  Speaker 1: Glowvisor welcomes Virginia Schauer.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Thank you for having me.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a pleasure. Well, Virginia, let's start it off
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: by what specific problem do you solve and who do
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: you help?
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Well, I help those that are coaches, consultants, or maybe
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: even they don't even call themselves a coach, but they
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: do it intuitively. They're looking for continuing education on how
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: to deepen their craft to be able to get people
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: to their next level in their life or in their business.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: The problem I solve, because that was a two-part question.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: The problem I solve is I help those coaches get
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: those clients to the next level. Maybe they've already learned
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: some strategies, but there is nervous system regulation work along
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: with intuitive spiritual work that can go hand in hand
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: with the practices they already use in order to strengthen
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: their ability to get their clients to their next level.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Gotcha. You know, when I first read your bio, I
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: saw Soulpreneurs, but you know, when you read really, really quickly,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: it was like Soulpreneurs Association. I'm like, wait, they misspelled that.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: And then I said, no, they didn't misspell it. It's S-O-U-L, Soulpreneurs.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I was like, you know, that's great. So that's exactly
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the first thing that attracted me the most. And I said,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I really have to reach out to Virginia and find
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: out more. So can you tell us a little bit
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: more how that came about?
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. So Soulpreneurs was... a word that kind of
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: popped into my heart back in 2015-16. And it described
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: how I felt as an entrepreneur. It was the idea
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: that the passion and the drive and the ideas weren't
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: something just to make money. Because a lot of, I
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: think that the initial path of maybe an entrepreneur is like,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I want to do things on my own and by myself.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be, I don't want to have
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: a boss and I just want to make money on
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: my own. I can do whatever it is. Let's just
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: find what that is and go. And there's nothing wrong
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: with that at all. I think that that's a lot
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: of people's first step. And for me, as a soulpreneur,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I found that I really wanted to do something that
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: was beneficial led by my inner guidance and led by
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: something that I was really passionate about. And eventually it's like,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: it feels soul led. It feels like something that is
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: greater than me that I am serving and being of
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: service to. And so when I caught the name soulpreneur,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: it just really encompassed what I did. And I eventually
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: narrowed it down to those who think outside of the
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: box and inside of their soul.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I could see that. But Was there a defining moment
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: that put you into this path, the entrepreneur side? And
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: then you said, OK, well, I have something. Now I
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: connected with the soulpreneur, which I can see that connection.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: But you're like, I need to bottle it and I
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: need to share it with someone. Yeah.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: So back in 2016, I found myself about seven years
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: deep in teaching education. I was a high school teacher
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: and I was also an actor. I also was doing
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: a one-woman show. I started a 501c3 nonprofit for Shakespeare
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: in the Park. And we provided free Shakespeare in the summertime,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: my husband and I, with a group of amazing, amazing
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: actors and directors and individuals. And then also I was
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: a massage therapist and health coach. And so doing all
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: of those things at once, plus traveling with my students
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: doing competitions, speech and debate competitions. I loved it all.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I really did. But it was, it became very stressful
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: on me. And I ended up in the emergency room
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: with the ophthalmologist 99% sure that I had an aneurysm.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: And that was just a huge scare for me. And
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: After it all came out, it came out that I
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: had an autoimmune disease that could only be solved by
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the doctors by steroids for the rest of my life.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: And so I decided to not do that and do
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: an alternative, which was reduce my stress. And at the time,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: entrepreneurship required me to go balls to the wall and go, go, go, go, go.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: But that was like against what literally my body was
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: telling me. And I knew that there could be a
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: better way. I knew that there was a way that
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I could lead with my heart and my soul and
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: not have to push so much, not have to be
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: overridden with stress so much. And that was how I
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: found my soulpreneur path. was that I had to look
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: deep within myself and find my priorities and what really
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: mattered to me and focus there and let go and
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: surrender that some of the things that I actually did
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: really love, like my students, like I loved my students
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: so much. But that was part of the letting go
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: of my solopreneur path that maybe entrepreneurs don't know how
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: to do yet.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: No, we don't. It's tough because they've told us forever
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: and ever that you just have to work harder. You
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: have to work more to become more successful. And I
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: remember when I first started my businesses, seven days a week,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't vacation for two years. This is it, 14,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: 16 hour days. I loved it because I loved what
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I was doing. But that does get to a point
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: where you're like, well, it does impact you physically and mentally.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: But you're thinking, you know what? I'm meeting what people
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: have expected of success, right? This is what we're expected
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: to do. So can you share with us a little
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: bit more of, let's just say, if we have that mindset,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: what would be the first step we can take to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: start thinking differently?
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: And this is going to sound so cliche, but it
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: really is. The first step is getting quiet and learning
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: how to get quiet with yourself. And that.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Sometimes is a no-go for people. Like some people are
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: going to say, well, I can't get quiet because I'm
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: too busy, or I can't get quiet because I'm not
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: a good, you know, meditator, or I don't know how
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: to sit still. But the stillness is actually where we
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: find what I call the soul. And the soul is
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the great connector between you and what's greater than you.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: And so many people just look outside of themselves and
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: they maybe go to church every Sunday or maybe they
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: pray out outside of themselves. But the answers actually come
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: from within. And when we get quiet with ourselves and
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: find our own soul, that great connector of God's source,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: the God of your understanding, can really tell you where
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: it is that you you are expending energy that is
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: in excess or doesn't need to be spent versus an
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: energy where your focus can go and the movement flows,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: like you flow with it. And the things that you
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: thought that you had to let go of, I'll fall
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: into place anyway. Like the surrender is like, oh, I
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: didn't have to control that. It actually worked out without me.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: There's so many things that I have been able to
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: surrender that actually have worked out even better than I
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: could have ever planned it.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: One of the things that, and I'm dying to go
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: back to the association because I want to find out
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: a lot more about that. But before we move on,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I don't want to let this go because I think
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: this is great. You just said, Sit still and look within.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: And I totally agree. But in the beginning, it's so
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: difficult to do that, to sit there. So what do
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: you what do you do? Do you ask the question
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: sort of like I have an issue at work and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: with my business, I sit there and say, well, can
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: you help me figure out how to get my salespeople
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: to sell more?
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, gosh.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Is that how it works?
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: No, no, actually. So that is such a great question
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: that like. When you're sitting still, it's not about finding
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: the answers you're looking for at first. It's just allowing
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: your monkey brain, that brain that's inside of you that's going, going,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: going to not be there for a hot second. And
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: when I first started this journey, I thought I was
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: a terrible meditator. I didn't know how they did it,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: but I was listening to these. Actually, I was listening
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: because I was an entrepreneur, right? I'm listening to these
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: millionaires talk about the biggest thing that changed their life
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: was meditation. And I was like, well, if they're meditating,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: there's something I'm missing here. And so I would just
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: sit and the best tool I had was sitting quiet
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: and pretending like, like just allowing my thoughts to roll
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: by like clouds and pinning each individual thought to an
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: individual cloud as it rolls by. And then Focusing on
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: a space between those clouds. Because with clouds, as they
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: roll by, there's that beautiful blue sky that's behind it.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: And eventually the space between the clouds gets wider and
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: wider and wider. So that space between is what we
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: want to find. Because it's not clouding our judgment. All
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: of a sudden the clarity comes. because the blue sky
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: widens in our mind's eye. That is the first step.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Because meditation isn't about finding the answers you need in
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: those moments. It's about allowing yourself to come into a
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: clearer space in your mind so later on when you're
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: on a walk or later on when you're in a meeting,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Your mind hasn't been going a million miles a minute
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: since five o'clock in the morning when you woke up
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: or whatever time you wake up. So in the morning
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: or at night, best in the morning because there's less
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: stuff to clutter it later. So in the morning when
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: the first thing you can do is just clear the mind,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: that's the first step.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: So I love that. That's great. And I love the
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: example that you're giving with the clouds moving through. I've
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: never heard of that and I'm going to try it.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: But when you say monkey brain, I mean, that's me.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, not only one monkey, I have tons of
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: them just roaming around. And so I think, you know, like,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: let's look behind the curtain a little bit. And I
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: want to find out. So how does that come through
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: for you when you say that you want a little
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: bit more clarity and these things kind of come through?
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Is it a voice? Is it an understanding? How does
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: that come through?
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: It's really a, so number one, I just want to
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: preface and say that I was not a good meditator
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: for like a year or two. It took me a
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: long time to get beyond 30 seconds. I started just
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: trying to get 30 seconds of no thought. Eventually it
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: moved to a minute. And now, even though you can
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: have thought, like the thoughts themselves doesn't make you a
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: bad meditator. It's when you're ruminating on those thoughts when
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: you're sitting there. Allowing thoughts to go by is a
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: part of the process, and that's something that people miss
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: out on. They think that their mind has to be
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: completely clear for 15 minutes, you know, but that's not
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: the case. And so allowing yourself to give your space
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: to do that, since I've been doing it for, you know,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: a good decade consistently, now the, I call them downsides.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I call them downloads because that's what they feel like.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: And to describe them, that's exactly what it is. It's like,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: not my thought coming in. It's like, how did I
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: think of, I've just finished the first draft of my book,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: The Art of Lightness. And these methods, like the wicked
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: wall came through actually during a meditation. I wasn't thinking
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: of my book. And the word wicked came through in
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: a meditation. And for me, wicked is like cool. Like
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: when I spent time and lived in England, the kids
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: were saying, oh, that's wicked. You know, like, that's cool.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: And the wicked wall came through as an acronym. And
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: I heard it. I was like, okay, that's an acronym. Okay.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: And it's the barriers that... we're put up against when
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: we're going to our next level. And so W-I-C-K-E-D is worry, immobilization,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: conflict with self or others, our kryptonite, like the things
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: that get in our way all the time, emergencies, like
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: our kids fall at school and we have to go,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: you know, get them and take them to the doctor
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: or whatever, and then deflection. So that, that didn't come
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: from me. Like, how did I think of an acronym
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: called WICKED? It just like came through. And so those
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: kinds of aha moments are there for us if we
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: allow more silence. But silence brings the connection. Silence brings
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: the connection to our higher power. And when we can
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: really listen and be like just with, I go on walks.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I live in the city, but I love the parks
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: and I go for walks and I just get quiet
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: to listen. We don't do enough of that. And so
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: that's what comes through.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: That blows my mind just to hear the way that
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: you're downloading that information. I can't wait for that, for
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: me to get there.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: You're going to do it. You're going to do it.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I'll check back with you in 10 years.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Maybe it'll happen a lot faster for you.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Fingers crossed. So now going back, so you had these moments.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Is that how you came up with Soulpreneur Association?
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: My... The birth of Soulpreneurs Association was a evolution and
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: really it was about the practice that I had with
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: my life and business coaching clients because I knew that
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: there was a better way to align while doing business,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: a better way of doing business than what we had
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: been taught. And For me, it was I had to
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: find a better way than the way that people were
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: telling me online. And it worked like it totally worked.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: And so I built a six figure business just by
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: doing Facebook group work within a year and a half.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: And so from the ground up. And so it's it
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: really is a different way of being. And so Soulpreneurs
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Association was a a love, kind of like a love
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: community for people who needed something and wanted something different
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: than the other options out there.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: And what has it turned into today?
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: It's turned into a beautiful community of software lovers. I
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: know that's a big jump, but it's a community of
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: software lovers. They're in my Soul Software and Soulcast Studios.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: They build businesses and websites and I get to watch
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: people just thrive in their practice, whether it be a
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: nonprofit or a coaching business or a real estate business.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: They come from all walks of life.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: So they join your organization or the association and they
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: get the opportunity to sort of bring their business to
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: your infrastructure and set it all within.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Your Yes, yes. So the entry point is Soul Software
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: or Soulcast Studios, and they are able to get into
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: the software. We have calls twice a week, support calls,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: and those calls can be coaching calls, they can be
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: software calls, but it's always about finding more ease, fun, flow, alignment,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: and abundance in your life and business, no matter what
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: we're talking about.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: You talk about all of the boring stuff, and then
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: you also talk about alignment and all that great stuff
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: all along, all in one.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. What a balance. Would you be able to
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: share with us a kind of success story of someone
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: who's worked with you in the past?
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, I would love to. There is a... And, you know,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: like it's sensitive because these clients come from, you know,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: this is their personal life. But this particular woman has
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: given me permission to tell her story. And that is
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: she is a social worker. And she had been she's
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: been a social worker for over 20 years, working with
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: the police and the unhoused, helping the those that have needs,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: find the psychological help and resources and all of that.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: And she was, as a client, finding her alignment with
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: her businesses, whether it be that business or she also
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: had a lavender farm, that she has beautiful flowers there
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: and all of that. But anyway, at the time, something
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: of life happened to her. She actually got in touch
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: with me around 10 o'clock one night and was just
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: out of herself, like could not function because her son
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: had had a seizure on the way to Kansas City.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: And he had to be flown to St.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Louis, Barnes.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: And they found a large tumor on his brain. He
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: had glioblastoma. And she was just, we talked her through
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: the lightness method, basically, and helped her be able to
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: align herself to be able to be the mom and
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: best person she could be for her son. And through
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: this time, her son was able to be in this
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: groundbreaking study with WashU, partnered with the Mayo Clinic. And
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: I helped her through some very tough times within the
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: next year. But all of that to say that And
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: to put a happy ending on the story, her son
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: is completely free of the tumor now. And it's remarkable
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: all the things that happened. But during that time, it
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: was amazing to see how she was able to move
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: through and talk to others, other people who may have
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: been struggling with those same situations in a way that
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: helps them People not just survive, but feel free during
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: that time. Feel a sense of love over fear during
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: that time. And the lightness method teaches that. So within
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: the Soulpreneurs Association, I teach the lightness method. And it's basically,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: we're gonna feel what we feel. And in the toughest
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: of times, We have to be able to feel that.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: We cannot bypass what we feel. But we can go
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: down a darker path and be stuck in those feelings.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Or we can move. We can move that energy. And
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: we can find our alignment with our higher source, with
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: our inner being, with nervous system regulation, all of that.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: And then from there, what are we going to focus on?
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Are we going to focus on the recovery process? Are
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: we going to focus on Matthew living? Are we going
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: to focus on Matthew maybe dying? So the focus is
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: what matters. And sure, that feeling and that scare might
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: always come back and be there to haunt. But at
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: the same time, we have the choice on a daily
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: basis to find our alignment through feel, find, focus, and
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: then flow. And when we're flowing, we're no longer looking
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: at the fear, but instead, Enjoying our time with our
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: loved ones. She could enjoy her time with Matthew without worrying.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: How many times are we so burdened by the fear
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: and by the worry we can't even enjoy the present
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: moment with who we have right now? That's the work.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: The work isn't, let's get Matthew to recovery. That's the
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: work of the doctors and him doing what he needs
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: to do for healing Matthew. Our work, what we have
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: control over is how we feel in a present moment
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: with our loved ones, like right here and now. And
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: that is the success. The success is the present moment work. It,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: of course, is the success of the living. But also,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: more importantly, we're not going to fear what's next. We're
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: just going to live presently with what is.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: What a great story. Now, if someone wanted to work
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: with you today, What would that journey look like?
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: So to work with me today, you're welcome to come
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: into my Lightness Coach School. If you are a coach
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: or you are someone who wants to learn how to
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: help people through deeper conflicts, deeper wounds, deeper walls that
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: you see them hitting, maybe a coach or a consultant
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: can it feels like they're just hitting the surface and
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: doesn't know what to do really when things happen in
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: life and they maybe just let that person go and
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: go on to the next client. Why not actually get
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: the success story that you're looking for? And that is how,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: that is why I have the Lightness Coach School. So
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: coaches and consultants can see those success stories more often
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: with their clients. And then you can also enter through
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: the Lightness Lounge. It's a personal coaching opportunity. I come
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: and I'm there for you in personal coaching. So there's
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: a few ways and there's an easy entry point way.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: It's called the Light Drops. You can check it out
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: all on my website, virginia.vision. All three of those ways,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: entry points to come into what I have to offer
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: are there.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Is it just intended for people who have experience coaching
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: and assisting others? Or how about people who are just
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: aspiring to becoming a coach?
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is. It's intended for those who already feel
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: like they're intuitively coaching as well. So if you already
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: feel that you're a coach, even though you're not named one,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: you're welcome into the school as well. I have two
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: entry points into the school. So one is a little
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: lighter for those that have been coaching for years. And
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: then I have a little in-depth coaching feature that allows
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: people to do that in-depth work that if you are
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: just coming into coaching and you want to get more
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: one-on-one work with me, that would be the entry point there.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: How is the training delivered?
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: The training is delivered via recorded video. And then weekly,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I come with you and talk to you about whatever,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: wherever you are in the program. I did it this
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: way so people didn't have to enter from one month
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: to the next. Maybe they missed an entry point, like
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: a semester or something like that. I decided on keeping
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: this as a evergreen versus a this semester, that semester,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: just so people... can do it in their own time.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: And then after that, do they also become members of
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: the association? Yes.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: So all Lightness Coach School graduates are a part and
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: lifetime members of the Soulpreneurs Association.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: What would you say is the single most important takeaway
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: that you want our listeners to remember from this conversation?
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe something I haven't said yet, and that is feeling
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: is the most important thing to, or first step, into
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: getting everything that you want in life. If you forget
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: to feel what you feel, the nervous system will always
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: run your life. You don't have any control over it.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: And so once you understand that just by naming out
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: how you feel and moving from there into finding your alignment,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: you're going to find that you're going to manifest more
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: and be in a flow state much more in your life.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Great advice. Now, where can people connect with you online
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: and find out more about your work and continue this conversation?
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I am on Instagram at virginia.vision. I am
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: also on Facebook, virginia.vision. You can see the pattern there.
• 27:38
