Guest Host Tara Leduc: Are You Abandoning Yourself?

Changing the World Peace by Peace
Guest Host Tara LeDuc

Abandonment is not something that happens to us, it’s something we do to ourselves.  It’s the subtle ways we end up abandoning ourselves, dimming our light, softening our tone, giving up our to muchness for getting along and making things easier.

When everything I have to juggle comes together it feels like a soup.
Over time I let my Self Care go. I felt shamed taking time away from my responsibilities, my husband & family.

What’s happening to my meditation practice & everything else?
What am I afraid of?  I’m afraid of my business being so successful that my husband is not going to approve and he will leave me.

I have been putting away my needs so in a way I have been abandoning myself in favor of my husband. Abandoning what I want to do for my business in favor of being afraid of being abandoned by my husband.

I haven’t been feeling myself for the last six months, maybe it’s been a year or two or five..  I’ve been feeling heavier, less likely to go on the retreat, travel, to an awesome conference because I’m afraid of “What am I going to come back to.”

I have been abandoning myself bit by bit for really quite a while. It wasn’t because he asked me to, it’s because I felt like it would lower the conflict in my relationship and ultimately he wouldn’t abandon me.

I am diminished, I can feel my flame getting smaller and smaller and in danger of getting snuffed out.

The question is, Have I gotten to the point where I am ready to elevate myself where I can commit to me?

We are going to Lean In to meditation.
Meditation is like going to a spiritual gym.

(Tara Leads 10 Minute Guided Mediation) 

You are already perfect even in your imperfections.
You super awesome.
Find your way back to you.

  • You have gifts and skills that your people need…. BUT, yes BIG BUT…Are you hiding out? Are you hoping you will be discovered and found by your people but still up in your office bumming about how you have no one? I get it. Putting yourself out there for the world to see can be intense - and it can bring up all sorts of fears. You have to get your work out there somehow. If only the clients and customers would show up. And they don't. It is time. It's time to put your pro-panties on and get your work out there. Are you ready to step forward and begin taking steps to stop being the BEST KEPT SECRET? Maybe you are in the perfectionist trap...or in a perpetual state of getting ready to get ready? Possibly, you are an introvert who just doesn't want getting your work out there to feel slick, salesy, and schmarmy. Maybe some or all of these things are keeping you behind the scenes..... when really, YOU HAVE SACRED CONTRACTS to FULFILL. It's time to Share Your Heart Show Your Work...this is a soul-full way of serving your audience and selling your authentic and sacred services. Join us - we start next week www.allisoncrow.com/magic
  • I want to talk to the misfits- is that you? Are you the type of person that when you are asked what you do or what problem you solve for your clients you freeze? You just aren’t quite sure how to answer that because your magic doesn’t fit into words? I feel that. It can be hard to fit our magic and work into traditional marketing, selling and BEing practices. It can make us feel like we are shrinking or shoving ourselves into a corner. But it doesn’t have to be this way. I’ve learned how to feel free, autonomous, and lead with my heart in my business and you can too. I’m sharing how I do it with my Share Your Heart Share Your Work method on the podcast today and I don’t think you’ll want to miss this one. You CAN align your systems and tactical needs with your magic, heart, and work. So take a listen to today’s episode (link in bio) to see how I do and how you can too and then I’d love to hear what you think-are you in?!
  • "There is always something for me in this podcast. It's like listening in on a really nourishing conversation." Podcast review. 💛💛💛 Y'all sometimes I just don't' feel like recording the podcast- that's just the honest truth. But then I get little reminders like this podcast review that I'm doing them for you. That I feel called to a bigger purpose with this podcast. And that helps- it really does. So I hope you are finding that there is something for you in each show (you can always access them via the link in my bio if you fall behind) and if you are loving it, consider leaving me some review love- I really do read them and SO appreciate them!
  • I'm like a snake, y'all. I just keep shedding my skin and changing and evolving. And growing and changing and evolving again. And we will see what's on the horizon... What do you think? Are you like a snake too?
  • Marketing for magic providers is different. The traditional means and processes can be really confining for a person who serves, creates, and sells in the realms of energy, divine matrix, and creation (vs production) realms. With that confinement comes a heap of self doubt. I’m here to give you permission to do it differently. I’m here to give you permission to trust your magic means of creation with out knowing what problem you solve for a client. Sometimes the work you do is beyond one problem and certainly beyond the tiny framework of language. Perhaps the next evolution of Share Your Heart Show Your Work: Marketing and Selling for Magical Creatures is brewing. I admit. I get whacked in the brain with all the systems and processes and 7steps and I doubt and shrink because “I’m doing it wrong.” I’m over it. I’m an effing magician and for 16 years I’ve marketed and created my way and it works. I’ve also tried the traditional ways and it felt confining an out of alignment. Client call after client call I see that there is a need for the mystic magical misfits to market in a different and still effective way. I forget that I’m a genius at this and can help you 😂 More soon. But for now ...if you resonate with this or are thirsty for creative marketing and selling in a different way drop me a magic emoji below!
  • Last week I shared insight on Facebook, that I recently became aware of the distinction between my depression and my anxiety. Depression is when I press down feelings. Anxiety is when I THINK my feelings. Both are strategies to avoid feeling them. And the biggest question that came up from people was about how to FEEL your feelings. And guess what… right before we recorded this @kristenkosinski shows up live with Angry October talking about how to do exactly this! This is a beautiful conversation and I cannot wait to hear your takeaways.
  • Sometimes all you need is community and connection. That's one of the many reasons I love Soul-Full Success. It's a community like no other y'all. We allow for connection for everything from your woo-iest of dreams to your most concrete business question. It's just a big old mix of LIFE and biz. And it's full of gorgeous souls. And gorgeous ideas. And gorgeous space to just BE YOU. I’m so grateful for this community. What's a community you are grateful to be a part of today? 💛
