Something has piqued your curiosity in a fabulous way. Your soul is cracking open with a new idea, plan, or dream that you can’t stop thinking about. It keeps you up at night with its spirited nudging and freaks you out during the day because it’s so scary and exciting all at once. You start with simple, playful, harmonious turtle steps and visualizations to kindly invite your imaginings into reality. Learn fun ways to bulldoze obstacles and fears along the way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4e6282a9e0284b154763b4/1539725142713-T5JVQ2ATJSGNLF7BRRE8/the+collector.jpg Archetype types - The Artist Summon the mighty creative forces that dwell deep within. Maybe so deep you can barely feel them at this point in time, but you long for a life filled with fiery creative passion and intense self-expression. Your true self feels as though it’s banging on your inner walls to be released. Discover your own unique “voice” using writing and visual arts to hone in on your intended medium and bring your personal expression to all aspects of your life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4e6282a9e0284b154763b4/1539724715206-JSB9MV1YSU5VBKMWXM10/the+graffiti+tree.jpg Archetype types - The Lover This is a brand new inner life that exists inside the life you already have – it involves cultivating more “positive” feeling states, finding peace with “negative” feeling states, and wonderful improvements in relationships with yourself and others. You’ve fallen in love with yourself and your existing life! As the romance blooms, your life begins to sound more like love poem than a hate speech. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4e6282a9e0284b154763b4/1539465352741-ORT861OEQF0V116QUAB9/Wild-Haired-Inventor.jpg Archetype types - The Wild Haired Inventor You’ve sprouted a wild hair (or maybe a full head of wildness) and are absolutely itching for a specific change.

You’ll come alive almost effortlessly as you adjust your body compass to guide you even one degree off the current course. Embody ease and feel the flow of life as it unfolds for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4e6282a9e0284b154763b4/1539725184291-LL0SCDN6DACK0MGEL6X4/the+shaman.jpg Archetype types - The Shaman Become your own emotional and physical healer through mind-body techniques, using positive psychology to signal healing, and even change your gene responses. Embrace the light and shadow in you, learn how to honor the entire spectrum of “positive” to “negative” emotions, and sky-rocket your emotional intelligence (EQ), intuitive wildness, and capacity for love and acceptance toward all sentient beings. Become a living, breathing medicine to the dis-eased global culture and radiate your healing gifts to those around you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4e6282a9e0284b154763b4/1539725043523-F36LI5LXV7R0YYDIOCMT/navigating+mythland.jpg Archetype types - The Magician On the Magician’s path, you are awakening, finally noticing your own power, and ready to stand in the foundation of strength that you’ll build a new life upon. Side-effects may include radical self-acceptance and unconditional self-love, beautiful new relationships, ultimate clarity, a spontaneous knowing of your next career change, planning a dream trip, and consistently tapping into your inner well of creativity and wisdom. You’ll know you’re up for the complete rewrite of your story if you’ve ever: · Looked in your closet and asked yourself, “whose clothes are these!?” · Become complacent, numb, or miserable in your current job, relationship, and location. · Noticed your body has waged a war on you, becoming sick or painful (depression, back pain, autoimmune disorders, etc). · Get struck with intense urges to self-destruct, fake your own death, “burn it all down” or flee your current life. https://www.wild-hair-ventures.com/stirring-change-1 daily 0.75 2018-10-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4e6282a9e0284b154763b4/1539789353762-NR914F53D08F2IHJIKSU/paper+wings+copy.jpg Stirring Change - Breaking Free from Story Being in and out of therapy for years without finding relief, Cassie had become entrenched in her story. Her anxiety and depression had crippled her energy stores and she was struggling to get through everyday life. She had no confidence in her own ability to create positive change in her circumstances when it came to her relationships at work and home. WHAT WE DID: We challenged her limiting beliefs to get her in touch with the immediate changes she needed to create in her life. She became clear about which conversations needed to happen, which behaviors she knew weren’t serving her that had to go, and how she truly felt about people and situations. We worked with her partner to emphasize the short-term solutions that would be implemented and get his support in order to initiate change for the long term. She reported that coaching was more effective than all the therapy and counseling she’d received, and she was feeling happy and empowered. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4e6282a9e0284b154763b4/1539789310964-B6CHRKO7M7MTLORSPC0L/rose+%26+honeybee.jpg Stirring Change - Self-love is HOT Samantha had waged an internal war with the different parts of herself. Shots were fired and blows landed - wounds came in the form of self-deprecation, emotionally abusive self-talk, and dangerous bottling up of emotions and truths. Her mind was divided by guilt and shame. She had truly lost touch with the champion inside who she thought she lost due to aging. In addition, she seemed to be attracting people into her life who would abuse her in much the same way, which reinforced her limiting beliefs that she was worthless and deserved to be unhappy. WHAT WE DID: We united the parts of Samantha to align with her essential self. She utilized tools for self-love and acceptance and began a practice of offering unconditional love and support to herself, and to connect to the parts of her that were strong, empowered, feisty, and brilliant. She began following her heart and trusting her own intelligence. Her confidence returned and she finished projects and began viewing herself in a much more adoring light. Major life decisions were finalized with love and she stopped letting fear and negative self-talk drag her through a life she didn’t enjoy. Along with self-love comes creativity, trust, and resourcefulness. Not to mention a deeper ability to extend love to others. All the sudden things fell into place, an ease returned to her life, and she stopped caring what others think about her choices because she is now being led by love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4e6282a9e0284b154763b4/1539789278356-Q15K6YQYDNK4HILZ22B8/feminine+wild.jpg Stirring Change - Living with Intention Kathy called with major life changes going on: a relocation to another country for her spouse’s career (which meant leaving her own job), the loss of a dear family member, and an onset of highly distracting back pain. She was spending a lot of energy trying not to feel her emotions and was very confused about what actions to take. Now that her back was acting up she decided to take physical rest, so she had much more time to stew over her problems and she wasn’t getting the stress release of regular exercise. Decisions she needed to make seemed impossible, time was running out, and she was flipping back and forth through possibilities without being able to land on any single option. Every option to her felt like the wrong choice. The universe seemed to be dragging her forward without her permission and she felt trapped and devastated about the conditions of her own life. WHAT WE DID: Once she was able to explore her true feelings, the messages from her higher self began to arrive. She connected to her truth and landed on exactly what she needed to do and how to open herself to accepting what came next. The future became a friend, instead of a scary monster. She became empowered to take action and realized the power she did have to control her own life. After opening up to her partner and getting clear on what she needed in order to be happy, she abandoned the victim role and became her own hero. As she tackled getting another job in her new city, another opportunity arose, then a world of possibilities opened up again and she became indecisive once more. We worked to calibrate her body compass and used metaphor visualizations to help her get clarity on her desired feeling states for the present and future. She’s now moving forward with the guidance of her intuitive self and is exploring (with curiosity and enthusiasm, rather than fear and doubt) new dreams about a future that is much more in line with what will bring her best gifts into the world. All this with newfound courage and belief in her own wisdom and capabilities. We got her setup with stress management and mind-body techniques to reduce her physical symptoms to the point that she was able to move and lift heavy objects again without any discomfort. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4e6282a9e0284b154763b4/1539789278982-CUVXWXE9HSYLJVD2B6LE/here+in+my+mind.jpg Stirring Change - Nurturing Inner Wisdom About to graduate from college, Jen was excited yet totally lost on what to do next with a new career and how to manage her relationships upon her return to her hometown. Many fears and limiting beliefs were ruling her life and preventing her from connecting to her powerful higher self. Old attachments to an outdated identity enslaved her in the past and she was having trouble viewing herself through the lens of her present-day self; a bright, optimistic, and talented young woman ready to emerge as a new professional. Her deep desires to make a difference and change the world were being choked off by uninvestigated thinking and a shackled mindset. Strong yet highly sensitive, this beautifully empathic woman was longing to manage her intense and sometimes terrifying experience of the world with the momentum stirring inside of her that screamed, “Go! You can do this!” WHAT WE DID: Helped her get acquainted with her body compass and taught her how to tap into her inner wisdom through the power of tuning into her body sensations. Explored her deepest beliefs and fears to shine light on the real myth/truth of them. She absolutely blossomed, learned to trust her own knowing, love herself in spite of “imperfections”, and embraced her emotions as invaluable messages that can inform her rather than scaring or upsetting her. She wanted tools to use to maintain a lifestyle full of self-care and time for herself and to embody and preserve the positive changes she felt while being on her own. She found inspiration, bravery and eagerness to move forward and create the best possible life for herself. I’m excited to witness her forward movements and whole heartedly believe in her ability to change the world! https://www.wild-hair-ventures.com/our-team daily 0.75 2018-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b4e6282a9e0284b154763b4/1544233977981-FXKEZ80I316WSF4P95ZI/-0193+%283%29.jpg Our Team - Betty Gilbert Today, I live by the mantra, “I have no idea what I’m gonna get up to today.
