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

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...

The Difference Between Holding and Hosting a Feeling

How Can We Host a Feeling and Not Let It Ruin Our Day? It was early morning, the night after the fight, and still a restlessness was there.  It was hard to imagine all the details of the fight, how it started, who said what.  But, oh, that feeling was still there.  Fresh. Raw. Tugging at the bedsheets to start afresh and dive back into the conflict.  Anger. Hurt. Resentment. Do you know that feeling?   It is a feeling that can make or break communication in a relationship.  Wake up fighting. Hold on and fume all morning. We can hold on to a feeling for a very long time.  The feminine brain is wired to have the memory storage capacity to do so...for days and for years. Holding on to a feeling, clasping it in righteous indignation, going over the argument in your mind about all the ways that you are justified to have this feeling. Whether it is anger, hurt, sadness, fear...these can all be permanent or temporary states of being...

Are You in Your Journey or on the Side Lines?

Women Who are in the Arena….I Applaud YOU! Brene Brown talks about the gift of vulnerability.  And on one of her talks she shares that there are those who are in the arena and those who are on the outside.  You know what I’m talking about? The arena where we try new things, take chances, take a risk. For many of us the chance is on loving again.  Or, the risk of starting our own business. Or, trying something new, like taking a class or hobby or sky diving...Yeah, that arena. The one that grows you and the one that leaves you vulnerable, on the stage, in front of the audience.  What Brene Brown talks about is that those that are in the audience or on the sidelines looking in have no right to judge, criticize, make fun of, or be less than supportive of those that are in the arena doing the hard stuff. If you are in the arena, be proud.  Hold your head high. Ignore the naysayers, their merely the audience of your life, but also of their own life as we...
