Season 2: Episode 2 - The Spiritual Energetics of Success

Hello and welcome back. I want to start today with a question for you. What if success isn't just about how much money you make or how your career went or the titles you hold or the boxes you check?

What if it's not about that?

What if true success lives in your energy?

What if true success is being aligned with your soul?

Today, we are diving into the spiritual energetics of success. What that means, why it matters, and how you can start looking at your life and measuring what success means to you in a way that finally feels good for your soul. So the reason that I wanted to start here is I actually, with this relaunch of the podcast, since I've been doing other things for the past three years, the subtitle of my podcast was Living Intentionally in Common Chaos. And as I decided to relaunch the podcast and revisited what am I really saying now? Because obviously I have grown a lot in the past three years. We're all always growing and shifting. And the tagline that I really felt drawn to go with is the spiritual energetics of success. Because that is what I am trying to share in all the different arms of my work is I really want to allow you to get to a place where you see abundance as success of the soul. So the abundant by design is this intentional living. And so that part is still true, but it is this really understanding and working with your energy and your spirituality that brings it all together.

So I felt like this was a great starting point for us, for us to really like dig back in of how does intentional living and spirituality and then the realities of everyday life, including our finances as abundance brings up that word so much, how does that all tie together? And I think this is just an ongoing life challenge for all of us. on this hamster wheel and we run and run and run but we didn't have an intention on where we're going. We didn't really understand what our values were in driving that running. And so let's revisit that. Let's just start with redefining success. I think this is such a fascinating topic because we're all driven by it. It is natural. It's wired within us to want to do well to want to succeed. And the way that society has taught us to function over most of our lives is this very hustle mentality. And I am all for working hard. Like, yes, you have to grind. I am the mom of two boys, one who just graduated college, one in college. Like, yes, you do actually have to hustle and grind at some point. And the external achievements are important because it is a catalyst. And so it does require a strength and a grit to push through busy times, chaotic times, but it is an old paradigm to live in a heavy energy around that. Because the heavy energy around that is really coming from a lack of awareness. a lack of alignment, a lack of presence. So that is what I really want to invite you to think about, to call in of what do those words mean to you and what does redefining success look like for you? What does it mean to be aligned with your heart and soul?

How can you be more present in your life? Which you know I am a big fan of meditation and breath work and nature walks to create that sense of presence. How can you elevate your energy? How can you elevate your vibration to step into this fulfillment of your heart and soul? Those are really important things to think about.

To journal about and to repeatedly come back and visit because we change over time. So like the example of my boys, it is an alignment for them to hustle right now, right? They're like starting their lives. They're in that early point. And then my husband who's in his mid fifties,

There is a version, a different level of what hustle and external achievements and all those things mean. So I think a fascinating story about this is, the professional women's volleyball player, Gabrielle Reese, she wrote a book and went on a podcast tour. So I heard her talk about this several times that she was an Olympic gold medal winner and that when she won the gold medal, when she was stepping off the stage, her brain was already like, well now what are you gonna do? What's next? And I think it's fascinating that we are all wired that way, that it actually doesn't matter how much success that you go out and hustle and achieve. If you are not connected with your heart, your soul, your spirituality, that self-sabotage voice comes in and gets all of us. And that is why it is so important for us to focus on not the success of the worldview, the world definition. It is our definition, our soul's definition of what is success to us. So how do we do that with like, what does it mean? Spiritual energetics of success, right?

The practical part of that to me, which I know is a little bit funny to some people that I'm going to say this is practical, but it is the law of vibration. is. Everything is energy. Your thoughts are energy. Your emotions are energy. And so you do have this set state that you're waking up in every day that you're operating throughout your day in. And so. You know how some days you feel off and things are hard and that energy switch is a frequency shift. And oftentimes it's warranted, like something caused to that frequency shift. But when we learn how to use the tools in our body, like breath work, like dropping into meditation, or just moving our body intentionally to take care of anxiety and overwhelm and whatever those lower state vibrational situations are that are bringing us down when we know and have practiced how to move that when it happens, but also how to start every day at a higher state. And that's why the morning routine is important. And I know if the kids are little, I wasn't doing morning routines when my kids were little. take that with a grain of salt. You fit it in when you can fit it in.

Either way, what you are doing is that you do what you want to be doing is teaching your nervous system how to create more space. So every single time that you pause in whatever way that means, listening to a meditation, sitting and meditating in silence, even if you don't like the word meditation and you just want to sit in silence and you just want to think or you just want to journal or you decide to spend two minutes doing some nice slow deep breath work like a box breathing technique which is the four count inhale, four count hold, four count exhale, four count hold and just repeat that for two minutes. Those things are training your nervous system to start at a higher frequency state. So the next time you're standing in line at the grocery store and you're judging the person in front of you for whatever reason, right? I can think of a lot of scenarios in a grocery store that might make us crazy. And when you've done these little steps every day to train your nervous system, it isn't really about those moments in the everyday when you're doing your breath work or meditation or journaling. Although sometimes that can feel really rewarding. A lot of times it doesn't. But what you will notice is how different you are in the grocery store, in the irritating scenarios, behind the wheel of your car, when your own kids or your own family are setting you off, you will see that when you have decided to intentionally change your vibration because you started your day or you found that moment in the day to reset your frequency state, you can handle everything in life so much better with so much more of a sense of calm and clarity and love.

When you think about this, from, you know, more of like the practical everyday world things, if you think about it from a career perspective, when we are coming to the real world in scarcity because we're stressed and we're overwhelmed and we're trying to make these things happen, but from a frequency of fear and lack and stress, that is when opportunities feel stuck. That is when doors are closing. But when you have recalibrated yourself and you show up to those same scenarios, but with trust and a sense of worthiness, that is when synchronicities can flow. That is when the clients that you're looking for appear. That is just when it all feels like it starts to click together. And of course, this is also where I love being a sound healer because the experience of sound healing does all of this work for you to an extent. Like, yes, you have to give yourself the gift of showing up, but vibrations in our body are so powerful. And so just listening to a sound bath, even in your earphones, like yes, going to one has that much more of a vibrational effect. Just like when you go to a live concert, that is a whole lot more fun and impactful than when you listen to music at home, but you still listen to music at home because music is its wonderful part of life or you listen to it in the car or wherever you listen to music. And so that is the same with sound bass and just sound healing in general.

You can use so many varieties of vibrational healing, frequency healing to allow yourself to reset that state. So how do you bring this back into the practical world, right?

You can start at any moment in time and just ask yourself, so what energy am I bringing into my definition of success today? So if you're feeling scattered, that's where you want the simple breath work practice. Like another one is a good three part breath, which is just inhale belly, inhale heart, exhale. Or do a short visualization for yourself, right? Just dropping into the present moment, dropping into your body, feeling your spine, feeling your feet on the ground, and allowing yourself to just notice your breath and notice any points in your body that might need to release the stuck energy and let it go and create space for the truth and alignment and the power of your heart and soul. And you bring that into the day. You bring that into the week. You bring that into your big meeting or your family situation or a money check-in that stresses you out. You encourage yourself to set yourself up with these successful moments by staying aligned and calm and present. It's such a gift to be able to do that. I think money stories are a really interesting place to do this because most of us, especially women, are stressed out by money and the responsibilities of it and looking at it. We don't want to look at our bank accounts. If you're running a business, it probably stresses you out when you have to do your books. when you have to pay bills, money very often causes stress. And so one of the things that I always do with my clients, so I'm recommending this to all of you. If that is the case is start checking your bank account every day and do a very simple breathwork practice ahead of time. Actually give your bank account or your business books or whatever it is that you're gonna look at from a money perspective. Give it some love from your heart. As you open it, it doesn't matter what the level is. It doesn't matter if what you're looking at isn't the outward, outward,

It doesn't matter if the numbers that you see are not the level of success that you wanted logically. What you're doing is changing your vibrational state to what it looks like. So you sit there in gratitude and love for exactly where it is and all the abundance that's going to flow in so that then it can also flow out. Right? That is what I teach all of my Money Mindset clients. And that's a great practice, I think literally for everyone, no matter where your bank accounts are, your business books are, just get in a really intentional practice to up level your vibrational state towards money. And that actually results in a ripple effect into other areas of your life as well. It seems maybe a little woo woo, but it's actually so practical. So I invite all of you to do that. So.

With that balance, want to talk about that soul and strategy do actually have to go together. So when I'm saying that true abundance is success of the soul, I am not intending to say that it's about rejecting strategy or kind of what we see as more structure or masculine energy type things. Those are equally important and we need them. It's just that a lot of the world operates in that and does not operate in enough of the feminine flow, which is more of what I'm talking about here. So there's also the problem for a lot of people who are in the spiritual world or just like live more in their feminine energy. Then if you're just like floating in that, that doesn't work either. So true success. It's not about rejecting strategy.

It's not about floating around in ethereal happy thoughts. It is about the integration of both. You absolutely need the planning and the systems. You need money clarity. You need intentional living that is combined with a vision, trusting your intuition, purposefully elevating your vibration and your energy purposefully creating presence in your life. So true abundance is sustainable when both of these sides are honored. And so the way that I see that is really, you know, success without soul feels empty. We all know of stories about celebrities or incredibly wealthy businessmen that hit what we deem to be huge levels of success, financial success. Maybe it looks like life success, but we find out or hear that they are so unhappy. You know, like some big celebrity athletes are coming to mind with that. And you can also think about that in everyday life too, right? Like it doesn't have to be financial success, but if you are caught up in a path that is really draining your heart and soul, that is empty. And so we want to move into this soul aligned path. But again, just following soul alignment without honoring the realities of everyday life, without honoring structure, without honoring the need for systems and intention, well, that's not sustainable and it doesn't get you anywhere. So the spiritual energetics of success is about aligning both. So as we close this episode today, I invite you to reflect on this journal prompt.

If I measured my success today, this week, this month by my energy instead of my achievements, how would that change my choices? I'll repeat that again. If I measured my success today, this week, this month by my energy instead of my achievements, how would that change my choices? Have so much fun with that. I hope it reveals a lot of interesting aha moments for you. I'm going to journal on it as well because even though I talk about and teach these things, I also need to embody it, right? That's the integration, we have to embody it. So I am also going to journal on this this week. I would love to hear.
