This is wild! This person clearly knew a thing or two about sales and marketing, it's a shame they didn't use those powers of influence for good. Thanks for sharing your experiences 💗

Hahaha and also I was so desperate to outsource this uncomfortable feeling I had about where my life was going so was willing to pay someone to do it for me! What I realised in the end is that it was all in me to take responsibility for the experience- I just wish I didn’t get myself into that much debt to learn the lesson

Ugh expensive lessons are the worst!

I recently heard a podcast where someone hired a life coach when all they really wanted was some external voice of validation to quit their crummy job and move onto something new. But the coach wasn't telling them to do that, so they were even more frustrated AND out the cost of the coaching! So you're not alone in that experience from what I can tell!

You are welcome Sabrina! Hindsight is a beautiful thing, I realised I was just so uncomfortable owning everything I wanted I was willing to pay someone to do it for me. Very expensive lesson 🤪

Jules, I'm going through your archives and resonated with this post so much!!! I'm a 5/2 sacral generator and I think part of the HD experiment process is always reflecting on the times when you KNEW you should have said no or not done the thing. I have an open crown and part of my "not self" is sheer desperation to be CERTAIN -- which is why I so easily give away my power to someone else who presents themselves as having the answer. 🫣

Recently I met with an EFT tapping practitioner who came highly recommended. Her program cost was waaayyyy out of budget for me and I told her as much. She was such a shark and spent so much time trying to convince me that I needed to spend the money to make money. I felt hungover after our call because she was such an energy vampire.

As a generator, how do you navigate "responding" when you are in a place of desperation / needing to make money? When I think of crafting my Portfolio Career and think about what "lights me up" I think to myself, "MAKING MONEY!" (LOL... but it's a real question!)

I think it’s great you shared this. Thank you. And I can totally see how easy it is to say yes to something like this when you want the success so bad.
