Who are you declaring to be?
Maybe this question seems odd to you … but often we are declaring something about ourselves subconsciously and don’t even realize how is it creating the results in our lives.
I used to say that I am afraid of changes. That I fear the new and unknown.
I still would go and do things that were new and scary to me, yet I would go into them holding my breath.
Which means that almost every time I would start something it was heavy and scary for me.
Like leaving my country and living in London, Spain, USA or Mexico, like starting my bachelor's and master's degree, like training people as personal trainer, like starting my biz as social media strategist, like letting go of first biz and transitioning into mindset and biz coaching for women.
The list could be endless...yet now looking back I see how many sleepless nights it gave me.
It robbed me from being present and allow myself to feel the richness of each experience.
What I am now teaching my clients is how to fully embrace unapologetically who they are, how to share boldly their gifts, and how to declare to BE the person who they intend to be NOW.
When you declare in the now who you intend to be in the future you are rooted and grounded in the present and opening up the door to call in the next level of abundance.
Who are you declaring to be now?

Would you allow that?
I ask myself that question looking into my daughter's eyes.
I asked myself if she would be going or facing this or that situation would I allow that?
Would I be OK with that?
And if not, why would I allow myself to feel that or go through that?
Ask yourself if you would have a child or younger sibling innocent, vulnerable child you would protect it and love it unconditionally?
Why wouldn’t you do that for yourself?
when are you going to put yourself in the first place?
When are you going to be the one you’re searching for?
Remember the way you treat yourself you teach others how to treat you.
In life and biz. People are reflection of your relationship with YOU.

You’re so brave she said… when I shared with the clerk in the store that I had a home birth.
How interesting that we can still see birth as something that has to be monitored, scheduled, and managed, as a disease instead of a natural event that our bodies know how to work with.
And I’m not surprised.
When my hubby said that we will do a home birth when someone asked us I thought he was crazy.
That it’s not safe.
So I started to do my research as the right 5/1 generator.
And actually found out that home birth in USA is so much safer than hospital.
I went on a rabbit hole of books, classes and all I could put my hands on to learn about natural birth to bring our baby girl here safely and healthily.
Yet no amount of studying could possibly prepare me for the powerful 12-hour experience before I held our baby for the first time.
When I got my first surges (aka contractions in more positive way said in Hypnobirthing world) I told it’s just a trial run so I went from bed to bathroom back and forth.
And then after timing the surges and seeing that they come each 10-8 mins I realized we’re not only on trial run this is happening.
So when my hubby woke up around 3am to go to the bathroom I told him we are having surges last two hours and to help me fill up the bath to get some relief.
We lit up some candles but honestly I was so deep in the experience trying to breath through each surge that was coming more and more often.
So around 3:30 am we called our amazing doula Heidi and when she heard me and times of my surges she said she is in her way with birthing pool too.
She arrived before 4:30 am and I was so thankful to have her.
She calmed me down, massaged me and reassured me I can do this.
Not to even mention my husband Christopher who didn’t move from my side, didn’t eat for those 12 hrs, was feeding me dates and peanut butter and was giving me coconut water.
When Heidi prepped the pool I went in feeling a little bit relief but wondering how much longer this can last 😬
Then Heidi called in a couple of hours our midwife and my hubby called our friend Pavlina, who is also professional photographer.
In my mind I was preparing for smooth, gentle birth.
What I got was intense rebirth for myself, where my old self died in powerful way.
I was moaning, raw, wild, uncensored part of me was released.
Our midwife arrived around 8:30 am and I was so happy to see her in hopes we are almost done.
But around 10:30 - 11am I entered in a space called transition.
Where I wanted to give up, when I thought I can’t do this any longer and telling my husband if he wants more kids to forget it and have them on his own and birth them 😳
I was in this space when I didn’t want to keep going and was doubting myself for almost two hours.
And then it shifted..
I shifted.
I started to talk to our baby girl.
Telling her to come to us.
Telling her I’m ready for her.
All my doubts if I can or can’t be really a mother went aside and I deeply believe I can.
I deeply desired to hold our baby in my arms.
And then with each intense surge I let go of philosophy of Hypnobirthing of not pushing and just breathing baby out into pushing.
Into giving it my all.
I could feel the baby but she wasn’t coming out fully yet.
I was told they can see her head but I couldn’t her through that point.
So we were changing positions to make sure the baby is moving down.
I even felt by hand her head which keep motivating me to keep going.
In hypnobirthing they teach us not to push and to just breathe baby down, yet it came to a point that I had to push to help her move through.
I am so thankful for our doula, midwife and mainly my husband who helped me believe I can keep going and do this.
After what felt like forever our baby girl start moving more and more out and in one moment Tiffanie, our midwife reach down and got her out and on my chest.
I couldn’t believe she is here.
I couldn’t believe I am done.
First thing I asked was if she is ok, which our midwife confirmed. She checked her while on my chest and we both looked at each other with Chris, my husband in tears.
She is here.
I couldn’t see her face to Tiffanie held her in front of me and I burst into tears.
I saw my grandmother in her face.
When her cord stopped pulsing my husband cut it as I was bleeding more than our midwife wanted to see so I had to birth the placenta.
In the meantime my husband was sitting with our baby girl skin to skin.
when I got from the birthing pool into bed with the help of doula and midwife and got cleaned up, our baby girl was put on my chest to breastfeed.
I couldn’t believe that I can feed another human to life.
What a miracle!
My birth story is positive and beautiful.
My birth empowered me to know if I can do this I can do anything!
Even though it wasn’t couple of hours of gentle birthing, but 12 hours intense experience, now looking into my daughters eyes… it was so worth it.
Whatever your birth experience was, or will be, know it is perfect for you and your baby and your baby chose to come that way.
As our Sophia Marie did with her home water intense birth.

When did you decide to stop believing in miracles?
And I don’t mean in any biblical sense now.
Each and every moment I look at our daughter, Sophia Marie, I’m in awe!
What a miracle!!
Each and every cell of her body, each little piece of her was created in my body.
I co-created her!
I birthed her!🤍
And there isn’t a thing on her that I don’t see as a perfection.
Yet I know I never saw myself as a miracle.
I saw myself as loser and waste of space 😔
So I started wonder, when did I stop believing I’m a miracle?
When did I start to see myself as not enough, as fat, as unworthy, as not smart enough, as not special enough?
What we believe about ourselves will reflect on our health, relationships and also abundance we allow in our lives.
If you’re not feeling right now abundant in all areas…
Pause…
And ask yourself, do I see myself as a miracle?
As you would about a little human that came to this world so worthy, so lovable, so beautiful?

So often we are looking for the perfect strategy and steps to create more abundance in our business.
We create offers that we wish that existed when we were on our journey trying to figure it out.
Yet when we launch we don’t get as many sign-ups, clients or profit as we have imagined.
Today I am sharing with you the three ingredients you need to add to your recipe for successful sales.
Connection
Communication
Confidence
People want to connect deeply nowadays. They don’t care about another offer, or another program, they want to be deeply connected to the person who has created it. They want to feel that this is what their soul truly needs.
How can you connect deeper to the audience you are offering?
How can you be more vulnerable?
How can you be more raw?
We also get to learn to communicate clearly.
Don’t just tell people features of your offer. Share stories of why you have created this. Why is it for them? Communicate clearly and openly about what they will feel after finishing, what they will walk away, what this investment can turn into in their lives?
Last but not least...Confidence.
I always tell my clients that confidence converts. If you are not head over heal about your offer. If you are not super excited about it knowing this is the thing that you used to be praying for and it would be crazy if people don’t buy from you...
How do you expect other to buy? To believe in you and your offer?
Confidence is a muscle you can grow an develop as you go. To start truly being magnetic just focus on sharing about things you are confident now and more will come as you go.
Which one of these you will be adding more of when you are launching your new offer?

On this episode, we talked about:
Align your energy with what you want to manifest
You can work your hours and with the clients that you want
Working on the energetics
Being abundantly paid by helping others
"You can have all the strategies in the world, but if your energy is not in alignment with what you want to manifest, it's going to fall flat"
"If we are not willing to invest in ourselves, how can we expect other people to invest in us?"
About Courtney:
Celebration is vibration of abundance and today I am celebrating my client Courtney. We could mention that Courtney has doubled her income after a month working with me, risen her pricing and feels confident and worthy with them now, or that she has also built offer suits that lights her up... Yet what I want to mention is the HOW. Courtney thought that having the right strategy is the IT. Yet she soon realized that working with me on alignment and energetics was what set up the ground for being able to implement those strategies and create more freedom, abundance and joy in her life. So inspired by her and I am willing you will be too!
