Hi Reader,

Let me tell you a story. It starts with a phrase:

“I find that very hard to believe.”

My heart fell into my ass. I was completely taken aback. But I wouldn’t understand why until a few minutes later.

A client and I had been talking about something relatively minor: a tech update that eliminated a feature we wanted to use for a campaign. Neither of us realized it had been removed by the platform itself. When I told them about it via audio message, the above reply is what I got.

I really felt like I'd been slapped.

They didn’t mean to trigger me, and there’s no way for them to know that that specific phrase is exactly what my mother used to say when she thought I was lying (I wasn’t) or when she was gaslighting me (she was).

Now, decades later, all those feelings came to the surface. BUT I also knew that my client and my mother are two very different people.

So, I got up from my desk and went to put on my makeup for the day. That’s when the realization dropped in from all the shadow work I’ve done over the years.

My client had said a phrase that held DEEP personal, traumatic meaning for me.

For them, it was just a reflection of their frustration, which had nothing to do with me.

It’s been a while since something like this has happened. (Did you know I used to be triggered by anyone using my name in a sentence when talking to me? That’s a story for another day.)

Once I realized what happened, I was able to center myself, refill my coffee, and get back to work. We figured out a work-around, btw, and were able to move on with our campaign.

💜

I'm sharing this story because sometimes we need that break and that gut-check. Even as someone as experienced in shadow work and business shadow work as I am, I needed those moments to figure out what the f*ck was going on.

I wouldn't have been able to get through it, though, if I hadn't had a community of purpose-motivated folks around me as I first started my journey.

That's one of the super cool things about my brand new offering, the Cosmic CEO Collective™. We're going to be a community from day one, where we can share our successes, doubts, and wtf moments alongside the monthly theme and strategy goals we set with each other.

You can learn more about the Collective here, and here's a quick rundown of what you get each month:

• 1 90-minute Group Cosmic Strategy Session for real strategy, grounded planning, and live coaching guided by cosmic timing, energy awareness, and what's going on in the world around us
• 1 45-60 minute Reiki Energy Clearing group session to release pressure, fear, and old patterns, clear blocks around visibility, money, and leadership, and just help you to decompress
• 2 drop-in Coworking Sessions where you can bring something to work on (in your biz, for a client, or from your 9-5 gig) for independent, supported work

Plus, all replays will stay in our content library and there's already a few mini courses in there for you today.

Founding members can lock in the rate of $35/month for all group content or opt for the Call-Free Coaching add-on for just $149 (you get me in your back pocket and can text me whenever if you're in this tier!).

​Give it a look and and let me know if you have any questions!

xoxo,
Megan
