What an honor it was to stand in solidarity with millions of women & men world wide this past Saturday!

The Women’s March is said to be the largest peaceful march in the history of the USA.

I marched with my mom, sister & niece – 3 generations – unified in our stance for freedom, peace, health, respect, acceptance and dignity for all.

These are highly charged and emotional times.

It is clear that we are being called to another level of engagement and responsibility to help shape the future we want.

It’s not up to “them”. It’s up to us.

THIS is one of the core reasons I do what I do.

Free women = a free nation. Free women = a loved earth. 

We MUST rise up and command more for ourselves and each other!!

READ ON to discover how to use your fiery passion… and why it’s especially useful in times of hardship and setbacks.

===== 

It’s time to get FEISTY, sister!! 

Unleash that passion.

Get wild for your desire.

Throw caution to the wind.

Set your cause ablaze with fire.

-> You want to manifest abundance?

-> You want to succeed in your treasured visions?

-> You want to help change the planet for the better?

You can do it.

Hell yeah, you can!

But let’s get real about what it’s going to take.

The truth is, the path is NOT going to be all rainbows and unicorns!

So if you’re going to shrivel at the first sign of challenge, you’ve got a looooooong road ahead of you.

Without just the right amount of GUSTO to keep you moving forward, you may fall down so flat that you never get up!

Hey, I get it.

I know it can get messy.

I know what it’s like to be on my belly hugging the earth crying & lost in a complete helpless state of surrender.

I know what it’s like to question if I really am good enough and worthy enough to be happy and share my expertise.

I know what it’s like to feel SO discouraged from the rejection of hearing no from prospects or failing in a launch that I just can’t see the purpose of moving on.

I admit I have days where I just want to curl up in a ball and not have to feel or deal with anything or anyone.

And WOAH!

Add to the already challenging “human university” an election that gives rise to a president who is unpredictable, perpetuates a culture of dishonesty and hate, and creates divide with his sexist, racist ideology…

….and we’re going to feel even MORE vulnerable.

(That statement has nothing to do with his politics. I’m talking about him from a leadership and character standpoint.)

So WHAT’S a gal to do?

==> Get in touch with your fiery passion!

There is something(s) that you are in this game of life for that get you riled up. Stirred up. Juiced up.

Right?

It’s part of what gives you that CHARGE in your purpose.

Like you feel you were made for this.

And on some level, you’d feel incomplete at the end of your life if you hadn’t expressed yourself and contributed in the ways your soul intended.

• What IS that non-negotiable space in you that you’d take a stand for?
• What IS that fire in you that would burn the trail to make way for its expression to be honored?
• What IS that core value that if anybody f*+ks with, your fierce mama bear would come out and ROAR?

If you have a hard time getting in touch with it, an access point is thinking about someone you care deeply about.

If you’re a mom, think of your kid(s).
If you don’t have kids, think of another family member.

Imagine someone violating them or even threatening their life.

OH… You’d be SOOOOO in your warrior!!

You’d tap super powers you didn’t know you had.
You’d feel a strength that would surpass prior limits.

You’d become wonder woman!

I know this may be an extreme example, but it gets you in touch with the kind of fire I’m speaking to.

(NOTE: This is not a fear-based fiery passion. It’s loved-based.)

I source my passion through a very clear alignment with my CORE VALUES and a greater WHY.

Oh, I also get in touch with it through uninhibited dancing.

How about you? How do you connect with your fiery passion?!

FINAL WORDS

There will be setbacks…

There will be unexpected twists, obstacles and dark nights…

There will be times you’ll want to give up…

There will be days you just can’t get stuff done…

There will be elections where your candidate doesn’t win…

There will be months you feel stuck and not progressing on your goals…

Rather than shutting down or allowing defeat, I actually USE times of hardship, frustration and anger to fuel my fiery passion.

I mean, think about it.

There’s nothing like a violation or oppression of what matters to you most to help you stoke your fire.

One of the reasons we react so strongly is that we care so deeply.

What we are frustrated and angry about reveals what we value.

So let those energies be fuel, reinforcing your purpose and sparking your resolve to do what it takes.
