In this riff, I share the most notable & overlooked reasons women fail in changing their relationship with booze.

These pics were taken August 2014 when I just moved out (through choice!) of my brand new spacious 3 bedroom townhouse which I lived in until I was 29.
Anyway, back then I worked in corporate as primary therapist & physiologist and made enough to afford the nice new house. So why did I NOT WANT it?
Why was I willing to “sacrifice” my space and downsize so massively?🤔
You'd think someone entering their 30's would be wanting to upgrade to a bigger & better house🏡, not downsizing to live in a 390 square foot rental from the 1940’s!😵
Well, I had a deep desire to re-sculpt my life in such a powerful way. I wanted to not only be a financially prosperous woman, but also to become an entrepreneur. I desired FREEDOM to work for myself. I also decided I was going to become a millionaire..… so how was I going to get there?
My vision for life was not about looking for a short-term quick fix to feel better (example: upgrade vehicles or house or buy new clothes).
My vision was all about the LONG-TERM and asking myself "what am I willing to do to achieve ALL OF MY DESIRES & have zero regrets?"
For me, I listed to my inner guidance that said step 1 is to become a landlord and rent out your townhouse to start growing your net worth. My inner guidance told me "find the cheapest rental & start making $ on the property you own" so I did.
So when I sold all my things (because my new rental studio only had space for a kitchen table & bed!!) most of the world thought I was nuts🤪. I had people message me asking me "are you okay, what is happening to you?”
It doesn’t help I sustained a traumatic brain injury in 2013 that led some to suspect I really had a problem with decision making.
Most people (not all) could not imagine taking such a sacrifice and living with so little - but for me, I could not imagine living the rest of my life to a lesser degree than I knew was possible for me.
So I lived there, in that TINY shoebox apartment for 2 years.
In that time, despite lack of space, I felt more spacious, inspired and AWAKE than ever before!
During that time, I built and launched my Bodycherish High Vibration Skincare🌿🌸by November 2015. Yes, the company started in that space!!!
During that time, I bought a 2nd property... a luxury high-end condo… and then a 3rd property (one I eventually moved into).
During that time, I also got the inspired idea to become an online mentor & program/course creator.. which lead me to quit my corporate career & launch my new business by March 2017!💗🙌🏻
You see, I grew up EXTREMELY POOR & could have easily been another statistic - but I made a decision to write myself a new story, throw a plot twist and become anything I decided to be💃🏻👊🏻
Flash forward to today, I have 3 rental properties, 3 sets of tenants, 2 separate businesses earning multiple 6 figures and most importantly, the FREEDOM I knew I had to have when I made one of the best decisions of my life (deciding to move into that tiny 390 square foot apartment).
Oh yes, people thought I was crazy for sure!
To me, what would be crazy is STILL slaving away at a job I did not love, that was not my higher calling in life.
To me, what would be crazy is NOT choosing to become prosperous & struggling to make ends meet each month.
To me, what would be crazy is spending all my money for SHORT-TERM rewards versus keeping my eyes on the prize for where I am destined to go in life.
Successful entrepreneurs have 1 think in common. They take BOLD AF action that many are not comfortable taking.
Entrepreneurs often go into debt to build their empires (or live very humbly) in the beginning because they 🔥believe in their dream and the long term vision that lies ahead🔥
If you are looking for support getting your entrepreneurial passion &/or coaching business taken to the next level of financial success, working with the right clients and customers in your unique zone of genius but do not have the time to work with a mentor for months at a time, then you are a perfect candidate for the brand new: VIP 40-DAY PREMIUM BUSINESS ACCELERATOR (1:1)!!

LET’S TALK SURVIVAL MODE / AUTO-PILOT LIVING
I remember coming home from work feeling exhausted, depleted and wondering if there was something more to life than what I was experiencing.
Part of me even felt guilty for feeling unfulfilled because I had a great paying job (by societal norms) and it took me a lot of university to get. So why couldn’t I just be grateful for it?
The truth is that even though things looked "successful" I was living without any magic or sparkle in my life. I was counting down the minutes just for the weekends - so I could “take the edge off” after a stressful week.
Looking back, I also see i used it to suppress my inner guidance system which kept trying to nudge me awake so that I could “course correct” my life.
I managed to keep my inner guidance system pretty quiet for awhile.
I think that is why a lot of us feel that stir of unease (often labeled as anxiety).
Perhaps it is really just our Soul craving more & causing a bubble up of feelings. to wake us the f*k up!
This is the crossroads in life that we can ignore that feeling and try to shrug it off - drink more wine, scroll through our phones, date the wrong men & continue playing it safe.
You know, keep colouring within the lines and doing all the things the same things our friends and coworkers do.
I mean, we don’t want to cause any ripples in the water now do we?
But for the brave and fierce lightworkers of this world, who are willing to question this off-feeling and dive a little deeper, a shift from deep inside will start to take place.
A desire to experience more out of life. A desire to feel peace, joy, purpose & freedom each day.
To wake up and go to bed at night feeling ease but also excitement for the day ahead.
To no longer feel lost & out of alignment with your true purpose.
So, where do you go from here? How do you heal and step forward into the kind of life / relationship /career you have only dreamed of?
I am here to tell you with 100% certainty that there is a way. I pulled a 180 so hard in my life it is actually astonishing at times.
I believe I have "cracked the code" on how to get there & I know you can get here too by following a strategic sequence of steps offered in Elevate Your Life - and by literally raising your energy to a new set point.
That mixed with mega mindset shifts and changes in perspective will get the ball rolling and you will become the architect of your dream lifestyle.
You will get connected and aligned to your deepest passions and purpose and once there, that is where you will feel true fulfillment.
Now my question for you is, what would you be willing to do in order to experience, within a short period of time the desired life you have been craving & yearning for?
The one, where you walk through life with an unwavering sense of confidence & assurance that you are in alignment with your higher purpose & exactly where you should be.
When you know you are right where you should be, anxiety and angst cannot coexist.
You feel a deep sense of trust & security within your life. Like you are being divinely guided the whole way!
To have that inner voice of angst replaced with a sense of calm & ease. A trust and knowing that you are on the fast track to an extraordinary life.
Feeling inspired & fulfilled is your new normal.
There is so much more to share but I will save that for women interested in taking the next step and learning a bit more:-)

In this week's FB Live inside High Vibin' Soulpreneurs, we dive deep on the most essential steps to be the BEST COACH possible to your online clients so that they can get the best results working with you!
1. Dial up your A game 30 mins prior - that means do not schedule back to back calls so that you can recharge and reset between calls (use washroom, read last week's notes, eat a snack and hydrate). Unfortunately 55 min/call coaches, who schedule back to back clients at the top of the hour, often show up late to their clients & are clearly drained.
2. Listen a LOT and practice Motivational Interviewing (have them discover the answer from within instead of shoving it down their throat).
3. Have a plan in place that will move them forward toward their goal - don’t just talk about it but figure out the next best action steps each week - break it down into manageable pieces for them.
4. Do your Self Care, consistently, and make decisions that support your happiness & joy (because this frequency is higher (process of entrainment via LOA effects your client's own vibration). Be sure to exercise frequently, eat healthy and make sleep a priority.
5. Come with tons of water (triple what you think you'll need for call).
6. Be impeccable with your word and super organized - you can’t be hot mess - that is a disservice to your client investing in you and trusting you with their transformation.
7. Take notes CONSTANTLY- make sure you know what is going on and never ever show up unprepared.
8. Email your client the agreed upon "stretches" each week after your call to keep them accountable to their goals and moving forward.
9. Follow up with them on their stretches goals & don't be scared to remind them of why they hired you (many coaches don't even think about this and then their clients end up with no results).
10. Empower them to rise but don’t twist their arms - accountability and follow through is learned THROUGH working with a coach - if you don’t allow them to step up to the plate you disempower them.
11. Lead by example - practice what you preach!!!
12. Set boundaries - they will respect you 10x more and value your time 10x more if you do (that means set hours for your work and terms written into your client contracts regarding no-show or cancellations).
13. Be a relatable human - never try to present you have it all figured out. Be kind, compassionate & honest. If you can, throw in some humour, too!
I had the pleasure of recently being interviewed by Alexi Panos, where we dive deep on why I created Elevate Your Life & who it is meant to serve. Hope you enjoy!
In this video, I decided to be more vulnerable and transparent than I have ever been before with regards to my experience with alcohol addiction, which runs through my family tree.
You see, I feel it is so easy us to show the world how great life is now but not enough people ACTUALLY share about what is was like before it got good. They may summarize it into a single sentence but don't give you the details of what actually took place to support their positive transformation.
..and that is why, in this video, I take you on the journey with me, from where I was (hanging out in rock bottom with a carpet imprint on the side of my face) and what steps were taken to move me into my new (best!) chapter of my life.
I am now in my dream life, submerged fully in my soulpreneur career & higher purpose, in the best health & fitness of my life, in union with my soulmate and {most importantly}, feeling radical self-love for who I am & have become in this humbling experience of addiction.
I share this backstory to inspire someone who needs a reminder that there is always room and opportunity to overhaul your life in an amazing way. It was not too long ago I was in my rock bottom feeling so far away from everything that is now my new normal. If it is possible for me, it is 100% possible for you too.
Hugs & I believe in you,
Christine
