00:00To my honeys that don't feel safe to be their authentic self right now, you need to have one goal at the top of your to-do list.
00:07And that goal needs to be to find your community and the people that are going to allow you to let your light shine.
00:13Like this golden, golden radiant light needs to be seen. It needs to be seen.
00:19So you need to get out and you need to find those people because the world is waiting for that version of you to show up.
00:25We're waiting to feel all of you.
00:27Please, please go find your people so we can see you.
00:31Come with me to host six hours of free coaching sessions at one of my favourite hotels in London.
00:35OK, I woke up and I was a different kind of excited because there's just something special about knowing you can hug every single person after you have a coaching session with me.
00:42I love that. I got to the station. It was 11.11. I was like, it's going to be a good day.
00:47So the hotel that I'm talking about is 100 Shoreditch. I come here to work often.
00:51The vibes are just immaculate. And so I got there.
00:53I headed in and I have my own little set up in the back where I was meeting with, God, I think there was like eight or nine different people to support them on one thing that they were wanting clarity on in their life right now.
01:05And what I want to share with you was that even though everybody came in with a slightly different question and a slightly different scenario, there was one common thread weaving through.
01:14Oh, wait, this was my little set up. Let me talk you through that.
01:16There were Oracle cards that everybody could pull when they left. I had a little Oat Chai when I arrived.
01:20Anyway, back to the thing that I was saying, the one common thread that so many of them were facing was that they were not trusting themselves.
01:28They all came in like, I don't know. I need your help because I don't know.
01:31And at the end of every single session, we got to the point that they all do know there is just fear between them and they're doing.
01:38So a little takeaway lesson for you all. Stop telling yourself that you don't know and start trusting the things that you are feeling are right.
01:44I'm going to need you to stop telling yourself that you don't know because you do know, you do know, you know exactly what you want.
01:55You know exactly who you want to be, where you want to go, what trip you want to book, what job you want to be doing, what kind of partner you want, what you want to wear.
02:03How you want to show up in the world, you do know you're just scared.
02:08You're just terrified. There is just trauma and conditioning and fear living inside of your body that is either masking your truth so you don't consciously see it yet.
02:21Or you do know consciously, but it feels too scary to take action on it.
02:25So it's easier for you to just tell yourself, I don't know.
02:30We've got to stop because the I don't know is stopping you from looking the fear in the face and working with somebody, using different rituals, healing techniques to overcome it.
02:40So let's stop the I don't knows and let's just start with I'm scared.
