Transformation with Lions, and Tigers, and Bears...OH MY!



Transformation



Scary...exciting...powerful...Like lions and tigers and bears...oh, my!

Transformation can keep you from going into the forest of change.

We just wrapped up 6 months of transformation with the women who joined us in Woman on Fire : 7 Steps to Reignite Your Passion, Purpose and Play.  Each of the 6 months were filled with powerful one-on-one work with the women of Hot Pink YOUniversity.  The months held steps to contain the process of transformation.  Life isn't always like that, steps to transformations.

Sometimes transformation is like a butterfly, gently releasing from a tissue-like cocoon.  But, more often it is  like a lotus, surrounded by muck and mud, rising slowly through the ooze and emerging bright and brilliant, better than you were before.  Or, transformation is a wrecking ball, bashing out of nowhere, unexpected, unwelcome and with devastating outcomes.

We don't always get to choose what our transformation will be like.  Or, can we?

When these women chose to join the 6 month program, they raised their hand and said "YES" to transformation.  And, there were still wrecking balls and muck along the way, life is like that.  And yet, there was a container of safety and positivity along the way.  Having Hot Pink along for the transformations that take place is like having Dorey help you find Nemo....just keep swimming, you can do it, we believe in you.  

The program is not a safety net, cocooning you from life's inevitable muck and wrecking balls, the program invites you to face those challenges in the way that grows you.  A new YOU.  

And, it is powerful.

What we saw for these women in just 6 months, through illness, death of a loved one, major doubts, old stories and old habits...to perspective shifts, self-love and self encouragement, providing a powerful tribe of women to hold space and keep you swimming along the way.  Even if things get tough!

It was powerful for us as well to see what lotus emerged, or what was once wreckage become a beautiful new landscape.

Transformation is inevitable...how you do transformation and show up for it is all a choice.

Ann Soe and Christie Gause-Bemis are the women of Hot Pink YOUniversity.  They provide coaching, programs, events, retreats, and travel to support women through transformation.  Find out more at www.hotpinkyou.com

What is a Woman on Fire? And Does Everyone in Your Life Need to Be "On Board"?

The Woman on Fire Tribe Experience When we started this wild ride called Hot Pink YOUniversity, I think our intentions were the following:  to travel with women, create a retreat atmosphere from their daily lives to reset, transform and self-care, to send the message to women in a movement that pleasure is mandatory in their lives. We knew as women that this movement was important.  Pleasure was important. What has evolved since that original concept is not nearly the same as the original vision...its better! That is a Woman on Fire , or WOF as we love to refer to her in our tribe.  A WOF has a vision for her life, bigger than the one she is living right now.  And, she may or may not have those she loves in her life on board with that vision.  Whether others are on board is not nearly as important as whether that woman is on board with her vision and the possibilities it holds.  Having your partner, kids, friends, colleagues on board makes the...

It’s All About the Moments

Could Instead of Should It’s 5 am.  I am sleeping all warm and snug in my bed when I feel a touch on my arm and my sweetheart says, “Baby you gotta come see the sunrise over the lake.”   I have that moment of hazy hesitation having just been in a deep sleep, but my heart opens, I feel myself smile and I take the moment.  We walk silently together to our front deck and I suck in that deep breathe of awe at the amazing beauty of Mother Nature…there is something about the sun rising and setting over water that is magical!  The sky is an impressionist painting of wild pink, purple, peach, yellow and orange stretched as far as we can see.  We stand still for just a few quiet moments holding hands and taking it all in. “It is so beautiful!” I say.  “It is, he says as he takes leave to begin his day.  I stand there just a few moments longer, alone and acknowledging this moment.  My thoughts go deep…      I go to the impor...

Radical Self-Love: Part One of Four

Welcome to Part One of a Four Part Series about LOVE....Radical Self-Love!!! This is the season of love we are entering into...right?   February is all about Valentine's Day and being in love.   Walking into the grocery store or the clothing store or watching ads on television...it is all about love.   Red hearts, lingerie, chocolate candies, roses....Ah.....   All this love has to start somewhere, and that somewhere is YOU!  If you do not love yourself, how will others see you for the goddess you are?   This is the first of a four part series on Radical Self-Love. It all starts in the womb.   Warren Buffet was interviewed this past weekend on CBS this morning.   He was not born into his wealth, he created it.  And now, at 82 he is giving a lot of it away.   What does he attribute to his success?   When interviewed he said that it all began in the womb...with luck.   He was born a white male in the 1930's, not anot...
