When the Alarm Went Off, What Did You Do?

WY3_3298-Edit (2)Hey Gorgeous,

I invite you to go back in time, to the second you woke up this morning. How did it go?

Did you:

  • Wake up in a frenzy?
  • Immediately go on Facebook or Instagram?
  • Worry about getting everything done?
  • Feel the incessant need to prove yourself in some way?
  • Beat yourself for something you did wrong the day before?
  • Dread the day ahead and wish you could go back to sleep?

If you woke up with total peace this morning, BRAVO! I’d love to hear about your morning routine.

If you woke up in a frenzy of worry, pull up a seat, sister, we have to talk. 

It’s so easy for success-driven women to forget about their our own inner peace.

Peace for me is the inner knowing that I’m enough exactly as I am. But life hasn’t always been that easy peasy and woo-woo.  

Here’s how my life used to be…

My need to be loved and accepted by others overshadowed my basic primal need to love myself. I was a workaholic; I stayed insanely busy in order to hide from my pain.

I used prescription medication, romance, and food to heal a very spiritual problem; I felt unworthy. I felt less than. I searched outside myself for answers, love, and acceptance.

My worries were rooted in the fear-based messaging of my ego telling me that I wasn’t enough. No matter how hard I worked, and how many accomplishments I fulfilled, I still fell asleep at night feeling worthless! 

And then I woke up. I made the decision that life didn’t have to be this painful. I started listening to the voice of my true self. I invested in support.

I attended some seminars and workshops which blew my mind and heart open, and I made the decision to hire my first transformational coach. I didn’t want to go around in circles like I did in therapy, I wanted real change. I wanted to breakthrough my limitations FAST. 

In only one hour with my first coach, I healed the root cause of my unworthiness, and let that belief go. I created a new and empowering belief system full of worthiness, empowerment, and self-love. As a result of that one hour, a whole new world opened up for me. 

I ended my teaching career and now own my own business, not to prove my worth, but because it’s my purpose and service to the planet. I’m in a healthy and empowering relationship with a partner who meets me as I am and inspires me to be the best version of myself. I workout because my body loves it, not because I need to look perfect. My perfection lies in the love I have for my body as it is NOW.

When you’re enough exactly as you are, there’s nothing to prove. All you have to do is be- and that’s where the peace sets in.  

Now back to you, love…

What if you woke up every morning with energy, delight, stillness and excitement all at once? No longer needing to prove your worth or talent- simply having the confidence to show up exactly as you are? 

With a shift in perception, you can be enough too.

If you’re ready to give real transformation a shot, I invite you to get on the phone with me. 

On a discovery call with me, we will give your true self a voice. Not the voice of “should,” or “I don’t know,” or “I’m not worth it,” instead we will focus on your desires. Desires are a woman’s fuel! They make you, you. It’s my belief that you and only you have the answers. I’ll hold the space for you to discover your next steps for living with total empowerment as a wild woman entrepreneur.

You’ll receive clarity and inner peace so you can start a love affair with yourself and be enough- exactly as you are- NOW.

Feeling Stuck? Follow Your Love.

Hey gorgeous,

Have you reached a certain level of success in business but feel a little bit… off? Stuck?

Is your to-do list never ending? Do those checks off the list make you feel more stressed, no longer giving you the relief you expect?

If you find yourself thinking “I’m not enough” after all those checks off the list, you’re in the right place.

Today’s message is addressing this issue for Women Leaders.

“I’m not Enough” is the conversation blinding women entrepreneurs of their potential.

This Deficit Epidemic tells us that in order to succeed you have to DO more and fill voids of unworthiness so you can be good enough.

Sure, the Dalai Lama called women leaders forth to save the world, but if we continue to DO, DO, DO, and forget to receive, dance, and believe, your love will not be realized and your legacy will be left in the dust.

Check out the Business Woman’s formula for success:
(Do + Give + Suppress + Push + Deliver + Freak Out) Repeat = Crash.

This is a formula for overwhelm and zero connection to your larger vision and purpose.

I’m calling bullsh*t on this conversation. The Way of the Business Woman is an old story.

We need a new formula. We need a new blueprint. 

A successful business isn’t the number one goal of the wild woman entrepreneur.

A fulfilled Soul is.

Your whole human experience must be supported as a woman entrepreneur. When your emotions are ignored and your energy depletes, it’s impossible to believe in yourself and go to the next level of impact.

The next level of impact requires a feminine energy you may have forgotten about.

It’s your love.

Today more than ever our world needs balance, clarity, healing and LOVE. The power of your love as a feminine leader is remarkable. If you follow this love, you’ll get exactly what you want in this lifetime. Your only job is to listen to yourself. Your true self.

My assignment for you this week is to follow your love first and last. 

What words do you love? Collage them on Pinterest.
What outfits do you love? Wear them.
Who do you love? Spend time with them.
What meals do you love? Eat them.
What does your body love? Receive it.
What subjects do you love? Write, teach, coach, and speak about them.

Love is the bottom line for the Wild Woman Entrepreneur.

Notice what opens up today and tomorrow when you follow your love. You’ll find the inspiration you’ve waiting for. You can’t go wrong when you you add more LOVE to your life.

It’s so simple.
Your love is who you are. 

When you strip away the plan, who’s underneath the goal? Who’s underneath the worry? The Wild Woman Entrepreneur is glorious without any effort.

When you DO from the space of LOVE, your work becomes an act of freedom and contribution. When you work from the space of I AM ENOUGH NOW, there’s no way to feel defeated, less than, or unworthy.

This is when the magic happens. 

Follow your soul, not the goal.

Your soul will take you light years beyond any goal of your mind.

As you take your LOVE on, please please keep me posted by commenting below anytime you have a breakthrough. I want to hear about it!

love,
Chrissy

Hatred & Love

Hey gorgeous,

Relaxation is my favorite past time. My boyfriend has another word for it – laziness – but I disagree. Two summer’s ago I found myself blissed out at my favorite Hot Springs sanctuary up north, and I want to share an embarrassing yet transformational experience with you.

…………………..

There I was, relaxing alone in the steam room. Life was good. Stillness, peace, and clarity.

10 minutes later another human being enters the scene. Soon after he sits down, I hear the sharp, squeaky pressure of blades going against his head.

{Chrissy’s ego} 
He’s shaving his head! Shaving his head in my blissed out sanctuary. Gross. Who honestly shaves his head in a public space? Is that even sanitary? A space where we’re asked to sit in silence? I can hear the flick of tiny hairs thrown down the drain at my feet, EWW!

I was SO grossed out. It didn’t take long to notice my state of relaxation slowly transforming into agitation and irritability.

I felt a familiar emotion that I often try to deny: Hatred. I hated this guy.

Me, the life coach, hating an absolute stranger for shaving his head and distracting me.

So I looked within and asked for guidance.
{Enter Wild Woman}
What’s the opportunity here? How can I turn this around?

Then these words leapt out of my mouth before another thought could hold me back, “Do you need any help?”

{Chrissy’s ego}
Oh shit. Did I just say that? Please ignore me.. Please don’t respond.

With huge smile on his face he said, “Wow.. that would be awesome!”

So I walked over,  took his razor, and to my delight realized he had done such a botch job it would have been rude of me to NOT to help him.

There I was shaving a stranger’s head.
I moved from hatred to love fast.
All I had to do was look within for the “soul” opportunity.

We got connected, shared some laughs, and my boiling anger cooled off into compassion, friendship, and dare I say, love.

When you feel your hate instead of trying to hide it, your love gets a wink to come out and play.

Why am I sharing this story with you?

Every single emotion that you feel makes you a whole and integrated human. Just like chocolate chip cookies need sugar and chocolate chips for sweetness, they also need the eggs, baking soda, and flour which are fowl and messy on their own. Mix ’em all together and you’ll get a glorious treat.

Whatever you’re feeling on this entrepreneurial journey, I assure you, you’re not alone. Do you feel jealous? Do you feel angry? Frustrated? Anxious? Ashamed? Overwhelmed? I guarantee there’s GOLD hidden under those emotions if you feel them with love and acceptance. Feel the feeling, ask for the lesson, and then find your message. It’s there.

Your genius could very well be underneath your uncomfortable emotion. The more you expose it, the more light can shine through.

all my love,
Chrissy

10 Learnings from a HIGH VIBE Mastermind with Gina Devee

WY3_2582-EditHey gorgeous,

I went to L.A. last week to mastermind with over 200 women entrepreneurs from all over the world inside a business seminar with my mentor, Gina DeVee.

My goal was to show up as a leader and break $10k by the end of the week. It worked. 

My definition of feminine leadership is pretty simple: Be visible, be yourself, and do whatever it takes to have a breakthrough.

Here are my takeaways:

1. When two or more gather, thoughts become things. 
Surround yourself with women who support you, empower you, believe in you, and inspire you to think and dream bigger than you ever have before. 

2. You must unlearn facts that aren’t true. It’s your job to transform any limited thoughts that have lived inside of you for generations. 
I got to unlearn and reprogram mental wiring and beliefs systems that I inherited from many different generations in my family. I ended the cycle of money shame once and for all because I was willing to face, feel, and then heal my money demon. The breakthrough happened in the spiritual realm. 

3. There are forces of nature conspiring on your behalf…
but you have to be open, faithful, and committed enough to see and feel the magic.  

4. You have to howl so your pack knows where you are. 
Let your unique voice and flavor soar, wild woman! 

5. You get what you focus on. 
You create what you think. Are you thoughts working for you or against you?
You get what you say you’ll do. Is your language defeating you or supporting you?

6. Be the woman FIRST.
Don’t wait to make the money before you become the woman you want to be. The money and success come in after you step into the energy and vibration of the woman having that kind of impact.  That’s when you become a magnet for divine feminine success.  

7. When the faucet runs out, the universe is telling you something.
If you’re having a slow month, it’s most likely time to change, shift, or re-vision. This is what inspired my #wildwomanentrepreneur to come through. I didn’t see my slower months as a burden, but an opportunity to bring something new to life. I got the flu in January which could have taken me out, but instead it inspired me to uplevel higher than ever before with new team members. 

8. Mediocrity is the biggest threat towards your success.
When you think you’ve dug deep enough, dig deeper. When things start getting comfortable, it’s time to up the ante. 

9. If you have not been sued, you have not been successful.
Love it but, ouch! 

10. Your visibility is a contribution. 
Never underestimate the power of showing up and saying YES, even when your nervous mind tells you no. I got on the mic more times in three days than I did over the past two years working with Gina. It paid off (literally and figuratively).

This Wild Woman Entrepreneur has taken on these beliefs! Will you, too?

all my love,
Chrissy

Breakthroughs, Visibility, and Getting My Period.

Hey gorgeous!

If you struggle with visibility, this message is for you.

This past week I had my biggest financial breakthrough inside a mastermind with my business coach, Gina DeVee. Thanks to showing up for myself (finally!) – I’ve broken through to the other side of financial freedom and I had to shoot you this quick video to tell you how I got there.

In this video, I share about my beginning struggles in visibility and where I’m at now. Since the Wild Woman Entrepreneur listens to her body first and last, a key component of my breakthrough was getting my period 1.5 weeks early, so consider this your warning incase you don’t want to hear about my menstrual cycle!

Click the image below to watch:

My breakthrough caused me to literally shed my old way of being to step into a new #millionairecycle. Do you want a piece of that?

Thank you for watching! Have a great Friday.

love,
Chrissy

Find Your SOUL Message with these Exercises

Hey gorgeous!

WY3_3298-EditThis message is about your personal mission as a wild woman entrepreneur. I call this mission your Soul Message, the inspiration that weaves through your offerings, blog posts, and overall rhythm as an entrepreneur. This is what you’re known for and stand for. It’s your legacy.

I love working with women transitioning through the emotional ups and downs of the entrepreneurial path. The healing balm for all fear, doubt, and upset on this journey is getting clear on your Soul Message.

When a woman is clear on her Soul Message, her inner and outer worlds go through massive shifts.  Her wants turn to musts, her somedays turn to now, and her desires become nonnegotiable.  

When you find it, or rather, remember it, your Soul Message will carry you to new heights of creativity and inspiration, making the burnout, fear, and procrastination disappear. If you’re not inspired by your message, you won’t have the strength to get up and spread the Word. Soul messaging is about vulnerability, truth telling, and transforming your shame into self-worth. Every woman’s message has a different flavor, and yours is JUST around the corner.

Here are three unorthodox tips for claiming your Soul Message:

1. Follow your desires. Your desires, message, and impact are all connected. When you receive your desires, a magnetic field of joy ripples around your business and your message becomes irresistible. Welcoming your desires help your soul come alive. Your desires are the roadmap to what you stand for and believe in. The trick is welcoming your desires without an ounce of shame.

2. Listen to your uncomfortable emotions instead of pushing them away. Your shadows carry your gifts, and will point you in the direction of your soul message. What makes you mad? What are you struggling with right now? Shine light on the darkness and find the gold in your struggle. You could very well teach, speak, and coach on the subject that you’re challenged by now because you know the ins and outs of this struggle more than anyone else.  What would open up for you if you healed this struggle? What would open up for the world?

3. Picture your big break. This could be landing a TED talk, being featured on Oprah, or getting a book deal. What does your “big break” look like? What’s the topic? Who’s in your audience? Who are the big shots on your panel? What’s the title and tagline of your book? This final question is the most important one: Why is your audience showing up to receive your teachings? Why are they buying your book? What will they heal as a result of listening to you and your story?

Have fun with these exercises! And please let me know how they go in the comments below. What opened up for you?

Sending you TONS of love, and thank you for inspiring me to share MY message every week.

Love,
Chrissy

My Feature in Divine Living Magazine

On Friday I was featured in one of my favorite online publications for women entrepreneurs,  The Divine Living Magazine.

Screen Shot 2016-03-13 at 7.36.58 PM

Gina DeVee is the founder, and she’s been my business coach for 2+ years. I’m thrilled to share my story with you:

 http://www.divineliving.com/magazine/transform-your-money-story-chrissy-brady-smith/

In the article I share three tips on how to transform your money story. Tip #1 is ringing very true for me. Trust me when I say this, your belief system will make or break you. This opportunity showed up for me after I surrendered and developed unwavering faith in myself as an entrepreneur, not before.

Do you want to be featured on Oprah? Do you want your article published on Huffington Post? Start believing it, feeling it, visioning, and acting “as if” you’re already there. That’s when the magic begins.

Thank you so much for reading!

Chrissy

My New Direction

Have you ever been so excited about a new adventure that you forgot to stop and communicate what you’re up to? That’s what I’ve been doing. I jumped straight into all these emails about the Wild Woman Entrepreneur and didn’t explain to you in real-time how I’m shifting my business focus now.

Next week I’m launching a whole new message. New visual brand, new programs, new way of coaching. It’s been a big week over here at Chrissy Brady-Smith headquarters. Photoshoot, video shoot, rebranding, new hires- it’s been a little overwhelming.

To top it all off I’m leaving tonight for a retreat and will be totally offline this weekend! Talk about surrender.. the Wild Woman is who I’ll rely on as I allow this process to unfold from a distance.

This video will tell you more about what I’m up to now:

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out and I’ll write you back!

Much love,
Chrissy

The Mistakes I’ve Made in Business (video inside)

Aloha from Kauai! I’m on vacation now but since I’m in launch mode (big reveal coming soon!) I’ve been working more than usual. My inner business woman and inner wild woman were not balanced at all, so I gave my Wild Woman the keys a couple days ago so I could fuel my feminine side again.

When I finally gave myself the space to let go and surrender, I found myself reflecting on my growth as a business woman. I started remembering all the mistakes I’ve made on this journey and how I’ve grown from each of them. This was triggered by a real-time mistake I made a couple days ago, and I decided to speak up about it instead of let it own me.

I made a video about it, and instead of only telling you ONE mistake I’ve made, I’m giving you three with some behind the scenes (omg-am-I-really-telling-you-this) details.  Click on the video below to watch!


Now it’s your turn. Care to share your mistakes with me? It feels great, I promise! Just reply to this email and I’ll write back with love and support.

lots of love,
Chrissy

I’m Scared Right Now and That’s Okay

I want to tell you how I deal with fear in real time. No lies.

I’m scared right now.

Some really huge opportunities have been showing up for me in my business as of late, and guess what? As I stretch beyond my comfort zones of safety, I find myself crippled with fear and anxiety at times.

That’s okay!

I’ve hired a team to support my business growth which is pushing my edges of leadership and organization. I’m putting more trust and surrender into my investments than ever before. And to top it all off, I was sick with the flu for the first two weeks of this month! Fear has been coming down HARD.

As I grow, my little one (inner child) feels scared and confused.

The good news? I keep showing up because my fear doesn’t control me anymore, we have an awesome adult relationship and I want to tell you how we jive.

First of all, I never make my fear wrong. That’s like putting a fire out with a blow torch.

I let myself feel the fear, honor it and listen to it, and then give it what it needs. Usually my fear needs safety and containment (think swaddling a baby, no joke). Once my fear receives what it needs, I ask if it would be willing to take on a new expression to help me get what I want, and we call on some other qualities like my courage, vulnerability and focus. When those qualities show up, my fear can relax! 

Here’s what I believe:

If fear is taking you out on any level of your life as a woman, I want to support you. There’s a new and empowering way to relate to fear and I want to help you get there.

I only have a few spots left for free coaching this month. With all of the opportunities I’m receiving now my prices for further coaching will go up in March, so now is the time to receive. After our free coaching call, we’ll discover if we’re the right fit together and you’ll be locked in to my February pricing.

Ask your Wild Woman Entrepreneur what’s right for you. She always knows.

Love,
Chrissy
