The Sacred Exit / Doors

Last Friday, I took a leap. I quit my job. And I can’t wait to see all the amazing things that unfold now.
I have been a self-employed Medical Exercise Trainer for 7 years and a Certified Personal Trainer for 17 years. In the beginning, I loved the work. As time went on, I realized I’d outgrown the role and the industry, yet I continued in the field because working as a trainer allowed me the freedom to make my own schedule, make a decent income working part time and, most importantly, invest in time with my growing children.
Investing in time with my kids is a major requirement for “work-life balance” – it’s nonnegotiable. I spent much of my daughter’s early years moving through the undergraduate and graduate program process, then working day and night shifts daily as a new personal trainer. Working part-time as a trainer allowed me ample time to be with her and her brothers (the 2 still at home at the time). However, there came a point when even the flexibility wasn’t enough to dull the steady hum of my soul’s call to move away from training.
Investing time in work that doesn’t consistently satisfy my soul has rarely been an option for me. I have always taken jobs that I enjoyed and looked forward to going to. So, to feel like I was dragging myself to work every day and forcing myself through each session was an unfamiliar, agonizing tether on my soul.
The constant feeling of dread at the thought of training clients certainly lowered my vibration. I was not living in alignment with my highest good and it showed up in my life as: fewer client bookings, clients abruptly ending their contracts, clients attempting to negotiate my rate, and clients refusing to pay on time. These issues did not exist before I fell out of love with the work, before my energy shifted and I had to cajole my body into making the hour-long drive to the community I worked in.
Basically, the universe was responding to my desire to leave training by clearing the path for me to go - by making it nearly impossible for me to stay. Soon enough, I wasn’t training enough clients to cover even my basic bills and, finally, I had to let it go.
Last Friday, I said goodbye to an 11 year career as a full time personal trainer.
What a relief.
There are so many lessons to learn from this experience. Like,
what happens when you don’t follow your intuition or
how fear can keep you stuck or
how powerful our subconscious thoughts are (and how they shape our every day experiences) or
the consequences of not living in alignment with your highest good or
what happens when you stay too long in a place you no longer belong…
Over the past 3 years, I’ve been growing my mediumship and intuitive services business alongside working as a trainer and I realize now that the low vibe energy I experienced and expended as a trainer often “leaked” into the space I held for my mediumship. I couldn’t truly thrive in my spiritual because I was too busy being bummed about my physical business.
Now, I am thrilled to be able to dedicate my time and energy to my spiritual practice and grow my intuitive services business. Now, I am aligned with my highest good and the universe will respond, in kind. Now, you will experience my frequency in your readings and energy healing sessions in a much more powerful and intentional way than I’ve been able to express until now.
The way has been cleared, and a path has been made. I’m so excited to watch how my life and spiritual practice continue to unfold in miraculous ways!
