If It’s a Soul-Yes (But Fear Has You Backpedaling), Read This
I just invested in a 1:1 coach I’ve never worked with before, and I feel confident and calm
Not because I came into a big lump sum of money (This investment was a scary big one for me)
Not because she walked me through a sales call (There wasn’t a sales call, I didn’t need one)
Not because I downloaded her freebie or binged all her content (I hadn’t at all)
And, like I said- I’ve never experienced what it’s like to be in her field or be coached by her before.
So why did I say yes?
Why did the decision feel so easy?
BECAUSE I TRUST MY SOUL PULLS.
And I’ve built my life around following the guidance of intuition and whispers of my soul — even when seem complexly crazy and illogical.
Trust me — I know what it’s like to doubt
I’m a highly sensitive person with a history of crippling anxiety.
My ego can get just as loud as yours.
Big investments still bring up feelings in my nervous system.
SO, whats the difference?
I’m unwavering in my devotion to living a soul-led life.
I don’t let fear backpedal me into my comfort zone.
I don’t let scarcity convince me to “wait until you have the money.”
And I don’t talk myself out of decisions that — deep down — I know are aligned.
Here’s how I make intuitive investments (without spiraling):
When I feel the soul-pull to work with someone, I follow this process that keeps me grounded and in my power:
1. I go to their website
I explore the different ways to work with them and feel into which one makes my soul ping. I wait for clarity — not force it.
2. I reach out
I let them know what offer I’m drawn to and open the conversation.
3. I get the details
This is also an energetic check-in. I feel their presence. I notice how my body responds. If the “yes” gets stronger, I know I’m on track.
4. I regulate
I give my ego space to speak — but I don’t let it drive.
I ground myself. I reconnect with my truth.
If the leap feels particularly stretchy, I’ll ask the Universe for a sign (like I shared in my recent blog, A Lesson in Self-Trust, Signs, and the Wisdom Within).
5. I anchor into the vision
I tune into the version of me that’s already on the other side of this leap — the one who said yes, rose, and expanded.
That’s who makes the decision.
6. I take the leap — and celebrate the shift that’s already happening
Because the moment you say yes from your soul, the energy moves. The support lines up. The timeline accelerates.
If you want miraculous outcomes…
You have to be willing to take miraculous leaps.
UNREALISTIC SUCCESS DOESN’T COME FROM RATIONAL CHOICES.
It comes from deep alignment and courageous decisions that only you can feel.
If your soul is whispering “leap” — don’t wait.
Not for more proof
Not for the fear to go away
Not until you feel “ready”
That moment may never come, the sign you are ready is the soul- nudge itself.
So whatever’s pulling you…
An investment in yourself
A bold new offer
A vulnerable conversation
A move, a pivot, a shift
Whatever it is — let yourself leap.
Not recklessly
But reverently
From that deep, sacred place inside you that knows.
Trust your soul’s pull
Be bold
Be courageous
Be the leader of your life
You will not regret it
Because the path your soul leads you down?
It always ends in magic you couldn’t have planned for.
With love,
