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

Managing Your Emotions as a Wild Woman Entrepreneur

3ff7145Do you ever feel lost or confused on this entrepreneurial path? 

Do you notice anxiety, fear, frustration, shame, sadness, or worry continuing to show up in your business? 

You’re not alone. I’ve been there, trust me. 

But I have some bad news….

If those painful emotions continue to show up and you don’t deal with them responsibly, there’s a VERY BIG breakdown happening in your business. 

The impact you desire to have on the planet is wasted every minute those emotions and anxieties take you out of the game.
 
When those painful and foggy emotions are triggered, your survival energies run the show, making your flight, fight, or freeze responses interrupt your nervous system. As a result your creativity gets blocked, squashed, or worse- forgotten. 
 
I’m here to tell you there’s another way to live. There’s another way to lead. There’s another way succeed.

 
After all the free coaching I’ve given this month, I’ve realized my biggest passion: helping women entrepreneurs manage their emotions so they can break through their upper limits of success and happiness.

I believe business to be rite of passage, a portal that shows you how big you can play as you move through the emotions of fear, shame, and anxiety. This initiation invites a new archetype of feminine leadership to emerge, The Wild Woman Entrepreneur. 

Last week I shared a few of her beliefs with you, and now I want to show you the secret behind her success.

The Wild Woman Entrepreneur has mastered her emotions.

  • She delivers her message with unwavering faith because she’s transformed her fear into power.  
  • She breaks through her upper limits of success and happiness BECAUSE she’s no longer taken out by anxiety.
  • She’s visible online because she’s healed her shame and exploded her self worth.
  • She makes amazing money from a space of service and contribution because guiltno longer interferes with her sales.

The best part? The Wild Woman Entrepreneur has filled her cup with so much love,that being misunderstood or rejected doesn’t phase her.

She’s mastered the art of feeling f*&^ing amazing about herself no matter what circumstance life throws her.

Do you want a piece of that? I’m still available for free coaching this week! On the call we can zoom right in on the emotional block you’re experiencing now, and transform it quickly into your creative power. The woman behind the biz deserves just as much love and attention as the woman leading the biz.

Love,
Chrissy

P.S. For Valentine’s Day, give yourself this gift. This is my last month of free coaching and I can’t wait to get to know you! At the end of the call, we’ll discover (after working together in real time) if we are the right fit for a coaching relationship. I have some awesome new (secret!) programs supporting the emotional success of women entrepreneurs and I can’t wait to share them with you. The prices are going up in March, so this February is your time to take advantage.  

Wild Woman Entrepreneur

shutterstock_105619256Welcome sister,

I’d like to introduce you to a new symbol of feminine leadership. She’s a heroine, an inspiration bridging the gap between business and pleasure.

She’s inside of you right now, but you need to slow down, close your eyes, and breathe her in. She doesn’t show up through DOING or PUSHING. Her presence must be felt through your senses, intuition, and energy beyond the mind.

She’s an endangered species and needs our love, attention, and focus to emerge in this crazy busy world of business, success, and competition among women.

She’s the Wild Woman Entrepreneur. 

The Wild Woman Entrepreneur connects two archetypes:
The Modern Day Business Woman (driven, focused, logical) + The Ancient Wild Woman (untamed, surrendered, sensually & emotionally awake)

How does she live her life? She believes the woman behind the business deserves just as much love and affection as the woman leading the business. Her emotions must be fed, her body must be nurtured, and her fears must be heard.

What does she stand for?

Acceptance
The wild woman entrepreneur has radically accepted her whole self, even the parts she has judged as dark, ugly, or not okay.

Presence
She develops her internal sanctuary of awareness: the quiet place she returns to any moment with a still mind, soothed emotions, and a calm body.

Creative Genius
The Wild Woman Entrepreneur moves her body through every block.

Vulnerable Messaging
Her message moves mountains because it’s authentic, vulnerable, and real. Her truth expands time.

Trust
She trusts her Divine Purpose and doesn’t search outside herself for answers. She follows the wisdom of her internal guidance system first and last.

Celebration
The Wild Women Entrepreneur embodies celebration. This act dissolves any comparison, judgment, jealousy or competition in her heart.

Body Freedom
She loves her hips, her stomach, her jiggles, her wrinkles, her cellulite, her moles, her grays, and every single imperfection. When she loves her body, her light shines like a beacon of healing for the feminine.

Can you see yourself in any of these beliefs?
Do you have a desire to to see what’s available inside this new archetype of feminine leadership?

I’ll share more beliefs with you next week. Until then, stay tuned for a HUGE reveal at the end of month on the evolution of my brand and offerings. To celebrate, I’m offering more FREE COACHING CALLS ’til the end of the month.

All my love,
Chrissy

P.S. Ready to give the woman behind the business the emotional support she deserves? The inner work of the entrepreneur is 80% of business. You can ask any business expert, if you don’t have a healthy mindset, your emotions and fears will take you out of the game. That means you won’t have the impact you desire, and I know that’s the number of goal of all Wild Woman Entrepreneurs. Impact = Success. Give the woman behind the business love by getting on the phone with me. We can move through your blocks in one hour. Sign up for your free call with me now: FREE COACHING CALLS

A video honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Today in the U.S. we’re celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. He was one of the many leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, on top of being a Minister and social activist who was assassinated in 1968. He stood for the equality of all beings, and used his faith, conviction, heart and voice to move the masses.

In the video below, I share a story about his evolution as a leader and the one major quality he embodied that ALL leaders need in order to succeed.

Since I used to be a teacher and studied Social Justice for my Masters, it was really fun to make this video and remember his stand.

Click the video below to watch. Get excited because I give major props to a woman that inspired the Montgomery Boycott, which sparked the civil rights movement. Her name is Rosa Parks and there’s a chance you don’t know the real story behind her role in the movement, so watch and find out!

Thanks for watching and now, I want to hear from you.

How can you bring Dr. King’s embodied “YES” to your life and business now?  That YES trumps all fear, reasoning, and obstacles. What are you a YES to? I want to hear, so respond to this email and let me know. I’ll write you back, stat!

All my love,
Chrissy

Resistance and Fear

Last week I experienced a near death experience.

Ok, not really. But it felt like it. I posted something vulnerable on Facebook.

“How can you compare a Facebook post to a near death experience,” you ask?

Simple. When the body senses danger, you have three responses: You fight, flight (leave your body), or freeze.

I’ve been frozen for a while on my personal Facebook page. My mind has been telling me that it isn’t safe to share my coaching business on that platform because I’ll be judged or disliked by my friends and family.

Luckily, I caught myself and asked the question that ALWAYS brings me back to the present moment and into my power:

“What’s the age of that story?” 

That story was 5 years old. Something happened in the first grade that caused me to believe that if I shared myself vulnerably with others, I’ll get hurt.

The fear of a 5 year old girl was running the show.

Then what?

When you diagnose your limited belief, the prescription is to write a new and empowered story that matches your power in the present moment. 

I’ll get hurt if I share myself vulnerably with others
turns into
When I share myself vulnerably with others, I give permission for others to do the same. 

My vulnerability becomes a contribution.

Next up? Resistance. Resistance shows up in so many ways:
Procrastination.
Pain.
Tears.
Overwhelm.
Sweat and nerves.
Reasoning your way out of it.

When resistance is present, your scared mind comes up with every “reason” you shouldn’t do what you want to do.

When that happens. Do the opposite. Go for it. Dive in. 

For me, the opposite action was pressing, “Post”!
Kind of ironic, right?

A leader shows up, even in the face of resistance or fear. You’re one of those leaders, << Test First Name >>, one of the greats. If you’re feeling defeated now by the sneaky feelings of fear or resistance, that’s a GOOD THING!

That means you’re up to something big, beautiful and real.

That’s why I want to invite you to have a personal coaching call with me. If you’re ready to move through these fires once and for all, I’m now opening up my calendar free FREE hour long coaching calls with potential clients.

Free session? Yes. I don’t believe in Discovery calls anymore. The most authentic way to discover if a coach is right for you is to work with her first hand, that’s why I want to work with you in real time on an issue that’s keeping your business and life small.  This confidential call will be an hour long, a priceless opportunity to transform an issue that’s keeping you up at night so your life and business can finally meet as one.

All my love,
Chrissy

Rituals to Begin 2016

Happy-New-Year-2016-Download-Images-22Happy New Year! January is my favorite time of year to let go of what no longer serves me so I can step into the new year with empowerment and clarity. I’ve included five rituals for you use to complete 2015 so you can welcome the best year of your life from a clear and empty space.

Rituals to Complete the Past

1. Create a Year in Review: What about 2015 are you grateful for? Gratitude turns problems into gifts, chaos into peace, confusion into clarity, and the surprises into perfect timing.

Go through your 2015 Calendar and honor your experiences, challenges, and accomplishments month by month. Where did you choose love? What did you accomplish this past year that you’d like to celebrate? What are your favorite memories that you never want to forget? Write down your accomplishments in your journal, and celebrate your abundance, generosity, love, and growth.

2. Letting Go: Letting go is the path to freedom. As we let go, the tender ground of honesty, healing and love will carry us through the world. To let go is to release the images and emotions, the grudges and fears, the upset and disappointments of the past that bind our spirit.

This is your chance to consider the behavior, beliefs or habits of the past that you’d like to leave behind. What negative beliefs no longer serve you?  What bitterness is still in your heart? What anger isn’t serving you anymore? What unforgiveness is still in your heart? What pain are you ready to say goodbye to? Write what you’re letting go of on small slips of paper, and safely burn each fear, belief, or painful circumstance in a fire. Watch your past disappear. Honor this process with a bow or a prayer, asking the Divine for love, guidance, and support in completion. It’s super fun to do this in community, so invite some soul sisters over for this ritual.

3. Create Space: Creating space allows new energy channels of abundance, love, spirituality and creativity to flow.  When your life is cluttered, your creative energies are blocked as well.

Now that you’ve completed your past emotionally, now you get to complete the past physically. This week I invite you to create space by eliminating energy drains. Tackle your home and let go of any items that no longer serve you. Donate clothes that you haven’t worn in a year to charity. Throw away expired spices and foods from the pantry. Notice if parts of your home bring up overwhelm, avoidance, or claustrophobia. Are there drawers that you refuse to open because of clutter and disorganization? Take action and face what needs to be faced. A whole new world is on the other side of this organization and completion.

4. Design your mission. Now that you’ve emptied your cup, it’s time to create your purpose statement for the year of 2016 from a clear and energized space.  If you could create THE BEST year of your life, what would it look like? How do you want to feel? Who will surround you? What qualities must you take on in order to bring your vision to reality?

Now design a one sentence purpose statement positioned around those values, energies, and desires.  Three years ago my purpose statement was: My purpose is to be a leader and own my feminine power. That statement was the backbone that drove every choice I made which generated a new beginning for myself in my career, relationship, and health. Now it’s your turn. What’s your purpose statement of 2016?

5. Visualize it. Repeat your mantra in meditation every morning, afternoon and night. Journal and reflect upon how your life changes as a result of aligning your everyday choices to your purpose. To bring more attention to your statement, you can also create a collage depicting how you’ll align your purpose statement into the following pillars of your human experience:

  • Romantic life
  • Relationships and family
  • Career
  • Health
  • Femininity
  • Spirituality

That’s it from me. Welcome to 2016, dear one. I’m excited to be on this journey with you.

All my love,
Chrissy

Final Learnings from 2015

fear-to-fire-cover-imagePart II: Chrissy’s Learnings from 2015

You deserve to have what you want in life, no exceptions. When you tell the universe what you want, She can deliver. I had the desire to receive in home massage care every single week. I didn’t let money stop me and I went on a mission to find the woman to support this desire. I asked my yoga teacher who gives the best hands on healing I’ve ever felt in a yoga class, and even though she wasn’t massage certified and said, “No” at first because of this issue, I told her I’d happily pay her under the table because my intuition said she was the “massage therapist” for me. We changed the rules, and for the past two months I’ve had the most relaxing Mondays thanks to her healing hands. It’s easy to make up excuses as to WHY having what we want isn’t possible, but it’s way more empowering to believe the opposite.

Your desires matter. When you ignore them you ignore you femininity, and self abandon in the process.  Weak desires produce weak results. So, what do you reallly want? Do you want to get married and have a family? Do you want to wear comfortable designer heels so you never suffer at a cocktail party again? Do you want to travel to Bali? Do you want a new car? A weekly spa treatment? Want a new place to live? Trust what you want and let that guide you. When you put your focus on your desires they have no choice but to manifest. When you focus on what you don’t want, those thoughts manifest as well, so you might as well stay in the high vibration of focusing on what you want. The best part? When you receive your desires, your whole business begins to function at a higher level because your happiness creates a magnetic field of JOY around your offerings, newsletters, and brand.

Following your desires benefit everyone around you. When you choose to do what YOU want, your happiness and joy will create a ripple effect of healing and inspiration for your friends, family and colleagues. Worried that your desires will upset someone in your life? Concerned about appearing greedy or selfish? Not your problem. Those worries don’t serve anyone, but you being happy serves your community for the better. You know that “massage therapist” I found who is now giving me in home massage care every week? She has loved the quiet time of focusing on my muscles SO much that her entire purpose is beginnings to shift and she’s now brainstorming the ways to get certified. That’s a miracle of me following my desires and not taking her “No, I’m not massage certified” for an answer.

Fear is: False Evidence Appearing Real. Whenever fear sets in in your business or life, notice if there’s real evidence to support the fear. If there isn’t real evidence to prove it, that means your goofy monkey brain is making up a reason to be afraid which is FAR from the truth. This means the exact opposite could be true too! Notice which one feels better: “There aren’t any clients for me” vs. “There are more than enough clients for me.” Trust your heart over your fear.

Find the elements when anxiety sets in. Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind always bring me back into my body and into a calm state. When I’m anxious, I’ll do a number of different things to reconnect to my grounded nature. First, I’ll light a candle and connect with the heat. Next I’ll jog to the ocean, put my feet in the sand and feel the water run beneath my feet. No ocean near by? Garden. Plant a beautiful succulent into a pot, or find a tree and place your hands on it and close your eyes. These actions will help you reconnect with your roots and steadiness away from the fog of anxiety.

That’s it for now, dear ones. I’ll see you on the other side with a new message and new offerings as a life coach for women entrepreneurs. So pumped to share this transformation with you.

Love,
Chrissy
