I went to Bali to write my book.
What happened in Bali was far greater than anything I had hoped to accomplish.
It was a beautiful unfolding of fate—a divine intervention waiting to happen. Sisterhood was forged. Life-changing insight was revealed. What I found was friendship, clarity, and an unshakable faith. I admitted things I hadn’t even admitted to myself. I found answers I didn’t even know I was looking for.
It’s funny how travel does that. With every venture into the unknown, a new layer of yourself is revealed. You learn things. You make connections. You see things in a different light. Life finally makes sense and just as much as it makes sense, it doesn’t. And you question. Because you’re always meant to grow. You’re never meant to stay the same.
The layer of myself that I peeled back in Bali exposed a deep understanding of how powerful I really am.
It’s no coincidence that big opportunities are flowing like a faucet into my life. It’s no coincidence that planet-shifting women who want to change the world are taking seats beside me.
It’s no coincidence because I.AM.ONE.OF.THEM.
I feel it deep in my bones now. To the very core of me. And I have an unshakable faith that my success is inevitable and the Universe is simply confirming my path. It is conspiring to make things happen for me. It is conspiring to make my wildest dreams come true.
With this new layer of understanding, I’ve also realized that I am not valuing myself and my services enough. When you’re shaken to the core and recognize your true power—as a planet-shifting player, an inspiring coach who changes people’s lives, and an individual who is constantly learning and upleveling her own life—you see how valuable your knowledge and experience really is.
To be completely transparent, I admitted to my new friends that I wasn’t sure if coaching was the right path for me. All week, they lovingly held me as I flitted back and forth with questions. Between writing chapters, I prayed and prayed for answers. “What’s next on my path? What am I meant to be doing?”
Like a Balinese master carver chipping away at his wooden sculpture, eventually the form became clearer and clearer and the end result, astonishing. I do want to coach. I’m good at it. I love asking questions. I love being able to see the big picture and help my clients fit the pieces together. What I don’t love is getting paid very little for what I do and I think my prices have been reflecting my fear of not getting clients, rather than the true worth of my programs and the results I bring {as long as someone is TRULY ready to change}.
So right at this moment, I’m taking a stand for myself and my expertise and I’m raising my prices. Being around woman who charge thousands of dollars for the transformation they provide has made me realize this. They value themselves and the work that they do and after spending a week with them, I see the true value that my services bring as well.
In the end, the trip was everything I needed. I started my book, I realized my worth, I recognized my power. I passed my days by the pool and my evenings in the tub, reading and writing while staring at the misty jungle beyond. I woke up when I wanted to, I took my time eating breakfast, and I smelled ALL of the flowers. Everything was slow—unhurried and peaceful. And best of all, I made friends for life. I feel completely recharged and excited for what’s next to come because whatever it is—I know it will be big. I know it will be just what I need.
