Ready to become a Divine Rock Star?
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on February 1, 2012 - 9:18 am
Be honest. Do you have a BIG mission to share with the world in 2012? I know I do, and my clients do, too.
And we’re not alone. There are millions of brilliant women around the world who are feeling a
deep calling to step up and stake their claim in the world – in big, bold, audacious ways.
I don’t know about you, but I think that’s pretty rock star.
It’s also divine.
And that’s part of MY mission for 2012: To connect the power of that inner rock star who knows
she’s here to rock the stage (both online and off), get people on their feet, and into action AND
the power of that wise, knowing place inside that has a deeper mission and calling. It’s in the
divine space (I call it your Woohoo Within™) that we tune in and honor our mission. And it’s the
rock star who brilliantly, boldly, and audaciously delivers the message to the masses.
What if – in 2012 – these two parts of yourself started playing together?
What if your Divine Woohoo Within picked up a guitar (or drum set – my personal fave) and
started jamming with your Rock Star?
Together, imagine the music they could make! And how magnetizing their message would be.
And how the world would sit up and take notice because you can’t deny a Divine Rock Star when
she gets going…
What if you could become that Divine Rock Star, starting today?
What will change in your life and in the world around you when you start harnessing the power
of your mission-driven message for the masses, connecting it to that undeniable and influential
power of your rock star magnetism?
How would that change you?
How would that change your life, your business, your relationships?
And how could YOU change the world from this space of divinity and magnetism?
I don’t know about you, but I’m READY. And I invite you to join me, play along, and tune in to
YOUR Divine Rock Star.
Are you IN?
Here’s the first step: Stake your claim.
Easy enough, right?
In the last 6 weeks, both while in Paris and since I’ve been back, I’ve been tuning in to MY Divine
Rock Star. And here’s what she knows for sure…
(You might say this is my Divine Rock Star’s Manifesto. Feel free to create your own.)
As a Divine Rock Star…
•I’m DONE doing business in a way that doesn’t honor my inner and outer world.
•I’m no longer interested in sacrificing play and fun in the name of “business.”
•It’s no longer acceptable to play small, deny my mission, or follow someone else’s model
of how they “made it.”
•I declare today the day that I’m stepping forward, staking my claim as the Divine Rock
Star of Woohoo, Inc. and doing it MY way from a space of calm, play, love, and joy. (This
is a new space I’m discovering that’s far more powerful than any other creative space I’ve
ever inhabited.)
Go ahead, stake YOUR claim today. Create YOUR Divine Rock Star Manifesto and share it with
me on my Facebook fan page.
Next, it’s time to put an END to what no longer serves your Divine Rock Star.
Again, here’s my manifesto. Create your own today, too…
As a Divine Rock Star, I am ready to STOP:
•Doing business someone else’s way
•Apologizing for my inner rock star who really just wants to play, have fun, and change the
world
•Denying my inner divinity
•Throwing myself under the bus in the name of business (i.e. not getting enough sleep,
not eating right, not exercising, not making time for self care, etc.)
Whew! It feels so powerful and peaceful to say what no longer serves me and really own, honor,
and act accordingly in that divine rock star space.
Next, it’s time to stake your claim for what you DO want…
(Write your own list down, following my example here.)
As a Divine Rock Star, I am READY to START:
•Creating daily connection time between my Divine Woohoo Within and my magnetizing
Rock Star so we’re always in alignment
•Practicing remarkable self care daily, feeding, resting, hydrating, and honoring my body
(I’ve already lost 13 pounds by loving myself more and feeding my body from this new
loving space!)
•Doing business MY way, in a way that supports and celebrates who I am and what I
REALLY am here to do (Gone are the days of doing what I think I SHOULD be doing.)
•Connecting with women around the world who are ready to align THEIR mission with
their messaging and become undeniably influential
As a Divine Rock Star, what are YOU ready to START creating for yourself in 2012?
I invite you to join me on this journey. And the journey starts with writing YOUR Divine Rock Star
Manifesto. Write it just for you, not from a space of scarcity or panic or fear, but from a place of
clarity, calm, peace, and power. THAT’S where your Divinity and your Rock Star meet and play
together.
Take your time with your manifesto. You deserve it.
And then, if you feel like it, be sure to share it with me on my Facebook fan page, where I’ll be
sharing daily tips on how to love, honor, and play with YOUR Divine Rock Star in 2012.
And be sure to tune in to Woohoo Radio today at 2pm Pacific, where I’ll be sharing more tips
LIVE on how you can celebrate your Divine Rock Star. In case you missed the last few shows,

The Energetics Of Everyday Life: Awareness
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on January 25, 2012 - 1:32 pm
In my mission to help you make 2012 The Year of YOU, I’m thrilled to share this rock star article by Woohoo Radio guest Sundara Delphini on The Energetics of Everyday Life and how AWARENESS is key to rocking it out of the park in 2012…
And be sure to tune in to Woohoo Radio today to find our how you can use AWARENESS to become Joyfully Aligned.
What does energy mean to you and your everyday life? How does energy affect you on a daily basis?
Are you interacting with your personal energy to create the day, the health, and the life that you want?
When I talk of energy, I’m not speaking of electricity, satellite signals, or radio waves, etc… without which many of us would not be able to do our regular day, I am speaking of the Energy that precedes all the above mentioned – I mean the type of Energy that truly makes you who you are today.
Quantum physicists have proven that everything in our world is energy and exists in wave-like forms called frequencies. Everything from the seen to the unseen has its own unique frequency. Not only do our skin, bones, organs and cells have their own unique frequencies, but so do our thoughts and feelings. From the densest level to the most ethereal level, Energy makes up all aspects of who we are.
Contained within this energy/frequency is information. Long gone, is the belief that the space between the electrons that make up who we are, is empty. The space between electrons is filled with information rich frequencies, and these frequencies are ever-changing; fluctuating with every thought, action, molecular change that is taking place within us. We are, energetically speaking, a conscious, complex, dynamic matrix of information rich frequencies. This energetic matrix contains the physical mental, emotional & spiritual aspects of who we are. Like our finger prints, each individual has his/her own unique frequency signature.
You may be saying “Great, but how does this affect me and my everyday life?” Your awareness of your personal energy and your choice as how to use of it can have a tremendous impact on the quality of your life. Want to feel less stressed, less over whelmed? Want to get along better with those you live with or work with? Want to enjoy better health, better moods, more stamina, and more clarity? Want your supplements to be more effective? Want potentially difficult situations to turn out better? Want to bring healthy, happy relationships to yourself? Want to draw more positive life experiences to yourself on a daily basis?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then this series of articles is for you. I am going to share with you some simple yet profoundly effective tools that help you make the best use of the Energetics you have at your disposal everyday -24/7. Worried that you may have to buy something, or attend a workshop, or have to enlist friends and family? Relax! The best part is you already have the resources you need. You just need to know how to better utilize what you already have, and this article is going to give you several tips on how to do just that. The energy contained within your being is amazingly powerful, and learning to be mindful as to how you use it can be life altering. You can use the Energetics of Everyday life to create a better life for yourself!
Okay let’s get to it.
AWARENESS is the first step.
Becoming more aware of the energy within you and around you and its effects in your everyday life is the first step in creating effective, lasting change.
Once you have an increased Awareness, then it is easier to learn how to shift your focus & better utilize your energy. Energy is going on within you and all around you whether you are aware of it or not. As a conscious human being you are an energetic being constantly interacting within and with your environment.
Some examples: Have you ever “felt” someone looking at you, even if you couldn’t see them initially? You “felt” something that made you instinctively turn towards them and then you noticed they were looking at you? Their focus on you created their energy to interact with yours and you felt this and reacted to it. We aren’t taught about energy interactions in school nor is it talked about much in these terms, yet it is such a large part of our everyday life. Have you ever wanted to talk with someone, yet when you started to approach them it didn’t feel quite right so you decided it was not the time to do it? Or maybe you felt that bit of hesitation but ignored it and went ahead anyway and then regretted it because the conversation didn’t go well. Or you were hesitant to have a conversation with someone, yet were drawn to have it anyway and the conversation ended up going really well? Have you ever been drawn to go out of your way to make conversation with a total stranger and then be pleasantly surprised by where the conversation took you? Have you ever walked into a room and instinctively avoided someone? Whether you knew it or not, you were feeling, evaluating and responding to the energy of others.
Have you ever gotten up late or on the wrong side of the bed and then told yourself it was going to be a “bad” day and then it was? Have you ever been nervous or anxious about a situation, worried a lot about it and then had your worries come true? Have you ever felt ill and talked a lot about it and then noticed you actually felt worse after talking about it? Have you ever woken up super excited about your day and told yourself it was going to be a great day, and then had a magical day – where traffic seemed to cooperate with you, parking spaces opened up, sales clerks went out of their way to help you, other people made a point to smile at you or engage in positive conversations, or unhappy people you usually had to deal with simply left you alone? Have you ever been worried about a situation and really told yourself it would be alright and then surprisingly it was? Have you ever felt ill and been pleasantly distracted by something or someone and then noticed you actually felt better or at least less ill? These are examples of you pre-paving and creating experiences by the energy you are leading with and focusing on/intending.
Have you ever found yourself taking a different route or doing something in a different way, not knowing exactly why, yet then experienced a positive outcome – finding the something you forgot you needed or running into the exact person who you needed to talk with, etc…? Have you ever been looking for or shopping for something not knowing where it was, yet instinctively going to exactly where it was? Have you ever thought a lot about a person and then they contact you out of the blue? Have you ever thought about buying a specific type of car and then suddenly see them everywhere, much more often than you did before you started thinking about buying one? These are all examples of you using the energy & information within you to create and/or interact with your everyday life.
Most of us do our creating and interacting by default – reacting to whatever life seems to put in front of us as it is put in front of us. Wouldn’t it be nice to consciously use our personal energy to purposefully impact our life in a positive way? Awareness of our personal energy and where we focus it, is the first step to doing this.
We are energy and so are our actions, thoughts, beliefs & feelings. So that means all of our actions, conversations, wants, needs, fears, doubts, emotions are energetic in nature and have their own frequencies associated with them yet are contained within us. We are made up of all these energies/frequencies. Energy is flexible, ever changing and always available to you through your own thoughts, beliefs, wants, feelings, and actions. There is a simple yet profoundly direct transformative relationship between changing your energy and changing your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, words & actions. Change your thought – your energy changes. Change your energy – your thoughts change. Change your action – your energy changes. Change your energy – your actions change, etc…. This awareness leads to being better able to make conscious choices. Conscious choices allows you to Change your focus >> change your energy >> change the outcome on a daily basis >> change your life.

3 Keys to Making 2012 The Year Of YOU
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on January 18, 2012 - 11:00 am
Did you make New Year’s resolutions for 2012?
Whether you resolved to lose weight or find Mr. Right or make more money or go to the gym 5 days a week or take a step forward in your business and hire that coach or assistant or other team player, or finally get your profile up on that online dating site…
It doesn’t matter what you resolved on New Year’s Eve.
What matters is whether you’ve already resolved yourself to utter failure…
Of if you realized that resolutions are fleeting and what’s really required is a REVOLUTION.
Not to get all Oprah on you, but here’s what I know for sure…
No one creates sustainable success, lasting love, permanent weight loss, a new belief system, healthier boundaries, a better sex life, or becomes more financially fit with just a resolution.
The resolution is your first step.
What comes next is the revolution.
Are you ready to create YOUR revolution in 2012?
Then it’s time to cultivate 3 important success behaviors.
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting a lot of successful people over the years. From Chicken Soup for the Soul’s Mark Victor Hansen to Sex & the City’s Candace Bushnell to top casting agents and successful film producers.
And I’ve worked with some incredible coaching clients – both in helping some find love and in helping others build a beautiful buzz worthy brand and business.
With each successful person I meet, I discover they possess 3 common success traits:
They stake their claim
Successful people (in love, life, and business) consciously DECIDE what they want. My clients do this all the time – they DECIDE that they want MORE – whether that more is more visibility, more clients, more money, more fans or followers, more opportunities, etc. In making that initial decision, they start the process of becoming their new self, the person who has what it takes to be who they need to be and achieve what they want to achieve. All successful people possess this ability.
They’re willing to do what it takes to reach their goal
Successful people are willing to be consistent, even when it gets really hard, painful, challenging, when doubts creep in, or fear or scarcity. They keep their head high – not down. They are firmly facing their fears and marching into their brilliant futures, one step at a time.
They’re willing to fail
Successful people don’t see failure as an end. They see it as a beginning. They learn their lessons and are willing to change directions and move on quickly. That’s KEY.
Now that you know these 3 key traits of successful people, are you willing to adopt and cultivate them?
Once upon a time, I wasn’t willing to be successful.
I liked ideas. I talked about my ideas. But I didn’t take action.
Ideas were exciting, full of possibility.
Taking action was scary. And might mean failure.
Sound familiar?
It wasn’t easy stepping out of possibility and into probability.
It wasn’t easy the first time I sat down at my computer to write my first book and all that stared back at me was a blank computer screen.
It wasn’t easy knowing I wanted to find the love of my life and yet my past told me I was nothing but a romantic failure.
It wasn’t easy coming home from my first book tour and realizing I was broke.
I only changed when staying the same was more painful than taking that first step.
Will today be YOUR first step?
In 2012, I’ve got a clear mission.
I want to help make 2012 the Year of YOU.
I want to help you take those first baby steps, stare at those blank computer screens, step out into unknown territory and build your beautiful buzz worthy business or create the lasting love you desire and deserve.
I want to help you step into your spotlight, stake your claim, and consistently take action to achieve your dreams, goals, and deepest desires.
And I want to do the Woohoo Wiggle with you when you’ve pushed through a big block or created a life or business that rocks.
But I can’t do it alone.
Are YOU ready to make 2012 the year of YOU?
Your first step is simple.
Join my new Facebook fan page where I’ll be sharing rock solid resources for a rock star 2012:

New Year’s Resolution or 2012 Revolution?
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on December 30, 2011 - 6:37 am
With 2012 literally around the corner, are you scrambling to come up with lofty new years resolutions?
Or are you prepping for a revolution?
The truth is, most people make grand resolutions on New Years Eve and within 10 days, those goals, dreams, and ideas have fallen by the wayside in favor of old patterns, habits, and comfort.
While there’s nothing wrong with making resolutions to eat better, exercise more, make more money, catapult your business, or find lasting love in 2012, if you REALLY want to experience radical change in any area of your life, resolutions may not be enough.
It may be time for a REVOLUTION.
More precisely, it may be time for you to create revolutionary action in 2012.
Here’s how:
Start by writing down those resolutions. Come up with at least 3-5.
They may include:
1. Write and publish my book
2. Become a household name in all the right households
3. Hit 6 figures in my business
4. Meet and create lasting love with my perfect partner
5. Go to France for a month
Be sure to include the biggest goals you have for yourself, ones that will make you do the Woohoo wiggle when you attain them.
Next, write down 3 action steps you can take to make each of those resolutions real in 2012.
For example, if your resolution is to write and publish your book, one action step will be to carve out time on your calendar – even if it’s just 45-90 minutes a few days a week – to write. (This is how I’ve written 5 books on tight deadlines!)
Or, if your resolution is to find lasting love, one action step may be to work with a stylist to rock what you’ve got and feel good about your body and style every day. (Trust me, this attracts men like candy to a baby!)
Next, ask yourself who how you might sabotage your progress when the going gets tough. For example, if your goal is to hit 6 figures in your business and you decide that the best approach is to generate $10,000 a month in revenue and by March you’ve only bought in $6,000 a month, how will you talk yourself out of giving up and instead stay in action towards your goals?
And finally, ask yourself who do you need to become to create revolutionary action in your life?
Do you need to be stronger, more disciplined, more balanced, get more rest, hire a coach, exercise daily, track your money better, etc?
How you show up for yourself on a daily basis will determine whether your resolutions go out the window on January 10th or if you stay committed and take revolutionary action all year long.
Even if you take just 1 action today towards your 2012 revolution, why not start by writing down what you REALLY want to create for yourself in the coming year? Give yourself permission to create the life and business you desire and deserve, not just some carbon copy of what someone else has or does that looks good?
I invite you to make 2012 revolutionary, on whatever level you’re ready to play at. I plan on making it my best year yet. And I look forward to sharing the journey with you.
Here’s to YOUR revolutionary success!
4 Success Secrets of Powerhouse Women
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on December 13, 2011 - 11:18 am
Can you FEEL it? There’s something electric in the air right now. It’s powerful, profound, and purposeful.
It’s the energy of possibility as we enter the home stretch of 2011 and look towards 2012. Whether you accomplished all of your goals and dreams this year or not, give yourself some time this month to slow it down, rejoice, renew, and reflect.
There are lessons to be learned from 2011, both from our greatest successes and in our disappointing failures.
We can only glean those lessons when we make the time for reflection. Be sure to give yourself that gift of time this month. Trust me, it will forever change your trajectory of success in 2012.
This past weekend, I attended an incredible event called HerVision2012, put on by my brilliant friends Christina Dunbar of The Power Goddess and Tanya Paluso of Tribal Truth.
I was invited to speak on the Powerhouse Panel with 3 other phenomenal women.
But I was also there to RECEIVE.
That’s been one of my goals for 2011. To give myself permission to receive with the same generosity that I give to others.
And boy did I receive! Like Woohoo Weekend 2011, HerVision2012 had 2 powerful components – 1 that focused on our inner game, and 1 that celebrated our outer game.
For the majority of the day, we worked on that inner game. We were treated to sound healings, chanted, visualized, celebrated, and reflected. It was amazing!
In the afternoon, myself and my fellow Powerhouse Panelists shared success secrets for cultivating that outer game. I was blown away by the brilliance of my fellow panelists. As I reflect on the weekend, I recognized 4 valuable lessons that came out of the experience. In hopes of helping YOU become a true powerhouse in 2012, here they are…
1. Be Willing To Be Seen
Visibility. I’ve been talking about it a lot this year. And I’ll continue championing the power of visibility in the year to come. It’s an integral part of the work I do with my clients as I help them hit their brand bullseye, become buzz worthy, and broadcast BIGGER. While you may crave success, recognition, and relevance, there may be some part of you that fears stepping out of the shadows and into your spotlight.
Maybe it’s fear of being judged. Fear of failure. Fear of hurting someone you love by becoming more successful. Or fear of making a fool of yourself. I get it. I’ve been there. AND I stepped into my spotlight anyway. My mission at Woohoo, Inc. is to give every individual I encounter permission to be themselves without apology and to share their innate brilliance with the world more generously. And that starts with being willing to be seen, heard, celebrated, and even criticized. Ultimately, you are simply the best messenger the universe could find to deliver your message. So why not start broadcasting BIGGER?
Have More Fun
Being an entrepreneur is amazing. It’s also extraordinarily challenging, excruciatingly painful at times, and not for the faint of heart. Yes, it’s hard. But it’s also FUN. As my assistant MK left the office yesterday for the final time in 2011 (The Hubs and I leave for Paris for a month tomorrow morning), I told her this: “Rest up. Build your stamina. 2012 is going to be rock star. AND…we’re bringing back the fun!” Mind you, MK already thinks her job is fun. But truth be told, in hindsight, I recognize that I’ve sacrificed daily fun in the name of business. Not anymore. In 2012, I am committed to bringing back the fun to my daily life. It makes me a better wife, a better boss, a better coach, a better business owner, and a better human being. How can YOU have more fun in 2012?
Fail Faster
Having worked with and met hundreds of business owners in the last few years, I can tell you that the #1 thing that keeps people playing and staying small is fear. Specifically, fear of failure. The truth is, ALL successful business owners fail, often on a daily basis. But the key is to fail FASTER. If you knew you didn’t have to be perfect, what would you attempt? If you knew that with great risk comes great reward, what would you try? If you knew that failure was inevitable and welcomed it with open arms, how quickly could you fail and move on? Donald Trump, Oprah, Bill Clinton, Beyonce, Steve Jobs, and Ellen Degeneres have all failed miserably. And they learned the art of failing faster and moving on. You can, too.
Get A Mentor
How do you get record results in record time? You don’t try to do it all yourself, figure it out on your own, or waste precious time trying to learn skills that you don’t excel at. You get yourself a mentor and a support system and you take daily action in the direction of your goals, vision, and dreams. People may call you crazy. They may judge you, question you, criticize you. But if you’re REALLY ready to rock it out of the park in 2012, you’ll enlist the help of a mentor who can show you the most direct route to success. I did it. And some of my most successful friends and peers have done it. You can do it, too.
So there you have it. 4 simple steps you can take in 2012 to become a powerhouse of success. Which ones will you implement, starting this week?

Is It Time For YOU To Come Out Of The Closet?
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on November 8, 2011 - 8:00 am
We all have closets. Each and every one of us. These closets keep us confined, playing small, and in general remaining a well kept secret from the world.
- As a teen, I lived in a closet of fear, insecurity, and self loathing that was so powerful I turned to food for comfort and control.
- When I was 22, I was living with the most physically perfect man I’d ever met. And I was hiding in a closet of shame that he was controlling and abusive.
- When I was 30, I lived in a closet of shame and blame, stuck in a dream-job-turned-nightmare, engaged in yet another dead end relationship with Mr. Wrong, wondering what was WRONG WITH ME.
There was nothing wrong with me except…I wasn’t living and speaking my truth.
I was living a lie, and living in the closet. It wasn’t until I decided to burst through my closet doors, speak my truth that said, This is NOT the life I signed up for and that changes TODAY! That anything and everything changed.
Is it time for YOU to come out of YOUR closet?
You aren’t meant to be the world’s best kept secret.
In fact, you’re actually here to share your Woohoo with the world. And you’re the only one who can be, do, and share the Woohoo that YOU do.
So how do you do that?
It starts with bursting through your closet doors.
The good news is you don’t have to do it alone. On this week’s show, my guest is an incredible facilitator in helping men AND women come out of their self imposed closets – in love, life, and business – and step into living your full and fabulous truth.
Meet Rick Clemons, The Coming Out Coach
In 2000, Rick was…
- Married to an amazing, beautiful woman
- Father of two incredible girls
- Thriving as a global warrior in his career
He was also living a lie as a “closeted gay man.”
Deep down, Rick knew he was gay. But fear of declaring his sexuality gripped him so tighly that he remained a closeted gay man for decades.
Today, Rick is partnered to a wonderful man, still a father to 2 fantastic young ladies, relishing in a healthy relationship with his ex-wife, and living his ultimate truth by helping others – both gay men and straight women – step out, step up, and step into living their truths.
His mission is to help you step out of the closet that you find yourself trapped inside – love, life, career, self – and do it without regrets, shame, or guilt. What you’ll discover is, the instant you decide to STOP hiding and START living your truth, the more your life expands. The deconstruction of who “you’re not” begins and the illumination of “who you are” takes center stage.
On Woohoo Radio, Rick’s going to share what gay men and powerful women have in common and how they can stake their claim for living more profound, passionate, and purpose-filled lives.
If you feel like you may be playing small in some area of your life, join Rick and I on Wednesday for a fun and freeing conversation about shaking free of our self imposed closets and coming out as the extraordinary individuals we all are.
Join us on Woohoo Radio LIVE on Wednesday, November 9th at 2pm Pacific for a revealing conversation about how today can be the last day you play and stay small.
Be sure to join the live tweetcast on Twitter using the hashtag #woohooradio.

Do You Have Permission To Be YOU?
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on November 7, 2011 - 6:25 pm
With the days getting shorter, the weather cooler (or downright chilly depending on where you live), and the holidays approaching, I’ve been slowing it down, tuning in, and LISTENING.
I’ve also been hearing from so many of the amazing individuals who attended Woohoo Weekend and they’re all saying the same thing…
“Thank you for giving me permission to be me.”
Honestly, this comment takes me by surprise. And it humbles me.
I didn’t know so many people in the world DID NOT feel like they had permission to be themselves without apology.
So as you head into your weekend, simply ask yourself…
Have I granted myself permission to fully, wholly, 200% be ME?
If the answer’s yes, congrats!
This is where our brand and life bullseyes lie – in our ability to own, celebrate, and share ourselves and our gifts freely and generously with the world around us.
When you feel free to share yourself – who you REALLY are, warts and all, rock bottom AND rock star — that’s when you create the opportunity to change the world as only YOU can!
And this is what I saw over and over at Woohoo Weekend. People being willing to reveal themselves for who they REALLY are.
Can I share 2 quick stories from Woohoo Weekend with you that perfectly illustrate the POWER of owning, celebrating, and sharing who you REALLY are?
My husband (aka The Hubs)is a total rock star in my book. He’s funny, smart, kind, philosophical, and geniune. However, he’s always decided WHO got to see the real him. From the day we met, I got to see those parts of him. But we’d be at a party and I’d look over and see him standing in a corner, arms folded, NOT sharing those amazing parts of himself. It used to frustrate and confuse me, AND he asked me to honor that this was his way of being in the world.
Well, something in The Hubs shifted recently. When he told me he wanted to attend Woohoo Weekend as a participant, I was floored. When he showed up on Saturday, shared authentically with the entire room for 2 days, and even led the room in a dance party conga line on Sunday, I was blown away. This was the REAL him on full display. No hiding, just genuine and generous sharing. Wow!
When I asked him later what caused him to want to share himself more fully, he said, “Baby, I’ve been watching you. I paid attention. You tell your clients that when they’re ready to broadcast BIGGER, they need to show up differently and share freely.”
Wow! I have known for years all the reasons my husband is perfect for me. In that moment, I realized one of the best ways I’m perfect for him. In being his wife, I have inspired him to step into living out loud as his true self, rock bottom to rock star.
Can I get a Woohoo!?
My second story is about a beautiful, intelligent, shy woman who came to Woohoo Weekend and sat in the back of the room on Saturday. In the afternoon, she shyly approached, introduced herself, and told me she was READY to own, celebrate, and share her Woohoo with the world.
On Sunday morning, she pulled me aside, told me she was deathly afraid of public speaking, but that she’d written a poem about Woohoo Weekend and wanted to share it with the room.
I invited her on stage where she read the most heartfelt, clever, brilliant poem about her experience at Woohoo Weekend.
Her voice didn’t shake. Her words resonated with everyone in the room. And when she was done, the entire audience gave her a standing ovation.
That woman is now a client of mine. I’m spending the day with her today, helping her discover her brand bullseye, turn her inspired mission into masterful messaging and a business plan, and create a plan for broadcasting bigger so she can share herself freely and generously and change the world as only she can.
Woohoo Weekend revealed a powerful truth to me: That I am here to show YOU the way to celebrating yourself, empowering you to fully celebrate and share your innate gifts with the world, and broadcast BIGGER so you can magnetize money, opportunities, relationships, and happiness to you.
Again, can I get a Woohoo!?
And again, I ask you…have you given yourself permission to be YOU?
What would change in your life if you fully owned, honored, and celebrated who you’re meant to be?
For the remainder of 2011, I’m committed to leading the way for all of us to do this. I hope you’ll join my mission and spread the word.
