Welcome to the magical world of transformation…

Today I faced a super yummy fear!  It was that excited fear you feel right before you speak in front of a group of people:

Coach Cassandra Rae

I know, it’s not the best picture and I look all slouchy…but, who cares? I got to speak to 100 people at Chrystal Bougon’s SoMe Bootcamp!

Here’s how I got the gig…listen up because this is tricky…

I asked for it.

Seriously, that’s all I did.  I sent her an email and asked her if I could lead a short centering exercise.  Okay, I also recorded an audio and sent her a link to listen to with my request. By the way, I also used the audio as a blog post so that it was available for everyone to hear as well. I love leveraging my efforts :~)

Now, she said no to my initial request.  But we agreed that I could do something as long as it wasn’t too woo woo.  And you know what? I think it turned out way better than a centering exercise!

I didn’t even know exactly what I was going to say when I got up there.  But, I knew I was going to bring the group back to the learning state of mind while waking people up after eating lunch.  So I allowed the details of what turned into a Mental/Emotional Stretch to emerge on the spot {I do love improv and it turned out beautifully.}  And what’s even sweeter…she included a link to my website in the emails sent out to all of the participants both before & after the event.  How freaking cool is that?

And it would have never happened if I didn’t ask.  So keep facing those fears, Peeps, and ask for what you want because you just might get it!

This week I’ve been in somewhat of a lull or low energy level.  It makes sense considering how much creative energy I’ve been investing in SimplyFearless.com, which by the way is soooooo beautiful and if you haven’t seen it yet then what are you waiting for?!

Today I’m pulling together the bones of a brand new coaching program titled My Simply Fearless Life and I just received a rush of energy as I decided to color all of the topics onto pieces of paper.  The plan is to play with all of the pieces until I find the structure that makes the most sense.  It’ll be kind of like putting together a jigsaw puzzle.  How fun is that?

So I’m off to create, color and play!
