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.

  • 15/40 💛🙏🏼💫 40 Days of Prayers for the #soulfullmogul and anyone working to create #soulfullsuccess: Warning: you start praying daily, and you pray in public - some shit is gonna get unearthed. Fuck, Great Gardner of my life. You give me exactly what I want and need. You tend to the tiniest details of my life. And when I ask for expansion and growth you help me see what is choking my progress. And even though it feels deeply uncomfortable I know that my soul is growing deeper as I surrender to you. Like my grass.... the weeds can be subtle. Sometimes I don’t see them until they are taking over- and you give me the tools to cultivate and purge: Today I am pulling the weeds in not only my yard, but the weeds in my mind. The weeds of fear and lies. The weeds of doubt and shame. I see how the deep roots of people pleasing choke out the most beautiful things that want to grow in my life. I see how the fearful need to be like and understood keeps me from living out my full expression. I pull these weeds and I give them to you. I plant the seeds of self trust. I plant the seeds of confident desire. I sow the seeds of my truth, your truth, expressed in every cell in my being. I commit to getting my hands and feet down in the earth as needed to cultivate my desires as you gave them to me. Help me keep my eyes on my own garden. Help me dare to cultivate rich soil in my heart, my life, and in my business. And so it is. 🙏🏼💛
  • Ohh ya'll, this podcast came from deep down. I went to record it 4 times. As some of you may have seen on my stories, life and other things seemed to always pop up and get in the way of recording. And it made me think about why SoulFull Success and the work I do is Life and Biz- with an emphasis on Life. Life got in the way this week. There could have been nothing in biz coaching that would have served me with this. No strategy, no plan that could have helped me. And that's a perfect example of why I focus on LIFE and biz in SoulFull Success. We have to give attention and space for both. Take a listen to see if any of what I share sounds like you, if you also have these types of weeks, days, or feelings and then let me know. 💛 Allison
  • 14/40 💛🙏🏼💫 40 Days of Prayers for the #soulfullmogul and anyone working to create #soulfullsuccess: . Infinite Breath - breathe through me. With each inhale, please bring back my aliveness and presence. And with each exhale help me to release the static and stress of everyday life. With every deep inhale allow your love to fill each of my cells and tissues literally changing the chemistry of my body. And on the exhale - help me to release the tension that has built up in me. Help me release the pressure I put on myself and the incessant judgement that comes along with all my efforting. Oh Breath of Life, BREATHE ME. Helping me to remember. Remember that IAM Remember that I need only BE. Remember my true nature. Remember to allow life to unfold. Remember there is nothing I need do and that flow will carry me as I release my tight, white-nuckled grip. In. Gently. Deeply. Out. Completely. And deeply in again. Breath of Life, restore me. And so it is. 💛🙏🏼

  • When I was teaching kindergarten in the late 90s, I had a student - we’ll call him Joe. Joe loved to color, write, and draw, always, with a turquoise crayon. He LOVED his art and his color. Day after day... he colored in his favorite color with such joy and innocence. One day, a fellow teacher told him, “Joe- sunshines are NOT turquoise. They are yellow or orange.” And instantly I saw the light and joy drain from his being. I tried to tell him, “Sunshines are what ever color you want them to be,” but the damage was done. Early in life, the experts tell us the way it should be done, how we need to do it, and the right way. At this stage in my business, I am not new. I don’t need any more training in this moment. I’m weary of nexting and reaching for the next expert. For doing it the “RIGHT WAY.” We think of we have the RIGHT way... we will be safe and successful. And I am miserable when I try to do it right. So I’m declaring today my do it FUN day. My way. With the same way little Joe colored his world before he was told he was doing it wrong. I just wanna take my crayon and color in a way that feels good. What would feel good to you? What if there were NO EXPERTS and NO RIGHT way.... Only experiments, play and trusting in our creativity and resiliency. . I’m taking my crayons back! Will you? 💛 Allison . Your favorite life coach. And if you want a coach and container that will give you permission to be your own expert and develop your OWN way.... maybe the SoulFULL Success Coaching Membership and community is right for you.

  • I wanted to share something really powerful with you from the book A Company of One. "Dean Becker, CEO of Adaptive Learning Systems, has been researching and developing programs around the idea of resiliency since 1997, his company found that the level of resilience a person exhibits determines their success in business far more than their level of education, training, or experience. Contrary to popular belief, resilience isn't something that only a select few are born with, it can most definitely be learned." Resilient people share 3 absolutely learn-able characteristics: 💛 An Acceptance of Reality 💛 Sense of Purpose 💛 Ability to Adapt Remember the magician you are. Remember the magic you hold. Remember your capacity to expand and that you are fucking resilient!
