Mastering Change: The Journey of Business and Self-Discovery with Molly Claire

 Exciting episode and update because if you haven’t heard yet, one of my biggest manifestations of all time that I’ve been holding for what feels like the longest time ever is coming to life right now as we speak. Me and my husband and Millie, my little doggy are moving to Maui. It is official. We are moving there full-time.

So we have been living there sort of part-time. Right. We’ve had our condo for the past couple years, almost three years now, and we. Have loved going back and forth. Every time I go there, I don’t wanna come back. And so now we are officially selling our home in la selling our condo in Maui and moving into a full-time home in Maui.

So I’m. So excited to share this journey with you today on this episode, and I’m gonna tell you a little bit more about how this dream started and how I have manifested it. All right? Because it’s a true manifestation. So Maui feels like. One of those places that is just part of my soul curriculum. I swear.

It’s just one of those places where I remember the first time that I ever went there, I was 11 years old. My dad brought me and my sisters there, and I remember just feeling like I was at home. And it was so weird because we went to other islands and I really enjoyed them. I really enjoyed the other islands, but there was something about Maui that I was absolutely in love with that felt so.

Me. And so like I said, the feeling was just at home and I remember going snorkeling there and just thinking, this is the best day of my entire life when I was like 11 years old. Now did I know I was gonna move there? Not so sure. I just remember being in. Love with it. And then we had so much fun that I remember, um, we went back with my dad when he got remarried.

He got remarried in Maui and so he brought us back and I just absolutely loved it. Like I just knew it was one of my places, you know, or not one of my places, it was my place, but this was when I was like 11, 12, 13, right? Like, um, in my preteen years and. It was a long time until I went back because. It, it wasn’t a place that I wanted to move to right away.

I remember when I was in high school and in college, like I was dreaming of living in a big city. ’cause I am from the Midwest. I’m from St. Louis, which is, you know, it’s a city. But I lived about an hour away from the city and I wanted to have an experience of a big. City. So that’s why initially the, my first manifestation was I wanted to move to New York City, but things did not work out right, no matter how hard I tried to make that happen and how hard I tried to force it to happen.

know what, Molly, I’m manifesting that we’re gonna do another episode in my studio that I’m calling in in Maui, and you gotta come visit and we’re gonna do an episode together there. So

I’m

percent a vision for our future. I see it. I love it so much. So I just love Molly y’all. Molly is someone that I’ve known for several years now, in fact.

She is a masterful coach and she is one of the instructors. When I went through a master coach training, you were one of my instructors, and you are just amazing. I. Love your authenticity. I think you are an incredible coach, and I’m just so excited to dive into today’s conversation so we could talk about all things business strengthening our coaching, the transitions in the coaching industry and in business, and how we navigate all that goodness.

So I’m curious just to set kind of the foundation, I am curious about you and how you got started on this coaching and business journey. Like is it something you’ve always known you wanted to do, or what was it that ignited this for you?

Mm-hmm. So I would say yes. I always knew I wanted to do it and I didn’t know what it was. So it’s kind of like I have always, I. I have always loved the world of understanding emotions and self-development and improvement and that that’s just kind of always been a part of, of who I am. And I think for most of us that end up here, it’s not like it’s a surprise.

Right. I. And, and I also always had that entrepreneurial spirit. So as a kid, I, I started businesses when I was, I mean, in elementary school and was taking flyers around and, and all of that. So, so that has always been in me. And as far as specifically coaching and this journey, it was one of those things that it, it came into my life at exactly the wrong and exactly the right time, right where I was at a place where.

I was struggling with my help, you know, had been struggling in my marriage for a long time, was, you know, pretty weighed down with little kids and not feeling well and all of this, and it was at a really difficult time in my life and I happened to have this amazing coaching session with someone who was getting their hours in and it, it happened to be this moment where.

This approach, this coaching was so impactful for me that it was one of those light bulb moments. Like, this is what I meant to do, this is what I want to do. Um, and, and kind of, you know, the, the quick moving forward of that is I started looking into it. I started diving into building the business way faster than I thought.

Given everything going on, and it ended up being really fantastic timing. I ended up, um. Becoming a single mom and needing to really take greater ownership of my finances as I was, you know, raising my kids and, and all of that. And, and there was born my coaching business. Like nothing, like just going for it, right?

Wow. That’s amazing. And I think this is, uh, something I, I would love to dive into because Wow, to go through a time of change like that. And then also, like you said, you, it’s like suddenly wanting to make some income doing this and building your business at the same time. I think for a lot of people they feel pressure doing that.

I’m curious, how did you do that? What was the energy you did it

Mm-hmm. So, you know when. When I started my business, I mean, first of all, I just fell in love with coaching and, and fell in love with the work and, and I just, um, there’s something so powerful as you know about using the gifts that we’ve been given and, and following. What we’re being called to, to help others and to do something that’s meaningful that has like a healing positive energy about it.

Right? And so, so as far as that piece, I fell in love with the coaching and I started to really come to life as I was connecting with that part of me. Well then the business part, because I think of them as a little bit different, right? There’s like the. Uh, they’re, they’re related, but they’re, but they’re also different.

It’s like, okay, building a business with the focus of how do I learn a business and make money? Right? And then, and then this piece about, about the work that we love, that we feel called to do. Um, so I, I fell in love with that part of it. And then in answer to your question about the energy in, in this situation, this is what I would say.

I, as I said, I was at a point in time where I, I was struggling with my health. It, it was, it was getting better, but it was, it was challenging. And I had three little kids, which is right. There’s that, and then going through a divorce and, and really, I mean, I’m not gonna lie, Jamie, like I remember feeling more fear than I had ever felt in my life at that point in time, for sure.

And. The thing about it was I knew 100% that I was committed to making life great for myself. For my kids. So it really a, a huge part of the, the energy that really led it and solidified my journey was, I’m gonna make a great life. I’m gonna provide well for them. I’m gonna be with my kids and I’m going to give them the life I always wanted as a kid, and I’m going to give myself the life.

I wish my mom would’ve had because I had seen her struggle. So, so that was really what led me forward. What, what anchored me. Yeah.

Yeah, that’s a huge, and the reason I wanted to ask that is because I think when a lot of people get into the situations like that, their thought is, I need to make money. Oh no. I need to make it happen. And there’s a lot of pressure there and it doesn’t work, right. That’s when like our creativity cannot come through.

It does not motivate us when we’re under a ton of. Pressure like that, but when you have a strong why and a strong power of intention that will move you. And so it’s such a beautiful example of holding so much at once, holding a, you know. Going through a breakup, going through the health stuff, becoming a single mom, and having this strong intention behind the business that allows you to move forward with it.

And I think that’s so beautiful and um, an incredible thing to think about for people who feel like there’s a lot going on. I think thinking about your why and what’s the energy that you wanna create from makes all the difference.

I mean, absolutely. Because you know, the thing is, I would be lying if I said I didn’t also feel elements of pressure and worry and stress. Right. And, and, but to your point, I. Those, those energies are not really helpful for us. And so the reason I say this is I know that people listening, I, I guess sometimes I know I’ve fallen into this thinking it’s this all or nothing, right?

Like I’m either in a, a great energy or I’m in a bad energy and, and it’s almost like when we get in this mode of wanting to manifest and create the right energy and build in that way, we can almost either. Fear, sort of the the negative emotions or we can place a lot of blame on ourselves anytime we’re thinking or feeling anything other than positivity, right?

Yep.

And so, but you know, just like you were just saying, when, like anyone listening here, if, if you’re moving towards something right, you’re obviously listening to Jamie because you wanna build your business, you wanna manifest. And I truly believe that having that strong why and continuing to anchor yourself there means that yes, the pressures and the doubts and whatever will come up.

But when you anchor yourself again, they can release a little, they can dissipate, and at least they’re not, they’re not driving. Right. They’re not in the driver’s seat. They’re just something that comes in and out, but not something we need to fear.

Yes. That is so beautifully said. A hundred percent. Not something to fear or resist. And now this is making so much sense why one of your geniuses and your gifts is helping people. Create lasting change, right? Is because one of your, your gifts is, it’s teaching people the four fundamentals of lasting change and I’m now seeing it how much change you went through all at once there.

And I’m sure there’s been many evolutions since then. So it makes sense that you have this formula for how to create lasting change. So I know I have a lot of listeners that, and this is something I felt through the years too, where I felt like there are so many things in my life that are going well, but there’s this one area that I’m stuck on, or I keep having this same pattern happening again and again and again, and I feel like I’ve worked on it and I’ve worked on it, and I’ve worked on it, right?

Or for some people it’s like, I’ve had this thing on my vision board for five years and nothing feels like it’s happening. I feel totally. Duck. I would love to get some insight from you around these fundamentals of how one could potentially have a breakthrough of a pattern that’s been sticky or something that they’re really wanting to change and putting a lot of energy and intention into, but just feel like they can’t.

Could you guide us through some of the things that you offer within that?

Yeah. So first what I’ll say is I’ll, I’ll just break down quickly what these four fundamentals are. So one is mind mastery. So this is when we’re talking about our thoughts, our beliefs, right? The power of intention in our mind. Um, so that’s number one. Number two is emotions and really being with and understanding.

Our own emotional world that we each experience because while thoughts can create emotions, not all emotions are created by thoughts. And so there, there is, there are specific ways we need to attend to our feelings, even separate from the thoughts. Okay. So I’m trying to like, stop me if, if I’m, you know, going off the rails with any of this, but hopefully

this is, I love it. I wanna dive into it. Yeah.

Okay. Okay, so mind mastery, then we’ve got that emotional piece, that emotional, um, attunement and resilience. Then the third piece is understanding your nervous system and nervous system regulation, right? Because the nervous system is the backdrop of our thoughts and our emotions, and, and it plays a huge part biologically in why we don’t stay.

Consistent with change. So the nervous system is third, and then the fourth component is action strategies. The type of action plans that are actually going to work and, and an action plan that’s going to work understands the power of the mind, the role of emotions, and the nervous system as well. So those are the, those are the four fundamentals.

And then I can, I can speak more to your question, but I don’t know if you have any questions on that before I keep,

No. Well, actually, one question I have is, is there an order to working on those? Would you say there tends to be an order or is it more of like what you would sense the area? Maybe you probably need to dive into.

great. Great question. I would say there is not an order, there is not a set order. And you know, for me, when I am, when I’m working with a client, of course, I, I’m adapting to the human being in front of me as I’m coaching them. And in terms of my coaches who I’m training to be master coaches and use this, you know, approach.

We, we break each of these down, but we’re, but we’re understanding. How to truly, like when my coaches get these fundamentals down and they’re working with it, what this often looks like is starting with one entry point, right? Maybe they are, they are going with the thoughts coming up for their client, but then they can easily shift through back and forth whatever the client is needing.

So that was a sort of long answer, but there is not an order. But I can, I can speak to your audience in terms of this and help them maybe identify. Where would be a good place for them to go?

Absolutely. I think that would be fantastic because I think, well, I’ve heard a lot of people just feel stuck on, I’ve been trying to manifest this. I’ve been visualizing it, I’ve been doing, you know, the, the mindset work around it, or I’ve been taking action towards it and it’s just not happening.

So I’m curious where you see the sticky part is for most people that are stuck in a pattern,

so let’s talk about one pattern right off the bat, which is someone who is, um, trying to use their mind and intentional thinking in order to create something, right? So. Per, we’ll call this person A is, is wanting to build their business to a certain level, and they’re using intention, they’re moving themselves into belief, whatever that looks like for them.

Right. And, and as they are working on their business on any given day, this actually relates back to what we were saying. They, they start feeling a little bit of stress, a little bit of worry. And, and so they start feeling a bit more activated, and then they start to panic, and then they think, I’m not gonna think that way.

Right? They’re, they’re trying to shut down and suppress those emotions and those thoughts. They’re trying to use the power of their mind to actually bypass their negative emotions and, right. And so this is where you, you know, they get in this place of like, they’re trying, trying, trying so hard with their mind, and they’re like, why isn’t it working?

Well, the reason why. It’s because you’re not allowing space for those emotions. To come up and be heard, which we can, you know, talk more about, there are messages in the emotions and it could also be that, that they’re not, that, that by pushing those emotions down, by pushing those thoughts down, they’re creating more activation of their nervous system.

So this is where they’re moving in this stress response, right, which makes sense. Or like I’ve been trying and I’m trying and it’s not working well, that’s because you can use your mind. But if you’re using your mind to try to shut down your spirit, to try to shut down your emotions. Then your bo, your nervous system is going to freak out, and then you are not in a space of allowing or creating.

So that’s like one example of a way people can get stuck when they’re not understanding the bigger picture of, of what the whole human being that is them needs.

Ooh. Yeah. Yeah. I would love to ask you a little bit more about that. For someone who says, I just, I, I sense that’s the place that I’m in. I’ve been doing my mantras and it’s just not working, or I can’t feel it in my body. There’s resistance coming up. There’s frustration. Do you have any guidance on how to start working with the emotions?

so I think that. You know, if anyone knows anything about parts work, I know this is a, a therapy approach, but truly this is something that we can all easily use and I use this all the time, so, so let’s imagine that you are there, you’ve been doing the mantras, you’ve been saying the things I. You’re just getting stuck and you’re having these emotions coming up.

I think one of the best things you can do, and if you, I know, I don’t know if this is, if people can see me, is your, is your podcast on video? Are we on video right now? Okay. Good to know. Right? So I know some of you’re just listening. But you know, for me, what I always do, I just put my hands right here on my chest, on my heart, and just take a minute to ask yourself, with your eyes closed, what’s going on for you?

What’s going on for me? And giving yourself a minute to just notice. Whatever emotion is there that is, is trying to emerge, and this is a practice. This might seem weird to some people, but most likely your audience, this won’t seem weird because they’re, you know, more in tune with themselves and really taking the time to ask and to have this conversation with that part of yourself that is scared or that has something to say.

There’s a lot of power in that because from a nervous system perspective, the minute we stop trying to push down our emotions and think our way out of them and we attend to them, the nervous system is going to calm down. So there’s that.

Yeah.

also if we think about, if I’m asking myself right, oh, this to this part of me, maybe like, what’s going on?

And then I notice there’s a fear there. Asking a question just like you would if you were caring for a little child, right? Like, like what, what is it that you’re afraid of? What are you scared about? What might happen? And, and I think truly asking those questions, it, it’s, it is exactly like. Anyone that’s ever seen a child that wants their parents’ attention, the more the parent says, just a minute.

Just a minute. Just a minute. And ignores them the louder the child gets. And the same is true, right? So just in go and in attending to that emotion, that part of you and asking those questions, not only will you get some good information about what these fears are underneath. It calms and quiets, and softens.

That part of you inside that is screaming because a part of you is scared.

Yes, yes. Ooh, I would love to get your thoughts on. What you believe about allowing emotions and going there and letting yourself feel them, because I think the fear a lot of people have is I’m gonna get stuck in that. I’m not gonna be able to move past it. It’s gonna bring me into more negativity, more resistance, more stuckness, and so they just don’t even wanna go there.

So I’d love to hear your thoughts about ’em and experience of what’s shifted, what’s happened as you’ve allowed yourself to actually feel what’s present.

Yeah. Yeah. So you’ll have to remind me of that second question ’cause I’m probably gonna forget as I start talking, but as far as what has allowed, what it has allowed me, because what is it has allowed me is like beyond what I can say in words. Um. But yes, so especially because everyone listening to this podcast is aware of how our thoughts and energy emotions impact us, right?

But there is a huge difference between a mental and emotional spiral where we are, where we are believing the emotions. As fact and truth about what is possible, right? It’s kind of like, okay, if I’m feeling doubt and worry, well this is just what it is and now I am spiraling in, it’s always going to be this way, and I’m overwhelmed and going to a place of, of feeling at the mercy of those emotions, which is typically not helpful, although we all do it and it’s okay.

We also don’t need to panic about it

Yeah.

versus. What I’m talking about, which is an intentional attention to attuning, to, hey, what is this emotion here and what is this part of me needing? Where where there is a connection and conversation with that emotion where you’re almost partnering with that emotion.

I, if that makes sense, and, and tell me if it doesn’t, because I’m happy to articulate that a little more clearly.

that is so good, and you’re so masterful at teaching this and articulating it in a way that I think is just easier to understand for people. Right. Where the way that I’m hearing it is, it is sort of like, like we call, sometimes it’s like inner child work, right? Where it’s. The difference between if there’s a toddler who’s freaking out and crying, it’s soothing them.

It’s willing to hear them. It’s willing to be with them versus believing everything that they’re saying, right? It’s like we understand there’s fear there, but we’re not believing everything that they’re scared of. But we’re there to comfort them and hold them and be with them through the peer fear and acknowledge that there is.

Fear there. And it sounds like that’s the practice with your own emotions. Would you say that’s accurate?

Because if you think about it, so if, if I have a, if there’s a toddler here and they’re freaking out and I say, calm down, settle down. It’s not that bad. Well, that’s not gonna help them, right? That they’re just going to get more activated and more agitated and they’re not thinking rationally.

Yeah.

Whereas if I can take a minute and I can ask some questions and I can understand the feelings, and I can be there with the child to process it. They’re, they are going to come to a place of thinking more clearly and rationally, so you can kind of think about it in the same way, because if we’re attuning to that part of us, that emotion within us and being with ourselves with that emotion in the same way, it allows the thoughts and emotions to move through and to settle.

Which brings us that same clarity, brings us to a rational way of thinking when those emotional needs have been heard.

Yeah. Wow.

Yeah, so I, I think that I, I really do think when we’re in this space of wanting to create and manifest and we’re aware of the power of our thoughts and energy, we can be kind of freaked out about allowing negative thoughts and emotions in, but in truth, honestly, truly, if you are pushing them away and shoving them down, you are not allowing.

All the whole parts of you to be present, which is what you need to expand and grow. So we’ve, we’ve gotta be okay with it. We don’t need to be afraid of them. We just need to bring perspective to the thoughts and feelings, no matter what they are.

Yes. Oh my gosh, I love this. And I think one of the biggest misconceptions when it comes to manifestation is I can never feel low vibe, emotions, or have to be high vibe all the time. And I think that very thought creates so much resistance for me. That thought just doesn’t work. And I learned it firsthand from experience.

When experience. Several years ago I went through a depression, and every time I was down, I was like, oh my gosh, I have to get on YouTube and listen to my, you know, um. Hicks and get into a higher vibe, but then I was creating more resistance. I wasn’t feeling what was there and I actually. I don’t know like how I got inspired to do this, but eventually I started working with a therapist then because I was like not moving through it, and that’s when I actually had started doing parts work and that was so transformational for me once I started feeling and I was able to actually move through that whole thing.

Once I started processing emotions and learned how to actually feel and that you can manifest all the things and have all the feels.

Yes. Well, and I wanna offer something up about, uh, high vibration and low vibration. So emotions like grief, for example, are big and deep and they are hard to feel right. Grief. Sadness, loss. These are some of the emotions. The reason I bring these up is because, uh, very often when, when in the business building process as we are moving toward goals.

People have a lot of grief. We have a lot of grief that is stuck within that. And so what I find in working with our clients in building their business is that some of these things that come up that that feel challenging when we actually attend to the feeling there is a feeling like sadness or a grief there.

Okay? And the reason I bring this up is because grief or sadness, for example, not necessarily a low vibration. The low vibration comes in when we are resisting, when we’re pushing against it. And so for anyone that is, is feeling any fear about low vibration, sometimes this can be a new way of thinking about it, that if we wanna allow the continued flow of high vibration emotions, then, then what?

If we could allow. The, the emotions that don’t feel so good and that maybe aren’t considered positive, because then what we’re doing is, is we’re, we’re really moving the resistance out of the way, and it’s the resisting of the, the big hard feelings. That is the lowest vibration.

Oh yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

good. How would you describe frustration?

Uh, in terms of, I mean, here’s what I would say about frustration. Here’s what I would say about it. How about that? I think anytime we have frustration, we need to just give a little bit of attention to it. And this can look like going for a walk. Talking to yourself if you want. Right? I’m really frustrated about this.

This can look like tapping, tapping on the points. I’m really frustrated. I’m really angry. This can look like journaling. Get it out. Allow it to be there and allow it to be there. And, and with the intention of allowing that frustration, a space to come out and knowing there’s something underneath it, you can learn from it.

Like it’s not the enemy. When we can find out what the frustration is about, ooh, that’s when we unlock the key to what we’re really needing and what it is we’re needing to, to move past that point of friction.

Totally. I love that. That’s so good. And I wanted to ask me, ’cause I know that’s a common feeling in business or when you’ve been, you know, trying to make a change for a while and it feels there’s some stuckness there. So, um, that is such a

And.

insight and practice for everyone. So thank you

Yes, and you know it’s Friday right now while we’re talking and Tuesday of this week. I was crying and tapping with anger and frustrations just a few days ago, and that’s why I feel open and the way that I do today because it’s not a big deal. Now let me be clear, it feels like a big deal right on.

does. In the middle, right?

And I’m like, you know, I was tapping and I’m like, I’m just going to give up on life.

And like that’s what was going on for me emotionally and, and I’ve learned by now that we can allow those moments to be, and we just, when we don’t fight them and we allow them to move through every single time, I go through my most challenging wave of emotions, and I allow that space, what comes afterward is greater confidence, greater strength, and greater wisdom every single time.

I totally agree with you. I feel the same way, and impermanence is such good news. That’s one of my favorite mantras because when we’re in it, it feels like it’s gonna be forever, and it feels so heavy sometimes. But I’m always reminding myself impermanence, and it is waves. It really is when you let yourself feel it.

There’s oftentimes a breakthrough or. Like you said, greater clarity, greater confidence, some kind of gift on the other side of it. So as you’ve done this emotional work, that was the other question I had, what have you noticed has changed in your life?

Oh my gosh. I just, you know, I, I really, I went through some really big challenges in my life over the last 10 years as I’ve been, um, like building and expanding my business and helping others, and it’s kind of like, um. You know, here’s what I’ll say. I know many of the people listening, I know many of you listening can relate to this. Sometimes we can do a really great job of holding things together. I. Building the business, making the money, taking care of the kids, doing the thing, even in the midst of our biggest challenges. And that’s what I experienced over this last decade.

I had, I had some experiences come into my life that truly, absolutely rocked me to my core in terms of, um, uh. Knowing who I am, knowing my worth, knowing my value, and, and truly my, the core of my wellbeing was really rocked within all of this. And I’m so grateful for this because this is really what. What opened all of this to me, these four fundamentals of change, because prior to that I was primarily doing mindset work and, and really powerful coaching.

That was honestly fantastic, and by going through what I have and, and learning to understand myself emotionally to attend to those needs and, and to understand the bigger picture, what it’s meant for me is that. I know that I can trust myself to take care of my needs and have my own back no matter what.

It means that I am able to make decisions, um, and, and when, when life doesn’t go the way I think it will. I. I don’t question myself. I don’t question my value. I don’t question my intuition. I just know that this wasn’t what I was expecting, but it’s not a reason to question myself and I can keep going.

And so, you know, overall, I would say my level of self-connection, self-trust, and resilience is so much stronger. My solid sense of wellbeing. Is is really more powerful than I ever imagined, and I’ve noticed there can be moments in life when everything around me seems to be blowing up and I know I’m gonna be okay.

And that’s a pretty big deal like that. That’s the greatest gift I, that I’ve personally gained out out of this.

Oh my gosh. That is massive and it is just. It’s so true that sometimes when we go through a dark night of the soul, or for anyone who’s really in it right now, there’s an equal and opposite gift on the other side of it. Right? And there’s actually something that is equally positive On the other side of it, there’s gifts in that.

There’s characteristics. That get built. And is it easy going through it? No. Would we wish it on anyone? Absolutely not. But look at what it’s created for you and the ripple effect that that’s having on the world as you teach these to other coaches and help them implement this and become masterful coaches.

So thank you

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s really, I mean, it’s an honor, right, to be able to, because I, I see my, I see my coaches and I, that’s the through thread that I see in my clients is. For the first time maybe ever in their life. They know who they are. They know what they want, they believe they’re capable. They don’t question themselves or their decisions, and that’s pretty powerful.

It’s, it’s just awesome to see the ripple effect.

Wow.

Yeah.

So I’m wondering that we have a lot of coaches who are listening. If there was one thing, and maybe this is a tough question to answer, but, or if there’s a thing, a piece of advice that you would give to coaches to strengthen their coaching.

To strengthen their coaching. Yeah,

What would that be?

so if you’re a coach and you wanna strengthen your coaching, the answer is actually what I just said, and that is

you. You are going to have certain gifts and abilities as a coach, and the way that you will be able to best utilize those gifts and unlock those gifts is by knowing who you are. Take the time every single day to pay attention to what’s going on inside of you. Pay attention to your needs. Pay attention to the things you want.

Pay attention to the things that matter to you. Prioritize knowing yourself and building a relationship with yourself because when you do, it’s strengthens your sense of self. Which allows your gifts and your abilities and your intuitiveness to naturally come about in your coaching. So yes, like I teach my clients certain skills and, and, and that’s fantastic.

And the, the, the magic that that comes about in my clients that I cannot give them is already in them. And, and that’s, that’s how we bring it out.

That’s beautiful. Yeah. So anything you’re going through is a gift because if you work through it, right, that’s gonna be a gift to the world and yeah. That’s, that’s amazing. So, Molly, I know people are for sure gonna be interested in working with you and also probably I, I’d love to have you talk a little bit about your Master Coach certification as well, because we do have a lot of coaches who I know either.

Want to strengthen their coaching or they’re hearing this and thinking, Ooh, I’d like this. Right. I would love to deepen my skills. Um, can you talk a little bit about that program and then some other things that you do so

Yeah. Yeah, definitely. So, um, yeah, master coach training. It’s a, a year long mentorship and certification where it’s, it’s a very high touch, personalized program. So during the year I’m teach I’m working with my coaches in that group. Every single week. Every week. Not only do you learn different niche work, so there’s relationship work.

Motherhood, family life, productivity. They learn about the nervous system, grief, parent. I mean, it is like, it, it’s like all of the niches. And then also learning these four fundamentals. Um, so it’s, it’s a very high touch, very in-depth program that truly does lead with. For, you know, anyone listening, if you’re a coach, I’m gonna be supporting you in applying all of this to you first, right?

And then, and then comes the ripple effect. Um, so it’s a fantastic program. I have some experts that come in to teach as well, like Leah Davidson on the nervous system, Christa St. Germaine, who, you know, teaches on grief. And, um, and then we also have tapping mastery in there with, with Melanie Faye. So,

a lot of my listeners know Melanie

oh.

she has tapping in the money manifestation movement. We have a whole curriculum with her on money tapping. She’s fantastic.

tell you Melanie Faye is a gift to the world. She is. She is so gifted, so she teaches a five part masterclass in my master coach training as well. So it really is, it’s very comprehensive and it’s a very personalized. Program. You know, I think a lot of times we can take a training or a certification and it’s like, okay, you get the modules and you get the workbook.

No, this is where like, let’s spend a year together and let’s mentor you as a human being and, and mentor you as a coach. So that’s, that’s master coach training. And anyone that’s in interested, you could just go to molly claire.com, click on master coach training and, and apply. And, um, it’s just, I mean, that program is my heart and soul.

It’s just the best. Yeah.

a hundred percent. Oh my gosh. Where do you start? Cohorts or,

Yes, and so, so the next. The next curic like official curriculum doesn’t begin until January of next year, but we are actually en enroll doing early enrollment right now because when people enroll early, even if you pick a payment plan, you start getting coach training and you can start getting support early.

So you basically can start getting, okay, you can get coaching and business mentorship immediately and then start your core program in January, which is

Oh, amazing. So worth it to enroll early. Yeah.

Uh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah.

And we’re gonna link all of this up for sure. We’ll link all of everything of Molly’s up. Molly, you are amazing. Thank you

Thank you.

being

Thank you.

I loved this conversation so much and I appreciate you.

So good to be here with you. Thank you. And I, I hope it’s been beneficial. It’s been, it’s been great for me to be here, so thank you.

Supposed to be. It really matched my energy. I’m someone who’s always been a big dreamer. I’ve always been really ambitious. I’ve always dreamed big and wanted to go beyond what my little brain thought was possible. That’s why I’m a big dreamer. And I really enjoyed the energy of LA because I felt like it really matched my energy.

And the people here really matched my energy with that ambition and that drive and that, um, dreaming big mentality. And so I loved it and I felt so at home here for a long time. But then it was about probably, so we moved into, I’ve lived all over LA by the way. I’ve lived in Los. Feliz. I’ve lived in Glendale.

I’ve lived in, um, Koreatown, Hancock Park. I’ve lived in Venice Beach and now Sherman Oaks is the place that we live now, but we’ve been here for the past nine years. We bought this house nine years ago. Right after we got married was when we moved into this current house, and it was probably three years into living in this house that I just.

Didn’t feel aligned anymore. Right? So it’s been many years. It’s been about six years that I haven’t quite felt aligned with LA anymore. But my husband wasn’t on board. My husband was aligned with it. So I have done a lot of my mind management. I’ve been patient. In fact, we were gonna move to Maui a couple years ago through the pandemic, and that fell through.

So I feel like there was a lesson here. There was a lesson in patience. There was a lesson in creating my. Own sense of serenity and peace internally without relying on my environment or atmosphere. That was a big part of my work for the past six years, I would say. Um, but yeah, I’ve been wanting to move there now for at least six years.

In fact, um, it’s so funny because I remember, I, I don’t know if I’ve always wanted to live in Maui or not. Like I can’t remember. I think I have because when. Josh and I first started dating, this was 14 years ago, and we decided to go on our first vacation together, which was 13 years ago, about a year into dating.

You know, we were talking about where we wanted to go, and I said, let’s go to Maui, because I hadn’t been there since I was 11 or since I was 13. And I remember him saying, wait, what? Like Maui, like what do you do there, don’t you? Do you just like sit on the beach? I was like. Uh, yeah, that’s exactly what you do.

And he was like, I don’t get it. Right. So growing up, he had never been to on a tropical vacation. He’d never been on a v each vacation. His parents were very much like into culture and arts. So if they went on a trip, it was to Europe to see all the museums and the arts and the theater and all of that. So that’s the.

Only vacation he had ever been on was, you know, a more cultured kind of like, you know, a place where it’s like a city with lots of, um, history and stuff like that. And so he did not know what to expect with the tropical island. And I said, are you kidding me? You’ve never experienced this. We have to do it.

And I remember we got there and he was blown away. We stayed at one of my favorite hotels there, the Fairmont in Kehlani. And when we got into the lobby, he. Freaked out. I felt this surge of energy that came through him, and I think it was in that moment that he just got it and we had the best vacation ever.

And I remember telling him, I wanna move here one day, right? Like, I either wanna place or I wanna move here one day. That’s a dream of mine. So I’ve been dreaming of this for a while. And back then he used to freak out by this dream, and when I would tell him, I wanna move to Maui one day, he kind of resisted it because he would always say, Jamie, like, I love that, that’s your dream, but I can’t do that.

Right? He’s like, I’m a musician. I have to be in la. And he is like, please don’t manifest things that are going to destroy my career. I said, Josh, I would never manifest. Anything that destroyed your career, I said, here’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna manifest that you get on board with this dream, I’m gonna manifest that you also one day want to move to Maui, and I’m gonna manifest that you can live out your wildest dreams career-wise, and it’s going to work out in some weird, miraculous way that you can do it in Maui.

And at that time, he was only doing songwriting, so he was in sessions with artists. All the time you had to have a studio in la All the sessions were happening. And so I remember even visualizing, I was like, well, in the future there’s probably gonna be some kind of virtual thing where you can do virtual sessions, right?

Because this was even before Zoom was big, right? We might have like Skype, but it wasn’t a big thing. And I was like, yeah, there’s probably gonna be like 3D people like in these virtual sessions and you guys will be able to show up as these like holographic. Um. Is that the word? Holographic figures and write together.

Like that was my vision of like, something’s gonna happen to where you can move. Little did I know some things would shift so that he absolutely could move, but we couldn’t have known what it was at the time. But it’s kind of wild how when you set a desire. You can decide that circumstances align that allows it to happen.

Because I think a lot of times when we’re dreaming, the thing that gets in the way or the obstacle that gets in the way of us dreaming is we think of some kind of obstacle that COVID, sorry, lemme say, let me say that again,

is that we see some kind of obstacle that’s getting in the way and we decide we can’t have it. Versus envisioning that that obstacle will no longer be there, that obstacle will be sorted out. It will no longer exist, even though you don’t know the how. Right. I was picturing Josh would still be doing songwriting.

We never thought he would have a pivot in his career at all. We thought he’d be songwriting forever, and I thought it was gonna be a holographic. Figures that come together in like a virtual session, right? It would be like people, but we would each have our own camera and we could come together in virtual meetings, right?

It is so funny, but that’s why I wanna encourage you if you have a dream, but it seems like there’s obstacles, right? Maybe you’re thinking, I don’t have the money to do that, or how would I ever do that with my current career? Or maybe you have kids that like to be in certain places. Don’t let that stop you from dreaming because you can have the caveat, let’s like have the caveat that things will work out, right?

You can add that in. I am manifesting that I can do this thing that my soul feels called to do and it’s all gonna work out and this person’s gonna get on board with it. Right? Or some way somehow. This is all going to. Workout circumstances are gonna shift in a way that it allows it to unfold with grace and ease.

So that is my encouragement in case you ever hit up against that, because I will say being a dreamer and being someone who is a bit of a rebellious spirit, I am one of those people that are just, I don’t take no for an answer. I don’t let. Anything, stop me from what I want to do, and this is a blessing and a curse.

I will say sometimes that is challenging, right? Because sometimes there’s some forceful energy behind it that’s not helpful and I can get impatient and all that kind of stuff. But what’s the blessing about it is that I also don’t let things that seem to be in the way get in the way, right? So I am someone who is willing to work with obstacles and I’m willing to keep dreaming anyways.

So that’s definitely been what the Maui dream and vision has been about, has been holding it, even though it didn’t seem like it could work out initially. Right. And there has been so many of those blocks and obstacles and things. In fact, in um, 2021, it was during CO. Uh, we had decided we wanna move there.

We were like ready to move. I mean, so many of us were going through big transitions during COVID and um, you know, just shaken up our lives a little bit. And, you know, LA was totally locked down. We couldn’t even go to beaches. We couldn’t go on hikes for almost the whole summer, probably like four or five months.

And we were just going a little cuckoo and, um, things were much more. You know, in Maui, it it, there wasn’t a surge of COVID like there was here, so things were more relaxed. Like you could go out in nature. There were things that you could do. Of course, things were closed and you had to mess up and all that kind of stuff, but you could at least go outside and do things.

And so during that time we had decided we were gonna move there. And we even went, we had a realtor. We looked at houses, we looked at several different houses. There was one that I fell in love with that I wanted to make an offer on, and it actually happened to be in Laina. And this was before the line fires happened like years before.

And um, we were thinking about putting an offer on it and then Josh kind of stopped us and he. Was like, you know, I’m not ready. I can’t do this. And that was also simultaneously around the time that he. Got OCD really bad, not got OCD ’cause he always had it, but it got triggered and activated like never before.

And you know, I was on an episode, Josh came on an episode with me, um, earlier in the podcast so you can. Look up that episode if you want to, where he talks about this journey. But his OCD got so bad and he realized he really had to focus on his healing and that he was absolutely not in a place to make major moves in his life.

So he put that on pause, decided we weren’t doing it. I was very, very, very upset ’cause I had been dreaming of this. Right. And it’s funny because looking back, there’s so many things that like I see where I’m like, God, I really have been dreaming this for so many years. I even said it in our vows. I said, I promised to move on a tropical island with you.

Which was like kind of a joke to him ’cause it wasn’t what he really wanted, but he knew I really wanted it. Anyways, he decided not to do it, and I remember being so upset. I was so mad at him. I was so resentful for a long time. We had to work through this because I’m like, how do you do that? How do you tell me we’re gonna do it?

This is one of my biggest dreams ever. We go look at houses, and then you just decide you can’t. And you know, I came to some understanding after seeing what he was going through and I had to be patient and I had to be kind with him because I understood, right. I had compassion for it, but I also had compassion for me who felt like my biggest dream was about to manifest and then it was just pulled away.

And that now we have to live in LA even longer. And it wasn’t somewhere that I was feeling aligned with anymore. So I was really frustrated by that. But I’ll tell you what we decided to do. Um, and this might be helpful if you are trying to manifest something or if there’s something you’ve wanted to manifest for a long time, but it just feels like it’s not happening.

Or maybe it was an almost and then it didn’t happen, right? Like there was an almost where we were almost gonna move there and then. It didn’t happen. What I would recommend is consider what baby steps can you take? How can you do it in a way where it’s not just all or nothing? Right? Sometimes this really helps our system become a match to it, and it also creates the safety of doing it.

And for me, I felt safe doing, I’m someone who, like I, I’m good with making changes, right? But my husband, he really likes to feel. Super solid in things. He takes more time. He has to feel much more comfortable with a decision. He thinks things through way more than I do, right? I’m kind of like, my gut says yes, let’s go.

He’s like, let’s think through all the pros and all the cons. My brain is like, oh my gosh. But I knew it would create more safety in him if we took baby steps. So instead of just moving there at that time, what we decided to do was just go there more often to get in the energy of it. And that was his promise to me.

Since we didn’t end up moving there, he’s like, let’s go there more. So what we started doing was going there twice a year. Right. And before that, we had never gone that much. We would go every other year, maybe that would be our vacation. So we started going, getting a feel for the island. Um, we would rent Airbnbs, you know, for a week at a time, twice a year.

And we just started going more often and with every time we went, of course I had always been in love with it, but Josh started falling more and more and love with it. And to the point where he said, well, what if we, instead of just making the move, since he didn’t feel comfortable, he was like, what? If instead we get a condom.

Right. And that’s what I was like, yes. I don’t know if he decided or I thought of this, but we decided, okay, let’s take steps instead of doing it all at once. And we decided we wanted to manifest a second home there so that we could go back and forth so that he felt comfortable here in LA and had his music and then.

I got to experience my Maui dream, and every time I go there, I feel so lit up and my soul feels so happy, it feels so in alignment. So we decided to manifest that even though at that time we did not have the circumstances, we did not have the money to have a second home at all. Like. No reason. We should have been dreaming for that, right?

But we decided, again, I, I decide what I want before I decide how it’s gonna happen, right? I decide I’m gonna manifest something, and then I trust that the universe will conspire upon my behalf and things will work out. If this is what’s meant to be, the universe is gonna support it as long as I hold onto the vision and I just keep taking steps towards it.

And funny enough, I think I’ve shared this on the podcast. Before, but it was wild because when we both got on board with this idea of getting a condo right, a second place there, it was wild. Like two weeks later, oh no. One or two weeks later is when Josh’s lawyer called him and said, Hey. There’s been an offer on your publishing, right?

Or a portion of your publishing for his music. And this was something he had never, ever, ever thought about doing. It wasn’t in his mind, he didn’t even see this as, you know, a resource of ours. Um, but this was an amazing offer that was made because at that time, investors were really investing in songs.

They were investing in publishing, and they were buying. Portions of people’s catalogs, and he had been a songwriter and he had had many songs in that catalog, and someone made the most incredible offer that. Was just impossible to refuse. That offer gave us way more than the down payment that we needed for a second home, so we decided we are going to just shift the resources.

We are going to move it from this channel of abundance into another investment, which would be the condo that we’re also able to enjoy. So wild how that happens when things are in alignment and you just decide to dream it and go for it and decide that you can have it and that decide that you can figure out a way.

Wild things happen, miracles happen. So this was a true miracle. So he decided to sell a portion of his publishing and then a year later we got our amazing, amazing condo that I have absolutely loved. And that was a true gift in so many ways because it allowed me to go to Maui many times a year. Last year I went six.

Times, and it was a dream, and I loved every single time there, but it also made Josh feel like, yeah, this is where I wanna move full time. Right? He’s like, I know this is where we belong. I see Jamie’s so happy here. He’s like, I, he’s started not feeling aligned with la And then also, I forgot to share this part of this story, but after his OCD journey.

Or through the middle of it. He also had a big opening and awakening and kind of realized he no longer wanted to solely be a songwriter. He decided he wants to be an artist, and that he wants to go back to his roots of classical music and do modern classical composing. So throughout that time when the world kind of shut down and he didn’t have songwriting sessions or anything going on, he moved into becoming an artist and he wrote a piano album, one of which.

Helped him heal his OCD. It’s called Hymns for Troubled Times, um, which was very successful. It was, it’s been really successful on all platforms. iTunes, on, um, you know, apple Music, um, on Spotify, all the platforms and you know, it’s gotten on huge playlists and people love it. And then he came out with another album and now he’s coming out with his next.

Huge album. Um, but with that pivot, that’s where my initial instinct of circumstances are gonna align to where he can do this and he can live out his dream. Because now that he shifted from becoming a songwriter into becoming an artist, he can do that from anywhere in the world and on top of it.

Everything’s so international. All of the calls that he has as is are now on Zoom or on FaceTime. So I wasn’t wrong with thinking there was gonna be some kind of virtual hologram where he could have meetings. That thing was called Zoom, and that was far before that was really a thing. So that all aligns.

So that’s also why he now feels comfortable and he’s. Excited about moving his whole studio to Maui. Um, so yeah, things have unfolded and has the whole journey felt easy? Absolutely not. There’s been some ups and some downs and thinking we’re gonna move and then not moving, and then getting the condo. And that’s been great, but me still knowing I wanna be there full time and just having to hold space and patience and all of that.

Um, believing that one day it would absolutely happen. And that one day is happening super soon because we have decided to make the move. So we are officially selling our condo. We are officially getting our LA house on the market. We’re selling both of those. And then we are going to find our full-time home in Maui.

And this whole journey is truly right now a journey of major surrender. Because we are living in our house while we sell it, and we don’t wanna have a third property before everything sells. So we are waiting for things to sell, to move there. But that also means, I don’t know, are we gonna rent? What kind of rentals are gonna be available?

Or are we gonna find something that we wanna buy right away? Don’t know. I haven’t been in this place in a while. I’ve actually never been in this place where I just have No, no, I have, when I moved to LA I had no idea where I was moving. That’s true. That’s the only time I’ve ever been like, I don’t know where I’m moving.

I’m just driving out here. And that’s what it feels like with this is we don’t know like what part of the island are we gonna be on? Is there gonna be. You know, the right rental for us, um, or are we gonna find a house to buy initially? Um, it really is about finding a place that has space for Josh’s studio.

So that’s always a big thing, is it’s kind of about the house. Um, but of course y’all know I’ve been manifesting exactly what I want. I’m honestly, I just love the whole island of Maui, so I’m really leaving the location up to the universe and I truly believe that we are gonna find a place that feels like absolute heaven.

And I’m so excited to see where that ends up being. Like we’re open to the beach cities like Kihei or um, like N Bay we’re also, um. You know, open to upcountry living or haiku or it’s Rainier and more of a rainforest. Like, I, I don’t know where we’re gonna land, but I’m excited to see, and I’m excited to share this journey with you.

Um, it’s wild, right? And my realtor was in Maui. His name’s Sam. He’s awesome. He’s like, you guys are just gonna have to be in the flow. Like, let it flow like one thing at a time, just like. Believe that you can get in the flow and it’s all gonna unfold, and I truly. Um, sticking with that intention of just being in the flow and trusting and surrendering because we don’t know when the condo’s gonna sell.

We also don’t know when the house will sell. So we don’t know the exact time that we’re moving and we don’t know are we gonna get a house that’s furnished or not? And you know, what do we need to sell? What not? It’s something that we can’t totally plan everything. And we have to just trust our instincts with a lot of it.

So right now we are doing major decluttering. Um, we just got our condo on the market like one day ago, and so that’s super exciting. And then in our LA house we’re just, you know, we’ve been living here nine years, so we have a lot of stuff and we’re just majorly decluttering right now. We’re getting the house ready to get on the market.

So if y’all could send me good vibes for all of this, for selling to places at once, and then finding a home to move into that feels really aligned, I will take all your positive vibes and your positive energy. This is the journey. Um, and some of the words that are coming to me for this next chapter are simplification.

I want a simpler life, right? I, I’ve had two homes the past three years. Um, our house in LA was pretty big, a lot to take care of. We had a huge yard with. Lots of landscaping, which all sounded great. Like a pool, a hot tub, all the things that I manifested way back in the day. But even with having, you know, gardeners and pool people, like it’s been a lot to manage on top of, Josh has his career, I have my career, so I’m really feeling called for simplification.

Maybe it’s a little bit of a smaller home that has everything that we need in terms of layout. It has the studio, it has my office, it has a guest room for guests. It has our bedroom, but like. A bit smaller and simpler than what we have, which is a part of why I am also feeling called to rent. Because you know, when you rent.

You don’t have to take care of all of those things, so that is enticing to me. But I am open. We’re gonna see what the universe has in store for us, but simplification is big, and I’m just so excited to be in that energy because there’s so many hobbies that I. Absolutely love that are there. So one of the things that makes my soul happier than probably anything else in the world is humpback whales.

I don’t know what it is. I have some kind of karmic connection to them. That is for sure. I love all sea life like. Me and my sisters, I don’t know. We came in, it’s funny ’cause we’re all like born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri and we lived in Michigan. We did not live by the ocean in any way, shape, or form.

But all of us are absolutely obsessed with sea life and ocean. And we call ourselves whale whisperers. Um, we all went on a trip. To Maui. They came to my condo like one last time before we put it on the market. And like Josh was cracking up ’cause he’s just like, I’ve never seen people who love little sea creatures so much.

Like you guys just freak out about anything. And that is very true for me. So I know I’ll probably do something with that, whether it’s volunteering or, um, I don’t know. Maybe I’ll go back to school and like part-time and get a degree in marine biology. I have no idea, but I know there’s. Something there for me, and it might be be just volunteer.

Um. Volunteer stuff there with the Whale foundation, um, or at the Maui Ocean Center. I don’t know, but I am feeling called to have that, and so I just see more hobbies there. Here in la, the way that I felt is a bit stagnant and stuck, and I’ll tell you why. It’s kind of like I have my beautiful home that I love that.

In the hills, but the minute you go down the hill, it feels so chaotic for me. Like even parking is just a nightmare. It’s a chore sometimes. Like it takes an hour just to go park at a coffee shop sometimes midday, right? And like, so I just rarely leave whenever I’m in LA ’cause I just can’t handle the way that I feel on the roads here.

So I felt a little stuck and stagnant and kind of like, I can’t. Not, I can’t, I can have hobbies, but it feels like it’s at the expense of my nervous system driving around la. So I tend to not do much other than just a lot of, like when I’m here, I double down on work and you know, I do stuff in the house and I meditate and I walk in the neighborhood and stuff.

But I felt a little. Stuck. So I’m so excited to be in Maui and be able to go out and pop into a coffee shop with ease or just go to the store with ease, um, and have some community and maybe be a part of like a canoe club where I get to be on the ocean. ’cause that’s my happy place. And to be able to walk on the beaches and have a lot more nature, a lot of more stillness, um, and a smaller community, you know, so I’m.

Super, super like beyond. Super excited about that. Now, you may be wondering what kind of manifestation practices I have been using towards this since I have been manifesting this for what feels like for a bur and I’ve been seeing it. In fact, it’s so funny because as I’m decluttering, look here, I got like vision boards upon vision boards from the years and.

Every, if you are looking on YouTube, ’cause my podcast is on YouTube, so every single one of them has like tons of pictures of Maui and homes in Maui and the mountains and the ocean and the whales and me paddle boarding and. Yeah, totally. These are all Maui, and this was from years ago. I mean, that was my a hundred K vision board, so that had to be about nine years ago, right when I was manifesting my first a hundred K.

So I have absolutely been using vision boards and evidence shows, ’cause I’ve been pulling ’em all out as I’ve been decluttering my office and I’m like, wow, I have been calling this one in for a while. So it’ll be fun to see where we land and which picture it aligns with. ’cause I have many different houses on these vision boards.

Um. But yeah, vision boarding is huge. Visualization huge. I definitely see it. And then also the going there and being in the energy of it. So I said there’s a power in baby steps, and I think this is really helpful with manifestation. So you don’t have to be all or nothing, especially if you’re not in a place where you can afford something or if you are, um, not in a place where you’re actually able to do it.

Like for many years I couldn’t actually move here full time because. I had a husband who was working in LA and unless we decided to split waves or something, which was not gonna happen, it wasn’t in alignment. So I just wasn’t ready. We weren’t ready to move there. So that’s where the power of baby steps, and that was part of my practice, was deciding, okay, I’m gonna stretch the amount of times that I vacation there.

And yes, was it stretchy Sometimes? Yes, but every time I was there, I would get into the energy and feel like one day we’re gonna move here. One day we’re gonna move here. One day I wonder where it’s gonna be. And I would dream about it, just being in the space of it. And I remember whenever I first moved out to LA when I want to manifest, being in a house.

And I would drive through neighborhoods and be like, oh my gosh, what would it be like to afford a house in LA one day? Whoa. And like drive through the neighborhoods and pretend it was mine and pretend it was me pulling outta the neighborhood. Right. And that’s kind of what I did in Maui. I would go around and kind of like live into as if I was like a local there and what that feels like and what would my grocery store be and what would my target be and what would this.

You know, and so the baby steps, that was a big manifestation practice. And also, I love looking on Redfin, Zillow, always looking at what’s on the market and just playing. Like even though I was not in a place to buy at that time, or we weren’t ready for it, we were constantly looking. So that was definitely a manifestation practice and then speaking it into existence, I’ve been doing that.

For a long time. Like I said, I mean in my wedding vows, I said, I promised to move to a tropical island with you. Like I was dead set on it even though Josh wasn’t ready. And it was like he had a laugh with those vows. I was like, no, that is what’s happening. So if you’re marrying me, you’re getting on board with that.

So yeah, I’ve been speaking it into existence. I mean, y’all know if you’ve been in my world for a while, how obsessed I am with Hawaii and how called I felt to move there. And so I speak it out a lot and tell people that I’m gonna move there. Wild story. Also it that it’s been shared on this podcast because I had the coach Jackie Reis on who’s an amazing life coach and she was on the podcast and.

Funny enough, how did me and Jackie meet? I met her because I bought this LA home from her. We met whenever I was buying the house, so she used to live here and then wild, her and her husband moved to Maui from this LA house that I live in. And I remember whenever I first met them and we had put an offer and they accepted it and they said, well, we’re moving to Maui.

And I said, oh my gosh, after I live in this house. I’m gonna move to Maui too. That’s where we’re moving next. And I just knew it. I just said it. I was like, so we’ll see you there in like couple years. They moved there and she ended up becoming a life coach. It’s just this wild story, right? She was in television before, but she ended up becoming a life coach.

So we really connected over that. And then whenever I go to Maui, I get to see her. Um, you know, we bought our condo and she was really helpful. Full in terms of that and we’ve become friends. Um, but yeah, so in terms of speaking it into existence, like they told us this was nine years ago that they were moving there from this home.

And I said, well, we’re gonna move there next. And I said it with such solid belief and just knowing, and this was before Josh was on board, but I just kept saying it. I was speaking it into existence, right. So it works.

I also have journaled about this, written about it put, you know, I do ideal scenarios of a day in the life of, I’ve done future self meditations. In fact, I have a meditation called Becoming an Energetic Match to Money Meditation That. I personally recorded for myself first, and then I started offering it.

Um, we’ll put the link in the show notes for it if you wanna get it, but every time I would do that meditation. I was in Maui, so I would see myself there in meditations. I would see myself there in the future, and I, not even just myself but ourselves, I would see me and Josh and Millie. I had all these like visions of what it would be.

Never super specific, but I have a couple of different visions of what it is. So, um, in meditation, I’ve used that as my manifestation practice and I have just written about it for so many years. I think every manifestation journal that I have, every goals that I have, it includes that for sure. So I have used.

All the practices on it. I even have in Pinterest of, um, you know, a Pinterest board that’s like Maui living and it has the homes that I would want, what kind of lifestyle that I want. Um, and I’ve just pinned different things and restaurants that I wanna go to and all of that. And, uh, so yeah, I’ve been calling this in for a while, so I’m super excited for y’all to be on the journey with me, and I’m so excited to keep you posted as it all unfolds.

One day it’s gonna be so fun to be like, which one day soon I’m gonna be like, Hey y’all, I’m just recording this podcast from my studio in Maui and it’ll be fun to say where I end up landing. I’m not sure where we’re gonna end up. So it’s fun to think about. So thanks for being on the journey and joining in for this episode where I share about my heartfelt dream.

And I hope this encourages you to think about what your soul desires, what your heartfelt dream is, and to decide that even if circumstances aren’t aligned with it yet, you can still decide to manifest it. You can decide to envision it, you can decide that it’s done, it’s happening, it’s unfolding. And just watch how the universe conspires upon your behalf.
