Take the step that matches your vision
When people are ready to launch something new—whether it’s a workshop, business, or creative work of art—they sometimes take steps that are too small. This often stems from a fear of expressing their true vision or concern about spending money on something with an uncertain outcome. Launching something new always means stepping into unknown territory.
For example, my client Mary wrote a workshop description for an idea she had been talking about for months. She was finally ready to bring her work into the world—bravo! But in writing it, she “hedged.” Instead of sharing her true vision, she wrote something more conservative and restrained. It felt safer and more acceptable, more aligned with what others in her field were doing, rather than the original and unique work only she could offer.
Similarly, Sarah, a visual artist, took a bold step by renting studio space. But she settled for a studio that was too small. In our session, it became clear that her soul wanted a space big enough to display several large canvases at once so the energies and themes could interact and play off one another. Right now, Sarah’s work needs space—big space. She won’t always need it, but at this moment, her creative energies demand it.
Of course, it’s wonderful that both Mary and Sarah took these steps. But those steps won’t be fully satisfying (or sustainable) in the long run because they weren’t big enough. Sarah eventually realized her studio didn’t fit the work she was called to do, packed up, and moved to a larger space. Mary had a nice experience teaching, but her participants didn’t see her true gifts because she had hidden them. She missed an opportunity to grow into her unique vision.
Taking steps is essential, but here’s the truth: when we don’t take the big step that’s in front of us, it often costs us more time, energy, money, and resources later on.
If you’re wondering about the size of the step in front of you right now, I invite you to join my upcoming teleclass: Launch Your Soul’s Calling: Tapping Core Shamanic Energies & Guidance
December 8th, 1–3 pm PST. $45, includes a recording of the class.

In this teleclass, you’ll metaphorically see the vision and experience the energies of what your soul wants to create. You’ll also have the opportunity to work with me individually on your vision.
When we work with metaphor, we enter the sacred third space beyond the mind’s perception of our work or situation. In this space, we can feel and profoundly know the deep truth of what wants to be created and our alignment with it.
Take a pause from your busy life to feel, sense, and see your deep creative energies and how they want to move and express themselves right now.
So your next step will be big enough for you.
