Life Design With Leah

Are you who you’re meant to be?

(AKA, Are you who you WANT to be)?

Are you living your purpose and your dreams?

This doesn’t mean you would be happy all of the time, but it’s a question of alignment, values, fulfillment, and aliveness.

No? It may be time for a Reinvention.

Reinvention to me is all about creating an identity that serves your dreams - not going after ‘dreams’ that serve your current (limited) identity.

It’s about becoming the owner of your life, once and for all.

It’s about finally becoming the person you were meant to be if life hadn’t “happened” to you.

It’s going from living a melancholic, OK existence to being aligned and lit the *F**k* up.

It’s about CONTINUALLY growing, reinventing and never staying stagnant. Stagnation = Death to the ’spirit’.

You know what also = death? Comfort. The addiction to comfort is where dreams go to die. It is the siren in the water that you feel beckoned to go toward and cling to. Your goal becomes reaching it but its shadow is a chain that binds you to an “ok” life. Clinging to comfort will keep you stuck.

Luckily, we have another need as humans; and that’s to GROW.

To live out our potential.

To see what we’re capable of in this life.

To create / express / learn / fail / show up BIG.

If all of this seems scary AF but is pulling at you, DM me & say “let’s set up a free mini session” so you can begin to see your potential in this world if you don’t already.

Noone is coming to rescue you.

Listen to the inner voice that is pushing you to finally show up for yourself. One decision made listening to that voice can CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

Are you coming?

Let’s GO!

How often would you say you’re in your TRUE authenticity?

When you’re home by yourself?

When you’re with close friends?

When you’re doing your favorite hobby?

Now, where AREN’T you in your authenticity?

Work?

Significant other?

Public?

What is the biggest (specific) thing right now that’s preventing you from being your true self?

Did you think of one?

THIS is one of the many blocks that prevent us from living the lives we are meant to live.

We think it’s out of our control and that living authentically is only for kids.

We have to be adults, suck it up and basically be fake to survive and keep friends.

But the more we tell ourselves this, the more we loose that true JOY & IGNITED essence we had as kids.

The more we shun or compartmentalize this truth inside of us, the more we loose access to our truth.

When we loose our truth, it’s harder to make decisions, we rely more on others, we resort to living a life on auto-pilot because we don’t even know anything that lights us up!

It’s truly a damn inner pandemic.

Don’t listen to the part of your brain that tells you that you NEED to act like someone else to survive, make money, or be loved.

Listening to that fear-brain will be the very thing that kills you. It will slowly eat away at your ‘soul’ until you forget that you had that voice in the first place.

When you feel deeply lost and unfulfilled, this is your ’soul’s’ way of causing enough discomfort so you will come back to your truth.

Will you answer its call or push it further down? DM me to schedule a free mini session and stop wasting away in “someone else’s life”.

You are worth SOO much more. You will see. And your soul will THANK YOU.

In your corner,

⚡️ Do you have 30 seconds? Ask yourself those (3) things right now.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are *GOLDEN* clues on the way to finding your purpose.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once you think of that *thing* you can’t get enough of, don’t disregard it right away if it doesn’t DIRECTLY lead to your purpose.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“I love to read”
(But I don’t want to be a writer)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“I love to decorate / organize my room”
(But I don’t want to be a designer)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“I love all things astronomy”
(But I don’t have what it takes to be an astronomer)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“I love to hike”
(But I want to make money, and that’s not possible while hiking)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The key is to stick with the “I love ___” statement and write down all the reasons you love it. What’s the feeling you get from it? What specifically about it do you love?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The more you accrue these “I Love” statements and “Why’s” the more a picture will start to form. Keep opening yourself to possibilities and make your brain go to WORK for you. DONT let your brain talk you out of writing things because they are “silly”. WRITE IT ALLLLL.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡️ I recommend buying a special journal just for this and taking it around with you to quickly jot things as you become aware of them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your joy and interests are IMPORTANT. Vital really. Take them seriously.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Is your purpose knocking & your ignoring?

STOP IGNORING THE HINTS!

Your purpose will always be either whispering / knocking / or SCREAMING for you to do something.

It just needs you to be open and integrated enough with your True Self to hear it.

The other part is to not disregard it as soon as it gives you a hint!

Feel into each inkling and follow the ones you can right away.

There will be another right around the corner.

The more you TRULY open to it, without trying to control the narrative and just follow your strong “pulls”, the closer you’ll be.

Don’t let your brain talk you out of it. Don’t let your life pass you by.

You are not alone, let me help you! DM me for a free discovery call.

Signs you’re a Stage 5 Clinger to a MEH life:

When you cling to your brain’s excuses….

Sign #1:
When you cling to the idea that:
“I’ve never done it before!”
(So therefore I don’t know how, so therefore I won’t try)

Sign #2:
When you cling to the idea that:
“Other people know what’s best, I should look to them for my answers”
(Therefore never learn to trust yourself and your desires)

Sign #3
When you cling to the idea that:
“It’s less risky to just stay where I am in life and just try to be content”
(What could be more risky than NOT living the one life you have, being the person you’re meant to become, and going after your calling?)

Is this you?! No need to feel bad. The key is to first just become aware of how your fearful-stage-5-clinger-brain will say ANYTHING to keep you safe in the known. To not “go outside of the cave” and really explore life! The question is, do you want to continue to allow your fearful-clinger-brain to be in the drivers seat?

If you’re sick of your brains excuses and KNOW you were meant for more, reach out to me and book a free Discovery call. It is SOOO much easier to become aware of your brains BS with a coach 🙂.

Signs you aren’t living in your purpose aren’t aways dictated by whether you love your job or not.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It can become apparent from your general wellbeing!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How you feel and think day in and out.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Being aligned with yourself and your purpose doesn’t make all of your days magical and happy, but damn do you feel mission driven. Damn do you feel alive. Damn do you feel fulfilled.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you don’t feel this way, and you’d like help finding and living into your purpose DM me to schedule a free discovery call.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your wellbeing and fulfillment is of the UTMOST importance. Don’t accept the status quo of drifting through life in a melancholic haze.

Don’t know what your purpose is in this world?

I believe the FIRST part of your purpose is to become your most authentic, fully expressed self.

It’s only through doing that, that you’ll shed away what your family wanted from you, what your friends thought was cool, what society says is respectable, and what your internal judgments deemed to be not good enough, that we get to the juicy stuff.

You’ll start to become free to explore your deepest truths (now, no longer shrouded by a dark cloud of nay-sayers and doubt).

You discover what makes you truly light up like nothing else.

You start accepting and loving the f**k out of yourself and your new passions.

Which provides the breeding ground for the SECOND part of your purpose, which is to help others in a way that ignites your essence even more. That brings out your unique gifts and has you *shining* in this world.

Without uncovering who you truly are, separate from socialization, you will most likely grab random jobs that either you just find ‘interesting’ at the time and is usually short-lived or go after ‘the money’ that you hope will eventually pay off in happiness in the long wrong. Both are extremely risky to your overall well-being.

When we don’t answer our call, we psychically suffer - PERIOD.

We know we are meant for more, yet, we deny ourselves from it and call it “being realistic”.

But Realists are just Dreamers that have gotten their hearts broken.

They have accepted the reality that people around them said was the ‘way it was’.

—> Being a dreamer in this world is actually an act of rebellion and courage. It can feel sometimes like swimming upstream though.

But the true YOU is at the top of that stream. Your purpose. What can be more worth swimming for?

If you’d like help becoming/owning your true self to find your purpose, DM me!

I will be offering a *SUPER* delicious, never-been done, single session for the first 10 people here soon.

So JUMP on ITTTT and let’s get the magic started.

Are you looking outside of yourself for answers?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“OoOh I love that shirt!”
—> (Secret thought: ‘But will people think it’s attention seeking?’)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-or-
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“I need to find a career that’s authentically aligned“
—> (Secret thought: ‘Somebody out there, please tell me my purpose, I don’t know what to do!’)

And it goes on and on… from what to eat to whom we marry and when to divorce.

You believe everyone else knows better. Everyone is the expert (except you of course).

This, my BEAUTIFUL FRIEND, comes from a deep distrust within yourself. This distrust is strengthened every time we “pool” others before truly sitting with ourselves first for the answers.

Your essential self requires self-trust to be able to express itself.

And without knowing who you TRULY are, loving the F**K out of yourself, and trusting your decisions = AKA being aligned with your essential self, you will then inherently not be aligned with your purpose.

No wonder why so few of us have found it!

You will bounce from career to career, constantly looking for others to guide you on what to do next.

This is a painful and confusing process.

One of the most powerful things you can do in the search for your purpose is to, therefore, start trusting yourself.

There are multiple layers to this, and it isn’t always easy, but start small:
—>Next time you’re at dinner, choose your own food (AND have your own back if turns out s**t).
—>Next time it’s your turn to pick a movie, DO SO (and actually listen to what you’re craving).

We can start with little decisions and work our way up to the big ones, but the key is just to START making decisions (and ALWAYS having your own back afterward). This is the breading ground for self-trust.

The more decisions you make, the more self-trust you’ll develop.

This is not a nice to have, this is a MUST have if you’re wanting to express the fullest version of yourself and finally find your purpose.

DM me for a free discovery session if you want help unblocking. You aren’t alone!

Raise your 🤚 if this resonates! I know it did for me…
-LD

I wasted so much time spinning on what I wanted to do with my life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had a bunch of vague interests and big (yet vague) dreams.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These vague dreams were big enough to cause this constant push/pulling within me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First came the random bouts of inspiration, possibilities, and excitement toward this vague idea. I could dwell for hours here. Quite addicting actually, playing in this safe land of potential.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But then the fears crept in right afterward. The fear of NOT meeting my potential. The fear of never going after my dreams. The thoughts that caused this fear came in many different forms;
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“That will take too much time”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“That’s too impractical”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“You’re not the type of person to pull that off”. You’re “too shy”, “not smart” or “knowledgeable enough”, etc…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“What will they think?”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wanted to spend my time going TOWARD something, but WHAT?! I didn’t want to ‘waste’ my time going down the wrong route after all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I believe there needs to be a balance in awareness of things you’d want to do and taking action toward that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We feel like we are being smart by not taking action “before we know”, but this is one of those hidden thoughts that can keep us stuck for years! Imagine if you took a step in the *wrong* direction, all of the things you would learn and move forward with rather than still having that interest playing in your mind, stuck at square 0.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you aren’t failing, you aren’t growing. You aren’t etching away getting closer to your calling/purpose.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I invite you to take just a small action today toward one of your ‘inklings’. Start moving in ONE direction, and start learning. Just make sure to check back in to make sure you’re on the right path.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This process can be overwhelming and it’s SO easy to get stuck in confusion. Believe me. I was there for YEARS. If you’d like help exploring what your purpose is and navigating all of the limiting beliefs that are sure to come up, reach out and schedule a free discovery call with me. Don’t spend years in square 0 like I did!
