Have you ever hired a coach for anything? I don’t know about you, but for me I’ve always resisted the idea of a coach. I’d hire a therapist, trainer, healer, psychic, etc… but when it came to someone with the title “coach”? I would run!
About 16 months ago, I hired a tennis coach. Some of you may remember my blog post from when my coach and I were having difficulty and my Guides let me know how he was not my Source. I love tennis. It’s one of my lifelines these days and the idea of not getting along with my tennis coach was devastating. But, my Guides helped me to understand that Source is my Source (or, if you hear me say it in my Brooklyn accent, Sauce is my Sauce). The interesting thing about the situation is that the Guidance I got gave me the courage to confront my coach and have a heart to heart with him.
It was one of those magical moments where the Universe lined up so that my tennis partner forgot about the appointment and didn’t show up. It was just my coach and I. We had an emotional conversation where I apologized, he “saw” me, and we grew together and he is still coaching me. I was SO relieved afterwards and am grateful our relationship continues to grow. What I learned and admitted to him in that conversation was that I fight being coached.
Ever since I was a little girl, I fought people telling me what to do. I didn’t trust them. I didn’t think that they (coaches) had my best interest at heart and I certainly wasn’t going to allow them to coach my life. Now, my tennis coach and my business coaches changed that for me!
Yes, I now have business coaches and they are amazing! They kick my ass when I need it, they pat me on the back when I deserve it, and they encourage me to dream and believe in bigger and greater things.
Let me tell you…this year has been rough already! Why? Is it the planets that everyone is talking about? Or is it just me? I tend to think it’s me, but would love to blame it on something else. You see, I’m up-leveling. When you expand, grow, up-level, ask for more and demand more in your life…you can experience a ton of struggle or difficulties.
You may know what I’m talking about!
As I look back at my life and think of all the times I made major life changes, I realize it felt hard but that it was so worth every second. I should be used to this pattern. I’m changing. Growing. Not wanting to exist where I have been. Not agreeing to the same life I’ve been living. But it’s so darn hard sometimes to change!
One of my coaches, Todd Herman, said, “Those people that don’t experience struggle are still sitting on their couch with their remote controls in their hand and you are not that person.” He’s right. I want to live passionately. I want to feel inspired and motivate others. I want to change and Guide myself, and you, into magnificence and change. I want to cheer others on and celebrate them as I kick them in their butt when necessary.
I want to be a coach. Aha! What a moment for me! Why wouldn’t I want to be? I’ve been successfully coached this year into brilliant change and growth. I’ve been supported through all these hard times. I’ve been given focus and clarity and reminded of who I really am, not what my thoughts sometimes want to convince me of who I am. So why wouldn’t I want to coach others the way these amazing coaches are Guiding me?
I can tell you that I would have given up long ago with all of my new business ventures and ideas had it not been for business coaching. I definitely would have given up my difficult tennis game had it not been for Chris Crabb. Coaches are the “bomb.”
I share all of this with you for a couple of reasons. The first reason is, I want you to recognize that when you grow and expand, you will experience leveling up pain. If you don’t, that is great for you, but I am in many networking and mastermind groups and no matter what level the person is at, they experience the difficulty I’ve been speaking of. The difference is that they understand that it is part of the process and they welcome it as they get supported on their journeys.
The second thing I want to share with you is that I’m offering coaching now! Well, it’s more than coaching because as you all know, I channel information. So what I am calling it is a Reading with an integration and implementation. Many of you already know how I read and that I give a ton of information in a 30 minute session. Well, now we have added an additional 20 minutes for me to Guide you and give you action-oriented steps to carry out the great wisdom of your Guides. I also added an option of 3 Coaching sessions over a 6 week period where we speak once every other week and I give you homework to do in between and you email me during that time for extra Guidance and counseling.
I believe everyone has a magnificence that is shining deep inside them and that it needs to get out into the world. I believe with my coaching, cheerleading, challenging and channeling that you can live and breathe in that magnificence!
I know some of you already expressed interest and I’m only booking a certain number of these sessions at this introductory rate. If you are interested email us at info@marilynalauria.com.
This year-long program focuses on YOU living your life with purpose. We will deep dive into your soul, your gifts so you can bridge the gap from where you are to where you want to be while living your greatest adventure.
I’m so excited to get this going that I’ve added appointment slots in my calendar, so you can book right away.
I look forward to coaching you into brilliance.
Sending you Light, Love and Clarity,
Marilyn
