How to Release “Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop Syndrome”

When you increase your manifestation abilities and your high-vibe-ed-ness, you really don’t want these thoughts getting in the way.

Have you experienced this? That sense that when everything is going well you get almost an eerie feeling that something bad is going to happen. You say things like “I hope I don’t jinx this but________.”

Or, you’re just bipping along happy in your own world when “Wham!” Chaos comes out of nowhere.

Do you ever wonder what that is?

Well, often times it’s a pattern we pick up in childhood and unconsciously recreate in our adult life. I’m calling it “Waiting-for-the-other-shoe-to-drop syndrome” and I’m hoping you’ll watch this video and FINALLY say goodbye to this annoying pattern – for good!

I’d love to hear your experience with this in the comments!

XOXO,

What Can a Lobster Teach Us About Spiritual Growth and Upleveling?

We’ve all had that moment. That moment when we achieve something BIG, something we really wanted to do, we’ve been working on it forever and then – EVERYTHING STARTS TO FALL APART!

Why does this happen and what in the world does it have to do with a lobster???

Well let me tell you because understanding this phase in your growth in terms of the lobster will save you a bunch of confusion and heartbreak.

I recorded this video under my Awakened Professional brand (soon to be released as a book!) but it certainly applies to Writing Soulfully as well. Your words will probably not be seen until you embrace the-lobster-without-its-shell phase part of your story. It makes all the difference!

I share what I mean in this video:

Are you in your lobster losing it’s shell phase? I’d love to hear from you in the comments.

Can You Really Choose Wrong?

In June 2017, I went on a retreat to Glastonbury England and stayed at the Chalice Well Gardens. I absolutely loved the place.

Each morning I took my tea to the well, sat with her, left my intentions for her to guard, and then went to sit on this little swinging bench in the quiet among the beautiful flowers. It’s where a portion of my book began to take shape and insights came through quickly.

The whole time I was there I had the intention of buying a necklace with the design of the well’s lid because I felt so connected to it. I’d seen someone wearing it and I absolutely loved it.

Well, each day we were out and about and would get back and the gift shop would be closed. So on the day we were leaving, four of us were scrambling to get our luggage on the driveway to wait for our taxi and I said I had to run and get that necklace!

I ran in quickly, bought the necklace and hurried out.

When I got back to the driveway I showed my necklace and my friend said, “Oh, that’s lovely – the tree of life.”

I looked down and I had in fact purchased the tree of life instead of the well! Which really don’t look similar other than they were both silver.

The taxi was almost there so I ran back to the gift shop but there was a price difference so it would take too long to exchange. Reluctantly, I made the quick decision to just keep it.

Once home I felt no connection to this necklace. None.

In fact, I started to notice the symbol was everywhere and I felt a little sad that I didn’t have my beloved well instead which seemed more unique.

Fast forward to June 2018…

An entire year later and I pull a four-card spread. It’s a spread I use for myself and my clients and I absolutely love it because it’s insight for months versus quickly.

The third card you pull is a gift that is ready to unfold. I can’t remember what that card was but then you pull another card which is the guide that will help you.

I pulled Gaia.

Gaia as a guide? I didn’t get it.

It’s not that I didn’t feel the earth can guide us, I didn’t see how it related to me (which is why I love that card spread and leave it up for a month at least!).

During that month I started thinking about the necklace.

The Tree of Life.

I went and got it from my jewelry box and put in on and it’s almost as if it came to life for me. I felt I was wearing a piece of the earth when I could not be outside.

I spent the summer out in nature. Playing in nature. Sending love to her animals. Swimming with giant manta rays, feeling my feet in her sand and best of all, it led to me to meet the collective consciousness energy that I channel who I hadn’t felt ready to know who they were before.

I had the very strong thought “The universe knows what you need long before you do.”

The necklace was not a mistake.

I had often wondered how I could grab a tree versus a well cover. In fact, when I’d run back to exchange it and saw the difference I was struck by how strange it was that I’d bought the wrong one.

The universe knows what we need long before we do.

That necklace, wearing it daily, really deepened my connection to Gaia.

I heard her.

I felt her.

I felt strongly called to be a guardian for her and that calling pulled together my passions so that I could understand how they are interrelated in such a way I never saw before.

You will see it all unfold over the next few months.

It was a lot at once so I can’t put it all here in one post or it will be a novel and honestly too much for my brain to relay.

But for now, I want to send you the message to trust. Trust that the mistakes, the missteps, the confusion, it’s all leading you somewhere.

And when you get those moments of clarity you can’t help but be amazed at how everything is so interconnected!

So interconnected and not so accidental at all.

How about you? Have you had “accidents” become clear that they had purpose? I’d love to hear about it in the comments.

F* it Cafe. Is THIS How We Made Our Life Decisions Before We Incarnated?

My awakening was so confusing. I had my life set up a specific way with the education and years of experience to support what I was doing, when BAM, I had this strong feeling that I needed to take a completely different path.

The new path was much harder, had no clear direction and relied almost solely on my intuition and trusting the universe when my results would’ve led a saner person to hurry back to their chosen occupation and enjoy the feeling of putting in effort and having it come back to them tenfold.

But I wasn’t a saner person, lol.

At one point, I hired a spiritual mentor and we were discussing my goals and what shadows or limiting beliefs may be standing between me and the results I was after. We got to the idea that we choose our path before we incarnate so that we learn and grow into what we are wanting to do.

I asked her, “Why would I have chosen this confusing path when the other one was so much clearer and easier to figure out?”

She told me that her mentor had told her this idea of “F* it café.” This place where souls are sitting, discussing what they want to do next, sipping their cloud lattes, and they are like, “F* it, I think I’ll start poor,” or “It’ll be best if I get abandoned so I’m independent,” and then of course we get here and it’s so murky and we’re wondering, “What the Heck????”

Thankfully my path has become so much clearer as I stopped questioning it and learned to heal obstacles and embrace the journey, but I can’t help but wonder when I meet people who are going through so much, possibly too much, were they trying to get through too many lessons?

Were they just like “Screw it. Let’s get ALL my soul growth out at once!”???

I have a friend who says she must have wanted to clear all her karma in one shot because that’s the only way she can explain all the struggle in her life.

Maybe she was like “Let’s do this,” sipping her light-filled latte in F* it Café. Maybe we were laughing together going, “Move out way too young, single Mom, two marriages, you totally should!”

What do you think, are there certain turning points in your life where you wonder “Why in the world would I choose this?”

I’d love to hear about it in the comments.

Seanin on Saying Goodbye to Brigid – The Power of the Authentic You

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure for more info.

I’m a student of success. It fascinates me. I can see it happening and I’m great at spotting that moment right before someone’s career just explodes into greatness. I can spot talent, even in its raw form. Especially in its raw form.

In the traditional business world I studied books like “Good to Great”and “Death by Meeting.”

But in the entrepreneurial space I’ve been fascinated by the solo entrepreneur with an authentic and vulnerable voice.

Brigid is one such soul.

I’ve been witnessing her gaining momentum. I’ve noticed that her FB Lives that used to be seen by 100 people are now seen by over a thousand within a day. She’s been getting press and her name is appearing more and more in my circles.

So when she announced a name change right in the midst of this momentum – I thought “Wow! That is freaking courageous.”

I reached out to her and asked to post it here. In all it’s raw-and-heartfeltedness form for you to read.

And be inspired by.

And be supportive of.

Because embracing parts of ourselves that we have rejected, forgotten and lost touch with, is HARD to do.

Doing it publicly is even harder.

Here is her post. I’d love to hear what you think!

On Being Seanin…

My name is changing everywhere.

I took Brigid on as an alias, for a number of reasons involving privacy, but largely about panic. I was terrified about being ‘caught out’ on the internet doing ‘woo stuff.’

Then all of a sudden it hit me that I was hiding. I was covering up what I AM, not what I do.

Because that’s what I’ve been giving. That’s what I’ve been putting out. MYSELF.

Seanin is the granddaughter of Sean McHugh. He was the first person in my life, and the last, to NEVER be mad, upset, cruel or disappointed in me.

For the entirety of my life, he was unreservedly, enthusiastically, and unconditionally my biggest and best friend and fan.

There are countless pictures- like the one below – that he took. Videos too, as he loves a gadget.

I am finally, at age thirty two, seeing myself through his eyes. I am loving me, honoring me, and listening when he said ‘you are different.’

I’ve been to quite a few clairvoyants and mediums since his passing. Every single time he’s said, ‘Forget every single person who treats you like you’re nothing. You are made for bigger than what they taught you.’

He was right.

The reason I am here, the reason I went public, the reason I moved to Brighton, the reason I trusted Steve and agreed to marry him – and this is the truth – is because he always found a way to get me a message. An affirmation.

It was HIM, through my grief and through these powerful healers, who told me what to do at every turn. And every time? What he told me already matched what I felt in my heart.

He knew my heart. He knows it still.

You say my name Shineen. That’s how it sounds. It’s spelt wrong on my birth certificate, but the Life Path number is 11, so I forgive it. In August I will change my last name too.

It means ‘God’s Gracious Gift.’ I never believed that. I have been told the opposite more times than most people, smashed down and hurt too often, to even try.

Now I believe it. And it’s because of the love that this man showed me, that I can.

I talk to him every single day. Every day. I hear his voice, and I sing him songs he loves. Even when I have felt entirely abandoned, entirely alone, and pushed out by those supposed to love me, I still have him.

And he believes in me. So do I.

So do I.

So I reintroduce myself to you. I am Seanin. That is my name, and this ‘work’ is who I am. He always knew it. The universe always knew it. And if you ask me what I do, I’ll tell you what I am.

Seanin. Granddaughter of Sean, the man who gifted me with God.

Thank you Grandad. I am proud to be named after you.
