach a certain goal or height and it seems like it's taking FOREVER ... but as my coach says "it will happen in divine right order". Without a word of a doubt, if I had reached where I am this moment 20 years ago, I would not have the wisdom to prepare for it. The Universe always has our backs, ya know? Hold the faith ... all that you desire is on its way.
COOL SHIT:
Remember waaaaaay back at the beginning of this newsletter when I mentioned I was hot? Good grief it's ridiculous. HOWEVER, the best thing I've found? This handy dandy hand held/desk fan. SO FREAKIN awesome.
It has three speeds and several colours (I got black cause I'm predictable like that). It's battery operated and the handle folds so that it can sit right on your desk. It fits in your purse and is the best thing ever ... unless YOU LIKE sweat pouring down your face and fogging up your glasses??? In that case ... skip to the next section. If not ... you can buy one on Amazon here: Best Invention Ever
oh yah and p.s. .....

INTENTIONAL: Wealth month
In addition to all of that, I'm going to showcase my beautiful friend Ashley. OH MY GOSH she had such a cool transformation!! Here is her story:
HOLY SHIT. February Wrap-up:
- 2.2.22 Opened a band new business.
- With opening a brand new business this also most closing another down.
- Sold a high level offer before I even announced it.
- My husband handed me an extra $220 out of nowhere.
- Payments from selling random things I completely forgot were posted for sale totaling to $122.21 and $37.22.
- Brought in over $450 in my BRAND NEW BUSINESS.
- Within $200 from matching my January income by doing hardly any work at all.
The ONLY Shifts:
- We purchased a plastic storage shelving unit. (Seriously its MEANT for a garage, its white plastic, nothing fancy CHEAP but holy shit it feels so good. We organized and made sure everything had a home.
- Following my gut and every single nudge along the way even when its scarier then shit. I JUST trusted.
OK SO WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT THIS:
Ashley already had worked on her Wealth area previously, so this addition was inexpensive but SHIFTED the energy completely and check out all of the cool stuff that happened!!
Mostly though as we have been moving through INTENTIONAL ... we started with life path, then self-knowledge, beliefs and now wealth.
What happened???? She realized that despite the fact that she had a lucrative business coaching business, she recognized that she wanted to shift it. She listened to her intuition, used her business knowledge and she completely shifted her business to do something that she is COMPLETELY in love with.
It's simple. It's easy for her. It is FUN. It's all her.
She had the clarity she needed, the belief in herself and the faith to begin a whole knew business within DAYS of getting the inspiration.
MEET: Ashley Chandler, Business Coach turned Shirt Maker
She has created THE COACH LOUNGE, which is a cool place for online coaches to hang out virtually, get inspired by each other and also ... pick up some cute inspiring shirts.
Check out her shirts here!!! The Coach Lounge Shop
... and seriously how cute is she?
WHAT'S COMIN UP?
AHHHHHH I am so excited to share this! Now in every program that I run, I have a Tech Team with me!!! EEEEEEEK. You might see posts from "The Tech Team". They will help you out with scheduling or the tech stuff that is NOT my forte. Nothing drives me out of my zone of brilliance than having to figure out why a link isn't working or how to download a video. I am SO much more in my magic when I am not pulled out of it by an excel spreadsheet. BLECH.
So what have The Tech Team and I been up to?????
THE VAULT: the place where all of my best shit sits (meditation, manifestation, mindset and more)
We have uploaded the newest meditation into The VAULT!!! In addition though, we have added in a live video on how to manage when someone judges you as well as the Money Shift Masterclass!! Beginning March 2022 we will be sending out announcements by email to let you know when they have been uploaded into the website and the app!!!
TAKE ME TO THE VAULT
It's $15 CAD every month and the amount of stuff in there is CRAZY. For the price of a bottle of wine ... you can change your whole damn life.
INTENTIONAL: fame reputation and position
This month we are working on fame and reputation. I think this gua is often thought to be only for people who want to be famous. NOT. TRUE. I worked on this area when my son went to provincials for hockey and they were the underdogs by far. They won. A client used this area to help her daughter get accepted into a specific University. I enhanced this area when I wanted to be known for leadership ... and I won an award that I didn't know I was nominated for! What do you want to be KNOWN for??? That's what this gua is for.
You can join us for the full 9 months and uplevel your whole life like Ashley has been ;) or you can pick and choose which areas of your life you are interested in working on!! The full option is here. You can reply to this email if you'd like a custom link for specific areas!!
INTENTIONAL: 9 months to designing your life
I truly believe the this can change your life like no other. It is damn near impossible to change your circumstances if you're stuck in yesterday's "stuff". ;)
p.s. if you'd like to join us for the wealth replays with lifetime access you an do that too!

WHEW! That's a lot hey???
There's more exciting stuff coming ... EEEEEK
TASTY SHIT!
I have been watching the Food Network for years now and one of my favourites is The Pioneer Woman. Ree Drummond doesn't often disappoint with her recipes and I really have enjoyed the two years where her kids film for her. This is one of her tail gate recipes:
Greek 7 layer dip
2 cups hummus (store bought)
One 16-ounce jar roasted red bell peppers, drained and diced
2 cups store-bought tzatziki
2 English cucumbers, seeded and diced
1 1/2 cups sliced mixed Kalamata and Castelvetrano olives
1 1/2 cups crumbled feta
1 pint yellow cherry tomatoes, quartered
Juice of 1 lemon (*** check out my tips below before adding this)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
8 pitas, cut into wedges
- In a shallow glass bowl or baking dish, begin layering in the ingredients in the following order: hummus, roasted red bell peppers, tzatziki, diced cucumbers, olives, feta and cherry tomatoes.
- Squeeze over the lemon juice and garnish with the parsley.
- Serve with the pita wedges.
Our Tips n Tweaks:
- we used red grape tomatoes (I think they were prettier than the yellow)
- I have no idea what "Castelvetrano" olives are so we used green olives with the pimento in them and then black kalamata olives (because they are my favourite). SERIOUSLY ... it's not defusing a bomb. Choose your fave olives or omit them. I promise it will work out.
- the recipe says to squeeze a good amount of lemon juice all over this dish to ensure that it seeps down into all of the layers. Sorry Ree but that is a REALLY dumb idea. It made the dish way too watery and we ended up with juice running down our forearms. #notagoodlookonus . We would skip the lemons next time
- We made two dishes in glass loaf pans; one had no black olives and no roasted red peppers. It was STILL delish though I have to say that I could barely taste the roasted red peppers and I used a whole jar. If you don't have them ... skip them. If you have them and someone in your group doesn't care for them ...add em in anyway. I swear they won't notice.
- This makes a lot. Invite a whack of people over or cut the recipe in half!!! Marley knew we had too much and so she wanted to help us out a bit ...
