Is it crazy to think that doing inner work could be the key to shifting outer circumstances? Recently I put my house in Austin Texas up for sale… I’ve had a shift in values over the last few years and as a result have wanted to own less materialistic things Owning an investment house became mental bandwidth that included finding renters, paying for repairs and high property taxes out here in Texas As a result about 5 months ago I decided… I am going to SELL it and be free of it At the suggestion of the real estate agent I put in about 40K to make it perfect with the intention that it will sell fast and I’d get back what I put in After the repairs and upgrades in February we put it on the market For weeks there was a lot of buzz with it People seeing it saying they liked it, open houses, etc However no offers came through in the first month And to be honest…. The market in Austin has been slow and down for the last few years Was I energetically attracted to it selling and holding energy that was blocking it from selling? If the outer reality is a reflection of the inner, what do I need to shift? In that frustration I was doing some inner reflection and had some big realizations… The way I related to the house was similar emotion to childhood I felt trapped by the house… it felt "not fair" (very similar to childhood energy where I felt stuck with controlling step mom) I bought when the market was growing and then it tanked I felt the burden of the house and that I was STUCK in it And NOW it’s not selling and I still feel trapped I was reading a book one night on healing the inner child and had a huge realization I felt "victim" to the situation. I was carrying the energy of this is happening TO ME The house was a reflection of how I felt about it and how I was showing up I also realized I was waiting to feel free ONCE the house sold So in this awareness I made a choice before falling asleep that night… I am not a victim. I can handle it. I will do what I need to do and be patient. God/the divine can take the wheel

Who did you have to be as a kid to receive the love or approval of mom and dad? Perfect? Quiet? A pleaser? Self reliant? This right here is one of the biggest shifts I see people have in coaching or at live events The roles we took on as a kid become the subconscious identity as an adult For me I adopted a role of “pleaser” due to having a controlling hard to please step mom If I could ease tension I could feel “safe” My dad had that pattern too and modeled it by not challenging or being assertive in his relationship For me to break this pattern I had to become “BAD” to the old role To be “good” meant to abandon myself, to make others happy, etc BAD was being selfish, expressing my emotions, setting boundaries, etc For me to create this SHIFT… I had to lean into tension and express the real me I had to take on the values of "authenticity" and “vulnerability” I had to catch my desire to ease other people's tension and let them sit with it knowing it is theirs not mine to manage This tension became the initiation into a new me Years ago as I started this shift I had to reconnect to certain friends to express how I felt I had to be honest moving forward over wanting approval It resulted in self respect, self acceptance and feeling safe inside of my own body And the crazy thing… as a result others respected me as a reflection I was able to go deeper with people and felt more connected to myself and THEM Yes some people fell out of my life as a result of this authenticity… and in their place other relationships and friendships formed It's all a part of the process :) What role are you letting go of or becoming aware of? What would be a way of leaning into the tension of breaking that pattern? And who would you be without that pattern? Remember, it's a pattern… NOT you :) Talk to you soon, Aaron (you’re the SOUL not the ROLE) Doughty

hi everyone! great call today! we talked about the real transformation that happens when you stop trying to control your patterns and start accepting the emotions underneath them you may be aware of your people-pleasing, perfectionism, hyper-independence or fixer patterns but awareness alone doesn’t always create freedom these patterns were often created as survival mechanisms at some point, a part of you learned, “If I please, I’ll be loved” “If I’m perfect, I’ll be safe” or “If I do everything myself, I won’t be let down” but the pattern is not who you are. it’s simply something you learned to feel safe letting go isn’t about forcing yourself to change overnight it’s about observing the old pattern, feeling the emotion behind it, and choosing let it go to feel more whole and complete when you stop trying to manage everyone else’s emotions stop needing the outcome to look a certain way and begin accepting where you are right now…you shift into that new version of you that wanted to express itself embodiment begins by loving the part of you that created the pattern, and allowing yourself to become free!

hey everyone, today’s call was awesome! we talked about being aware of your patterns… yet you still find yourself repeating them that’s because the pattern isn’t the real issue, it’s protecting you from feeling something deeper whether it’s people pleasing, overthinking, or avoiding conflict, it’s a strategy your nervous system learned a long time ago to feel safe, loved, or in control So instead of asking “why do I keep doing this?” you can go within and ask "what is this protecting me from feeling?” to go even deeper, “who did you have to be to receive love growing up?” that’s the role you learned… and is likely still running your life today know that you are not the role, you are the awareness behind it and the moment you feel what’s underneath and choose to think, feel and act differently that’s where transformation begins and your pattern breaks!
