Happy Monday!
Last week we blasted through our limiting beliefs and came up with a list of new, empowering ones, but what now? It’s not like you can just say, “Okay, these are my new beliefs!”.
Before I answer that, though, you know you gotta grab your notebook and spend the next 20 minutes laying the groundwork for having your best week ever.
🦋 Following the "Best Week Basics" is essential to having your best week ever. Use this time to really plan for the week ahead and think about what needs to happen for you to feel like you had a productive, fulfilling week.
🪞 Reflection: Reflect on last week. What went wrong? What went right? What can you celebrate? What can you try to do better this week?
✨ Intention: Set your intentions for this week. What needs to happen to ensure you have the absolute best week ever? Take a few minutes to do a brain dump and organize your to-do list if you feel overwhelmed.
📆 Time block: Review your calendar and make sure you have time blocked off to complete your most important and urgent tasks.
🔮 Every week we pull a tarot card to give us guidance for the week. Take what resonates and leave what doesn’t.

Week of August 26, 2024: The Empress
The Empress is the third Major Arcana card and is the embodiment of divine feminine energy!
This card portrays a maternal figure and is considered the source of life. It is rich with symbolism. Major themes associated with “The Empress” are fertility, abundance, nurturing, beauty, nature, creativity, and sensuality.
The Empress in its simplest translation signifies a strong connection with our femininity. It calls on us to create beauty in our life and connect with nature. Treat yourself to something that brings you joy. Pamper yourself and take time to relax. Get in touch with your sensuality. Ground yourself and enjoy the outdoors. Look around and take in all the beauty the world has to offer.
This may be a great time to start a new hobby, try a new look that makes you feel sexy, or find unique ways to express your creativity.
It can also be the perfect chance to travel!
The Empress being the Mother Archetype can also represent birth. Yes, this can be a literal pregnancy. It can also be metaphorical, such as the birth of a new idea or project, friendship, relationship, or the creation of something.
If pregnancy has been on your mind, then this could be your sign to start a family. If you are like me and that thought scares the hell out of you, then consider this a great opportunity to nurture any new ideas or projects that you come up with.
The Empress is a card of abundance. It encourages us to find a harmonious balance in our lives. Make sure you are healthy physically and mentally. Nurture the good qualities that you have. Be generous, compassionate, and kind to those around you. When you have positive thoughts then positive things begin to happen to your life.
🌙 The moon will continue moving through the waning phase. This is the time to release anything that no longer serves you, reflect on lessons learned, and give thanks. Just a heads up, the moon will also be in Cancer for three nights this week. For some, this may bring emotional fluctuation

Becoming ✨ HER ✨
Last week I shared my favorite limiting belief blaster exercise with you and promised to share some advice on how to anchor your new beliefs by embodying this version of yourself, because embodying your desired belief is a powerful way to reprogram your subconscious mind and achieve your goals.
By acting, thinking, and feeling like the person you want to become, you can start to attract the success you desire.
I like examples, so let’s say your limiting belief is that you believe making $10,000/month would be hard and take too much time away from your other work and/or family.
You worked through the limiting belief blaster workbook, and these are the NEW beliefs (step #7) you want to have about making that kind of money:
I believe making $10k/mo can be easy
I believe making $10k/mo doesn’t have to take a lot of time.
I believe people value my work and want to pay me.
I believe I am capable of earning $10k/month.
So how do you embody the version of yourself who is easily making $10,000 every month?
First, figure out exactly who that version of you is. Then, do something that “she” would do:
If you were bringing home $10,000 every month, what would change?
Maybe you’d outsource your housekeeping so you could use that time to work on your business. You could take action by researching and getting quotes.
How would you feel?
Would you be proud of yourself for achieving your goal? Embody being proud by celebrating your wins and sharing your success so other people can celebrate you, too.
How can you start behaving as if making $10k/month is already your reality?
Would you carry yourself differently? Dress differently? Wake up earlier? Be more confident? More organized?
What action can you take right now that aligns with these new behaviors?
How would you spend your $10,000 every month?
Would you save it, invest it, or use it to improve your life in some way? Can you spend time creating a budget or financial plan?
The key is to start where you are with what you have. Don't wait for everything to be perfect to start living as the “best” version of yourself. The ten-thousand-dollar you won’t magically be different from now-you.
The easiest way to block your blessings is to say “I’ll do X when Y happens.”
Do Y now and X will come!
