Feeling My Feelings Leads to

More Capacity to Love and Serve

Personal share. (I'll be sharing a shorter version on Instagram but here I want to share a bit more).

This past October my, dear husband, Greg, was diagnosed with cancer--multiple myeloma. 

To say that I was in shock would be an understatement. 

Greg has always been very healthy, and recent doctor appointments had declared him in great health.

There was just pesky blood work that wasn't right and eventually led to this diagnosis.

Although, I wanted to be in the, "f*** cancer mindset", it felt like a cannon ball had landed on my chest and there was no dislodging it. 

I knew from past challenges that the only way to the other side was through it, which meant feeling my feelings. 
 

Not drowning in them (although at times it felt like I was) but witnessing them and asking for help.

I was blessed to have a coach who created space for this.

One day as I apologize for crying in a group call, she said to me:

Lisa, what if you saw this moment, when you courageously ask for help, and share your feelings in front of all of us, as your most powerful moment. 

Even though part of me felt embarrassed by my public vulnerability, I knew she was right.

I’ve seen the powerful healing my clients experience when they allow themselves to be witnessed in this way. 

So, I let it flow.

As colleagues generously held space for me, I cried.

Greg and I cried together.

Walking down the beautiful streets here in Mexico, I’d suddenly be overtaken by grief, and I’d cry.

As I mediated in cathedrals, I’d cry some more. 

I was able to continue to coach my clients and teach my classes because in between my sessions I allowed the tears to flow. 

To be clear, there were also countless moments of joy, gratitude and even peace as I felt my Soul reassure me that Greg and I were Divinely protected, and that miracles and blessings surrounded us.  

But it was the feelings of sadness and shock, which I most resisted, that I needed to make space for. 

This journey I'm on with Greg, has taught me more than ever the power of our Soul AND the power of coaching. 

It's the ultimate training in leaning into my Soul's love and higher vision. 

Simultaneously, receiving help from my coach and coach colleagues has been invaluable. 

Now more than ever, I absolutely know the importance of coaching, of taking time to look within so that we can release the unnecessary and make space for healing. 
 

And, then, amidst all of this transformation, last month, another expansion happened--I witnessed my little granddaughter, Lila Emilia's, birth.

As I held her for the first time, my heart was woven back together in a powerful way.

The cannon ball finally lifted.  

I realized as I ended 2024 that I had MORE love to give not less.

I know this experience with Greg is not a linear journey. 

There will be more tears, and I'm sure many more beautiful, joyful moments as well. 

But this experience is teaching me to lean into my Soul’s infinite capacity more than ever before.

And I’m ready to be of GREATER service not less. 

Truly my Soul has assured me that this is a Breakthrough Year for me, and I am taking whoever wants to have their own amazing, inspired year along with me. 

So my dear, whatever you’re going through, whether it feels good or hard, I truly believe it's preparing you to give and receive more love.

But yes, let yourself feel your feelings.

There’s no rushing through that part.

And if you need help.

I’m here for you.

Love,

Lisa
