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

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...

Happiness in a Bottle

Have you ever participated in something that was so fun, that when you came away from it you felt on top of the world, elated, excited to be alive!!!?   Well, as I write this I am still picking the mud out of my ears and rubbing my sore but happy muscles from the Dirty Girl Wisconsin Run in Waukesha, Wisconsin, August 19, 2012.   What a fun, fabulous way to spend a weekend with your gal pals…while honoring a good cause like the American Breast Cancer Foundation.   This non-competitive, dirty 5k was incredible in the energy and positivity of the women who came to “run”…and the women from Hot Pink YOUniversity went from marvelous to muddy in about 10 minutes into the run, it was unavoidable fun! I have only had this grand elated feeling a few times in my life and I don’t know about you, but I want MORE of it!   In this ultra-serious, fast-paced, westernized culture we live in, we are busier with home- improvements than with self-improvements.   We get ca...

Radical Self-Love: Part Three of Four

Part Three of Four Parts on Radical Self-Love Give Yourself the Gift of Forgiveness I once did something in my life so bad, so unforgiving...even just thinking back to it, makes me shudder and ask myself, "What the hell was I thinking?!"   I mean, this behavior was so against my values, my philosophy of life, that it bolted me out of self-love into self-loathing for quite some time...won't even share what it is...that's how bad! We've all done some things in life that when we look back at the video of our lives...it makes us want to block that little chunk out.   Or, maybe we react with rationalization or justification to our deed, "Well, he....", "Well, I did that, but what she did was so much worse." or "I wouldn't have done that if....." .   Wouldn't it be a heck of a lot easier to just admit our mistake, ask for forgiveness and move on.   Time heals all wounds...even the wounds we create.   People do move o...
