For most of my life, I felt unseen and unheard. Yet, I had this vision of myself standing on a stage and teaching people.

How could that even be possible if I was invisible?

It took me decades to realize I was a leader. Although my Heart had been guiding me on this path, my human ego could not imagine how someone as serious, bookish, and quiet as I was could inspire others to take action.

Little did I know... being invisible can be a superpower.

OMGoodness... I am so loving this woman's fun and colorful style. So glad I found her work.

Call me crazy… but after a good day of working on some backend tech stuff for my new coaching program, I settled down to watch a course I bought yesterday.

A bit of background…

Last November, Leonie Dawson offered a super deal on her Brilliant Biz & Life Academy. This is a collection of all of her courses and journals. As she writes on her website, “Get EVERYTHING you need to grow your business including popular & proven e-courses, planners & group coaching call: all at a wildly affordable price!”

One of my good friends purchased this package. She loves it!

Of course, I immediately went into “Wah! I missed out on something great!”

Well, Leonie is offering the super discount on this program again! I bought it yesterday and I am loving it. You can get ALL her journals, planners, and courses for just $99 for a year.

I’m watching the Work Less, Earn More class right now. Leonie is sharing how she created a multi-million dollar business ($12M in revenue!) working just 10 hours a week (Wait. What?!)!

She has a course on writing a book in 40 days, and some fun journals and planners.

Her artwork is fun and bright and reminds me to connect with my inner little girl.

The catch though (of course there's a catch, right?) is that this offer expires in just 2 days.

So if you have a business and you want to make it more fun or expand your reach, this $99 investment could make your experience more flavorful and exciting. It will definitely be more colorful!

Anyway…

I just wanted to share this with you in case you’ve been looking for a low-cost resource to help you take your business or life to a better place.

Let me know if you sign up and maybe we can go through a course or two together. There are soooo many to choose from!

Here’s a link to find out more. This is an affiliate link, so if you decide to buy it, I’ll earn a commission. This does not affect the price you pay.

Your Heart wants you to have fun as you do your work. When you can have fun while doing your work (whatever that may be), the result will be so high-vibe that people will want to do what you are doing. Welcome to leadership of the high-vibe variety! Bits of Bravery #002

It was a Reel Pleasure

Yesterday I was excited to publish a Reel to Instagram and Facebook. I have published a handful of Reels, but never enjoyed the process. It’s felt like something I HAVE to do to promote my business and the technology involved is a bit intimidating (meaning confusing to me).

But yesterday was different.

Before I jump into my story… if you are a bit behind on the social media trends like I tend to be, Reels are the short, portrait-oriented videos. TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube are the platforms I know that use them. These videos may last a few seconds to about a minute or so. So short.

Now back to the story…

It started when I watched a hands-on training on how to create Instagram Reels. During the training, I actually created a Reel using the IG app. It was so cool having someone guide me step-by-step-by-step on the process.

I had to rewind the video several times because I as I switched my attention from the computer screen to the phone in my hand, I missed things. Key things.

In the end, I was successful!

Click here to watch it on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/donna.doyon/videos/894544241878843/

But that’s not the Reel I posted for the world to see.

An hour or so later, I had finished my work for the day. I was playing a game on my phone when the day’s off-and-on gentle rain became a downpour! I closed the window and watched the rain create almost immediate puddles on the dry desert ground.

Inspiration struck!

I didn’t question it. I didn’t ask my husband if I was crazy to do what I suddenly, like a 5-year-old child wanted to do. I pulled my neglected rain slicker out from under the bed. This got my husband’s attention.

“What’re you doing?” he asked.

“I’m going to play in the rain!”

Slippers off… Chicken boots on.

I grabbed my phone and stepped outside into the pouring rain.

I laughed. I twirled. I turned my camera on and captured the moment!

As I opened the door to come back inside, my husband had his camera ready to capture my craziness. We laughed as I shook off my wet jacket and draped it over the back of our only chair. I sighed when I realized I hadn’t stopped the video on my camera. Instead of a few seconds of me enjoying the rain, there was almost a minute of me opening the door, seeing my husband with his camera, and backing back into the rain and then back inside.

Le sigh… I had wanted to upload the clip to Facebook, but now I couldn’t.

Oh well… playing in the rain was still fun!

A little while later I checked to see if my camera app could trim videos. If it does, I couldn’t figure it out.

I remembered a video editing app I’d downloaded a few days ago. It could probably do it.

But here’s the thing… when I first downloaded the app, I couldn’t figure out how it worked.

But the rain video was fun. I wanted to share it with my friends. I had a reason to give that app another try.

And that’s the story of my first joyfully created Reel.

Here's the link to watch it: https://www.facebook.com/donna.doyon/videos/894544241878843/

Because I did what my Heart compelled me to do, in that moment, I found the courage to face an app that had seemed overwhelmingly complicated to me just a few days earlier.

My Heart knows that this new skill serves a purpose. My Heart knows that it will help me connect with more intuitive introverts whose Soul’s have volunteered for a similar mission to my own… To take our places as quiet leaders to teach, heal, and guide others on their enlightenment paths.

Your Heart is giving you great ideas, too. Do you take action or blow them off as silly? If you’re ready to trust your Heart, your Soul will start singing (in the rain).

Are You Seeking Permission, Validation, or Courage

Does this sound like a familiar story?

“I have this crazy idea. I’m thinking about taking a Reiki class,” a woman said.

“What’s to think about?” I asked.

“Well, I’m not sure if I’ll be any good at it.”

“How will you know unless you learn how to do it?”

“I know. But I hate to spend $150 on a class that I might not like.”

“How will you know if you like it unless you take a class?”

“I know. But I talked to my sister about it. She said it sounds like a scam. I don’t know if Reiki works. I’ve never even had it done.”

“I’m confused. Why do you consider spending $150 on a class for something you know so little about?”

“I don’t know. I just think it would be interesting.”

Ahhhh… and that’s the point this woman, most of my clients, and I eventually reach. We don’t know why we want to do something, we just do.

In my opinion, that is good enough!

One of the problems I see in our world is that people make too many decisions from the safety and security-focused reptilian part of their brain. They look for permission and validation from the people around them so they don’t stray too far from the norm. Straying from the norm puts them at risk. Or it would have a gazillion years ago.

But in these advanced times, seeking permission or validation to take action on Heart-Inspired ideas only keeps us small and contained in the comfort of sameness.

When we have to explain WHY we want to do something, the magic gets buried beneath the logic (or lack of logic).

When we have to justify the time or money to do something, the practical uses for that time or money quickly overwhelm the unknown possibilities of the activity.

When we have to convince someone that our needs deserve to be considered, too, we tend to acquiesce to the wants of others and move our needs to the bottom of the list because while we see the value in their wants, they don’t see the value in our needs.

The problem is…

Your Soul signed you up to help transform the world. You are here to facilitate change by leading, teaching, healing, and guiding people on their enlightenment path.

And most of the people in your life won’t give you permission to be the leader you came here to be. They won’t validate the ideas and teachings you know will alleviate the pain and suffering caused by division. Most of the people in your life want you to be the same person they think you have always been.

But they don’t really know you, do they?

They don’t know your Heart whispers to you the truths about Collective Consciousness, the healing power of the mind, and the energetic frequencies of all things.

They don’t know you are here to heal the harmonic imbalance between masculine and feminine energies.

They don’t know that you don’t need their permission or validation to step into the leadership role you came here to fill.

The Solution…

What you do need is a stronger sense of self so you stop seeking permission and validation. You also need a wee bit of courage. Both live within you and are ready to grow as soon as YOU give yourself permission to step out with them into the world.

The time is now. It’s your choice.

Are you going to honor your Soul’s Contract to be a quiet leader in this lifetime or will you wait for the next one?

If you don’t yet have a strong sense of self or you feel like you are lacking in the courage department, know that you aren’t alone AND that help is available.

Like you, my Soul volunteered to assist people on their awakening journey. My role is to help intuitive introverts who feel unseen, unheard, and unrecognized, step with confidence and light into the leadership role they came here to fill.

I am currently enrolling students in my new Unshakeably You Bootcamp program. If you’d like more information on working with me, comment below or send me a PM. We’ll see if working together will help you on your journey to be the leader you came here to be.

Which matters more… The journey or the destination.

Once upon a time, I was a master goal-setter and achiever. Once I set my mind to do something, it was as good as done. And when I accomplished one goal, my first thought was, “What’s next?”

Rarely did I stop to bask in the sensation of achieving something that was difficult or beyond my wildest imaginings.

As I approached the half-century mark of life, I felt called to start slowing down. To relax. To enjoy life, rather than just plow through it.

It felt weird…

It felt uncomfortable.

There were still things I wanted to do. Places I wanted to see. People I wanted to meet.

And yet, developing a plan, creating lists, and ignoring everything else for the sake of one focused goal was no longer appealing.

I settled into a period of dreaming big and achieving little.

Then in May 2019, I created a feminine approach to goal setting that felt more aligned with who I was at the time.

Now, I’ve learned to appreciate that it is the blending of both the feminine and masculine energies that make goal achieving and manifesting so fun and amazing.

With this in mind, I created As Good as Done: A Checks & Balances System For Manifesting Your Greatest Desires for people who want to feel both energetically aligned and productively engaged in manifesting their greatest desires.

When I first learned about the Law of Attraction, I was really confused.

All my life, I’d taken well-planned and focused action to achieve my goals. This sitting around and waiting for my deepest desires to find their way to me made absolutely no sense. I just couldn’t see how it worked.

What I did see were people who proclaimed that the LOA worked, struggling with the same things I was. They wanted to lose weight. They wanted to have more money. They wanted their relationships to be easier.

What was going on?

I KNEW from my own experience that setting goals with the S.M.A.R.T. method worked.

And yes, as I became more spiritually and emotionally centered, setting S.M.A.R.T. goals felt very rigid. I was at a point in my life where a sense freedom (actually FREEDOM!) was a higher priority.

And yet, there were still things I wanted to accomplish, places I wanted to experience, and relationships I wanted to heal.

So I created a Feminine Approach to S.M.A.R.T. goals and now I am teaching people how to blend the feminine and masculine energies of wants and needs to create a harmonic balance of enjoying the journey while on the way to a specific destination.

We've been told the Universe has our backs. We hear that Collective Consciousness is conspiring in our favor. Source has stacked the deck and we cannot lose.

So why do we feel like we just can’t do the “manifesting” thing right?

The truth is…

We don’t have everything we want.

We haven’t experienced all we want to experience.

Is there something wrong with us? Are we the exception to the “Universe has your back” rule?

And just how the heck do you “align yourself to the vibration of what you want?”

If you are tired of waiting for your dreams to come to you AND uncertain of the steps to take to achieve your goals, this new workshop “As Good as Done: A Checks & Balances System For Manifesting Your Greatest Desires” is just what you need!

Join me for this 90-minute LIVE training via Zoom on Tuesday, February 21, 2023 at 1 p.m. ET. There will be time to answer your questions at the end.

ANNOUNCING A LIVE TRAINING EVENT:

AS GOOD AS DONE: A CHECKS & BALANCES SYSTEM FOR MANIFESTING YOUR GREATEST DESIRES

This 90-minute workshop with time for Q&A will be conducted live via Zoom on Tuesday, February 21, 2023 at 1 p.m. ET.
Investment: $13

Once upon a time, I was a goal-setting and goal-achieving master. Once I set my sights on something, I considered it done. No questions asked. No doubts allowed.

I’d used various goal-setting strategies to accomplish so many unexpected and amazing things. Things like:

* Leaving my small childhood town in Massachusetts to attend college in a big Texas city.
* Earning a Below-the-Zone promotion in my early Air Force career days.
* Overcoming my fear of public speaking to speak before an international audience.
* Publishing a collection of short inspirational stories.
* Earning a Master’s Degree while working full-time night shifts and raising two children.
* Getting my 200-pound body off the couch to participate in two sprint triathlons.

There were three key factors I focused on:
1) My inner voice
2) My personal relationships
3) My daily habits

All three things were critical to my success. Each one was a link in the proverbial chain of my life. My results were determined by whichever link was the weakest. So I kept them all strong.

I knew the methods. I’d done the work. I had plenty to say and teach on the topic of setting goals. So that’s what I decided to do: Create an online course focused on goal-setting strategies.

Now let’s jump back to that “Once upon a time…” statement I started with.

If you remember your favorite childhood fairy tales, “Once upon a time” was eventually followed by some version of “Until…”

That’s the point where things changed.

Deciding to share what I knew about goal-setting (and more importantly goal-achieving) was my “Until…” moment.

Once I started outlining a course, using colorful Post-It notes, smooth-writing gel pens, and a new college-lined notebook, my brilliant goal-focused consciousness faced a moment of spiritual reckoning.

Yes, I accomplished some surprising and amazing things, yet there was no sense of magic and wonder in the achieving of them. I had reached the destination but failed to enjoy the journey.

That goal-setting course never fully developed into existence. It was missing something. I was missing something.

I had become aware enough to know that I couldn’t teach something that wasn’t aligned with the person I was becoming.

Over the next few years, as my consciousness expanded and I tapped into my natural intuitive abilities, I realized the piece I overlooked on my journey to accomplish and experience things, was joy in the process.

I realized I had lived most of my life in the masculine energy of doing. I always had a list of things to do. I had no interest in the pampering and self-care practices health and spiritual experts encouraged me to practice on the regular.

Yet I could also appreciate that they seemed more relaxed and in tune with themselves and their bodies than I was. I was definitely missing something magical.

I began incorporating feminine practices of attracting what I wanted, raising my energetic vibration to a higher frequency, and allowing the richness of feelings to invade my human experience.
It was a game-changer!

Now I set goals being mindful of balancing feminine and masculine energies. The pull and the push. The ebb and the flow. The attraction and the effort.

I am delighted to announce that I am finally creating that goal-setting program.

Its goal is to provide you with a checks and balances system to satisfy both your feminine-feeling and masculine-doing nature. It’s to keep your spiritual vibration high and your go-getter side satisfied.

This goal-setting-with-a-twist training is for you if you feel a bit "weak" in the manifesting department and wonder why manifesting seems to work for some people, but not for you.

It's a checks & balances system to help you harmonize feminine and masculine energy, so you feel both energetically aligned and productively engaged in manifesting your greatest desires.

Are you frustrated because you feel caught on a hamster wheel of sameness when you know you were meant to roam free and enjoy your human experience?

02/02/2023

What if life throws challenges your way because you don’t choose any for yourself?
​
​
The final episode of my podcast was called “The Time Has Come for the Tower Card.” 🏰 In it, I talked about feeling stuck and uncertain about the direction I wanted to move in. I simply knew that my current path was not going to take me where I wanted to go. And so, being a student of Tarot, I self-selected the Tower card. 🏰
​
Many people dread seeing the Tower card in a reading. It’s perceived to be one of destruction and dismay. The Tower is collapsing. All that was in it, people, possessions, and the structure itself, were at risk of being destroyed.
​
I’m a bit of an oddball because I always appreciate seeing the Tower card. It invites me to look at what might be restrictive or potential-limiting in my life. It reminds me that just because something was a certain way, doesn’t mean it needs to be that way forever.
​
Today, almost three years later I find myself thinking about The Tower card again. 🏰
​
I wonder if the richness in my life is because all along I have self-selected my challenges. I’ve achieved goals that seemed ridiculous for me to even set. I’ve learned and grown into a person who willingly invites hard things into my life, just for the joy of seeing what I can do with them.

It’s rare that external circumstances crash into my world and leave it in shambles. And when they do, I scramble free of the debris with a few scratches and a determination to move on or rebuild.
​
But what really got me thinking today was the people who are so settled and comfortable in their towers, that they don’t invite change or challenges into their world. When the earth rumbles, they live in fear that their tower will collapse, instead of stepping outside to see what lies beyond the stone walls.
​
I found myself wondering if the Universe, which wants us to expand our consciousness, provides opportunities to grow by choice, chance, or cumulative circumstances.
​
For many years I’ve talked about listening to my Heart’s Callings. 💖 These are those whispers that keep me awake at night telling me that I was meant to do more in my life. They are the flashes of insight into who I could become if I signed up for a 287-mile bike ride across the state of Maine. 🚵 ​ My Heart guides me on most of my adventures and they leave me feeling fulfilled (until the next adventure calls).
​
In my work, I encounter many people who fall into the “I’ll do it when I have to” trap. They see the same opportunities I do but make excuses to not accept them.
​
They glance at the brochure with the bicyclist on the front panel and immediately think, “I couldn’t spend 3 days on a bike,” “I don’t even remember how to ride a bike,” or “Only jocks can do that.”
​
I looked at that brochure and thought, “I wonder if I could do it?” “I wonder if my bike is good enough?” and “I wonder if my family will meet me in Bethel?” 🚵
​
I enjoyed months of riding my bicycle in preparation for the Trek Across Maine fundraising event. I learned how to change a flat tire. I scheduled vacation time at my job and rallied the support of my husband and kids. I transformed into someone I hadn’t been before… an athlete. 🎉
​
Opportunities for adventure and growth are all around us. They may come in the form of a brochure at a neighborhood store, an overheard conversation, or a childhood dream. 💖
​
Today I wonder…
​
If we don’t choose opportunities for growth, will the Universe provide us with less appealing ways to accomplish the same expansion? Will the Universe say, “Sorry, but it’s for your own good” as It throws The Tower card at us?
​
If you’re Heart has whispered ideas to help expand your human experience, but you still feel uncertain about how to follow through with your ideas, I will be hosting a training event on goal setting on February 21st.

I thought I'd share this beautiful picture I took a few days before Christmas in Lake Havasu City, AZ.

We sat on a park bench along the Shoreline Trail for a few minutes and I stared at the palm trees.

I found myself missing home. Christmas in Maine looks and feels NOTHING like Christmas in southern Arizona. :-) Where were the evergreen trees? Why was I wearing just a t-shirt (and pants, of course. LOL)?

I realized that I could wallow in the sadness of missing home or I could ALLOW this new experience to fill my heart with joy.

ALLOW, although not formally my ONE WORD for 2022, played a huge role in how I moved through the year. I focused on allowing things to come to and through me, rather than trying to direct and push things into place.

Choosing ONE WORD to serve as a lens for your experiences is a strategy I've used and modified over the years. If you'd like more info on how to use this simple tool to support your personal and spiritual growth in 2023, here's a link to my podcast episode on the topic.
