Good morning everyone. Happy Monday. Happy June. I want to share today on the podcast. I want to share about how I have been navigating my own personal struggles during the time of growing this podcast. And I feel like it's such a powerful message to share that healing is not linear. I moved here, changed my entire life in 2022, moved to Florida from Michigan, believing I'm reinventing my life. I'm going to start up a coaching practice and serve people and help people and do what I love. I love self-development. I love spirituality, all the things, the universal laws. I love manifestation. And I was burned out, truthfully, honestly, in the real estate business. And I moved across the country and changed my life. And what I didn't expect was everything to show up that needed to be cleared, healed, and resolved, and more layers of the onion peeling back, noticing the trauma in my body, noticing the beliefs that needed to be healed and changed and reframed and different things like that. And all of this came from me taking the action to move across the country, change my life. And then I started the podcast. And so why I'm sharing this today is because as I was growing the podcast, as I was showing up every single week with interviews and doing this work, I was also healing. Healing is not linear. The self-discovery journey is not a linear journey, it is an up and down and two steps forward and one step back. And now I'm in the fourth year of living here in Florida, and now I'm actually expanding and receiving and building and planting seeds for what's to come. And it's so powerful and so beautiful and so expansive. And I'm still doing the work though. Every day I still do the work, I do the morning practices, I do the EFT, I do different things to support myself in my self-discovery and growth journey. And I'm in a really powerful place right now. And I wanted to share and speak this truth. I want to talk to you about what's coming next for Linda Brand Coaching. What's coming next is a live workshop on June 9th, next Tuesday, a week from tomorrow, in Sarasota, Florida, where men and women are welcome. It is zero cost to you. And I'm doing this because it's my gift and a beta test. And I want to invite everyone who feels called, who is drawn to my energy, who wants a better life, who wants more abundance in their life, they want more love in their life, they want more joy in their life. And they are invited to this workshop. It is in Sarasota, Florida. And the link to sign up will be in my show notes. This is so powerful. I also have other exciting news that I haven't mentioned yet on the podcast, and that is that I published a journal, not my inspiring memoir. That's still in the works, but it's a journal, it's an intention and gratitude journal to use every single morning and every single evening. And I'm so excited about it. It's not available just yet, it's coming very soon. It is done, it's just I'm waiting for publication and stuff on Amazon. But I'm so proud of myself for that, and it's really fun. I got the proof and I love it, and I use it every single day, so that's super exciting. And honestly, the first three years in Florida have been healing and growing the podcast, and I was healing the whole time along the growing this podcast, and I just thought it's so powerful to share this with you that you don't have to be up here. I'm using my hands and showing that it's you don't have to be, you can take the actions and be growing and healing the whole time, right? So for years I was doing this work, but when I moved across the country, everything that needed to be healed, cleared, and resolved showed up for me. Imposter syndrome showed up for me. Like, who are you to coach women? Who are you to coach? Like, you're not in the, you know, this, that, or the other. But the reality is you can help anyone who's two steps behind you. You can help anyone that's two years behind you. There's always somebody that needs help. So I started the podcast, and this podcast has been so powerful. I have met so many amazing people through the podcast. It's literally been a vessel to receive. I have met people to help me know that I am on the correct path and that I'm doing the right things. And then whatever else I needed showed up through the podcast. So the podcast has been an amazing vessel. And actually, honestly, one of the most powerful things I've ever created is this podcast. And it's been a vessel for connection, growth, healing, visibility, and opportunity. And the people I've met through this has been incredible. It's changed my life. I've met so many amazing souls. So if you have been feeling called to start a podcast, grow your voice, share your story, or create a platform of your own. I have a few spaces open to help you. Private coaching, because I genuinely love helping people bring their voice to this world and show up and shine your light. The podcast has evolved over time. It started out empowered the podcast and then it changed to abandoned to abundant for a little while, which is the book I'm writing. And then now it's worthy and abundant. Everything evolves over time, everything grows, right? When you plant a seed, how long does it take for the flower to come out? It takes time, everything takes time. Patience is one of my spiritual assignments here. One of my tacoon, my soul corrections is to learn patience. And there's a few others that I have, and worthiness is one of them, and that's why we teach what we need, and that's why the podcast is worthy and abundant. And you are worthy, you are worthy of all of your desires, and you are already abundant. When we look around and we appreciate what we currently have, and when we recognize how abundant we actually are, and we show gratitude, that's when God and the universe say, Oh, let's give more to the gratitude, the grateful person, right? The person who appreciates what they have. And so I really want to say that the first three years here growing the podcast, being consistent, all the time, the whole time I was healing, doing the work. And you know, some days were rough, some days were rough, and I would still show up and do my interview and smile and laugh and all the things. And then now, this fourth year, I have healed a lot, and now I am showing up, and I am just teaching and I'm speaking and stages, and I am doing this work that I love, and I'm helping people, and I'm writing journals, and I am publishing journals, and I am doing so much more, and it's powerful. And I wanted to share with you. I wanted to share that it I moved across the country starting a different life, reinventing my life with intention, and a lot of healing has taken place, and then this year, my fourth year in Florida, I am becoming a bigger receiver. My capacity to receive has expanded. What do I mean by that? We are all receivers, we live in an energetic universe, and Kabbalah, the word Kabbalah means to receive, so we're actually receivers like a radio. So, for example, where is the music when the radio is not turned on? Is the music still there? Yes, it's there. When you turn on the radio when you tune in, then there it is. There's music, but if you don't turn the radio on, the music isn't there. And then what about when you change the channel? You get different music, and that's it. It's changing the channel, the channel that you grew up with, the channel of negativity, of fear, of scarcity, of lack, of unworthiness. That's a channel, and we can change that channel to worthiness and abundance and blessings and magic and miracles and synchronicities every single day when you wake up and say, Thank you, God, for a new day. I am blessed to be back here on earth another day to enjoy my life, to love others, to love myself, to expand, to receive, to create. We are creators, we co-create with the universe. God gave us so many skills and talents, and we are worthy of creating and making something that feels good. So putting something into the world, helping people. We are here to serve. I asked this one podcast guest, what are we here for? And she said she thinks we're here to feel, right? Well, that's part of the human experience, feeling. We're emotional, energetic beings, and we do feel we feel pain. That's part of the human experience. How many people have felt pain? I had dinner with a friend last night, a new friend, and she lost her husband four months ago on an from an accident at work, and she's devastated and she's destroyed, and she's beautiful, and she's smart, and she's you know, has has all the things. But the point is she's so unhappy because she lost her best friend of 35 years, her partner in life, her husband, and she is healing, and that's painful. Everyone is navigating something, so I don't mean to digress, but my point is the human experience there is pain, but suffering is a choice. Suffering is a choice, and I believe that God wants his children happy, and I'm not talking about bypassing your feelings. You want to feel your feelings, that's how we heal. We feel, we cry, we release, we emote, and we heal. So feel to heal, but and I'm sharing so much, I'm kind of getting off topic. The point of this episode was to say, I have a live workshop coming up. I am showing up, I am speaking, I am expanding my capacity to receive. I'm traveling, I travel to Miami, I travel to Arizona, I am making plans for my next trip to Europe, and right now I want to share that this podcast has been so powerful. My move to Florida has been so powerful. The whole time I built this podcast, I was healing, growing, evolving alongside the podcast, and that's the message for today is to share with you that you take the actions towards your goals, dreams, and desires. You have the courage to do these things, you take messy action, and you watch what shows up and what happens for you. So I hope this served and supported you. If you would like to start a podcast, you can reach out to me at lindabraincoaching at gmail.com. I have a couple spaces open for private coaching. Also, if you're interested and you're in the Sarasota area on June 9th, Tuesday, please fill out the form and join us at the location in Sarasota. And I would love to see you there.
