Okay, okay, I know it’s a crazy title. But you’ll see why I used it in a moment!
During the last week, I’ve been on the most amazing journey of self transformation! It began with feeling like I was a in a rut in my business. A dark deep nasty rut. I started to feel unsure about what I was actually doing and I started to lose confidence in my direction.
THIS BROUGHT UP A WHOLE LOAD OF SHIT FOR ME!
I imagined the words that my onlookers would be saying: ‘Huh, look at her! Claiming to be a confidence coach and she hasn’t even got confidence in what she’s doing!”
THIS MADE SHIT WORSE!
So I took action.
I hired an incredible Spiritual Coach to help me clear some energy (the amazing Kaitlyn of http://www.kaitlynglyndon.com/) – I cannot recommend her work enough. And I got input from an Intuitive Coach about the energy around my (business) names.
THEN THINGS SHIFTED! BIG TIME!
I suddenly saw that I had been holding back in my business! I wanted to integrate ALL parts of myself – my spirituality, my sunshine, my Divine feminine, my relationship with God/Source, my light, my love, my happiness!
AND FINALLY OWN WHAT I DO – GUIDING WOMEN TO STEP INTO THEIR LIGHT!
SO I CHANGED MY BUSINESS NAME TO…
THE SUNSHINE GODDESS!
No more playing small! The Sunshine Doctor (my previous name) was a rather half hearted attempt to be who I am; yet I was still hiding. With the ‘Doctor’ I was trying to bring in through the back door that I am actually a Doctor (as I always said I don’t believe in titles).
But I have just peeled back another layer! After working with a fabulous business coach (the brilliant Elyse http://www.elyse-anne.com/), I’ve seen that I am still hiding the fact that I am a Doctor – a PhD (not medical; means I’ve studied for many a moon (and a few more moons!) at Uni creating new thinking and missing many nights sleep!).
I typically don’t use my title because I always say that I don’t believe in titles. I hate any form of hierarchy or status. But I’ve now come to see that this isn’t about thinking i am above (or below) anyone. It’s really just about honouring who I am.
So here we go – I AM A DOCTOR EVERYONE!
And by claiming my title, I’m just stating a fact. No ego. No bravado. No ‘I’m better than you’. Just a plain simple fact.
So it seems The Sunshine Goddess is one part of me! I’m also a Communication Expert, a Fairy Godmother, a Rainbow Princess, a Published Author, a Best Friend and much more!
So I have now bought the domain: www.drmelissawright.com (note – I’ve literally just bought this so there’s nothing there yet!)
Owning my name. Owning my truth. Owning the facts.
+ What parts of yourself are still waiting to be owned and celebrated by you?
+ Do you feel worried about showing your high achievements for fear that you might look like your full of ego?
+ I’d love to hear from you in the comments!
I wholeheartedly agree that we all need to learn to value ourselves, our true selves, not the person we think others want or expect us to be. Until we can learn to value our gifts and talents, love, kindness, generosity of spirit in short our value to our loved ones and the world around us, we will find it hard to offer those to others in our own authentic way.
We all have much to offer others, each and everyone of you are unique, you are all essential to our world. You have all been given different skills to share for the good of all. So let’s all celebrate our true authentic selves, help and encourage each other to find and value each one of our authentic paths.
