Preparing for takeoff in 3, 2, 1. Your mission, everything you thought it could be. Despite the odd, >> beyond no limit because you were born for this. A visionary's journey. Once upon a time, there was you.

Hello, gorgeous people of the Mission to Millions Master Class. So excited to see you today. It's a very sunny winter Sunday morning, 10:00 a.m., bright and early for a Sunday morning call. And, um, it feels kind of magical because I can see like all the heavy branches, all the snow is kind of like bouncing off the heavy branches, and it feels quite magical around me this morning. So, it feels like a perfect day for this. Thank you for tuning in from all over the place. I can see that some of you are in similar time zones than me, and some of you are in all kinds of different places in the world. Thank you, you guys.

And so today, we are going to talk about more of the self. And to me, this is the part that is the most misunderstood in personal development. And it's the thing that most people will literally chase their entire lives. This feeling that they're looking for, when in fact, the goal was not to look for it. It was just to amplify it because it was already there. So, I don't know if you've ever had a teenager that asks, that goes to the fridge looking for something, and they're like, "Where is it?" And you're like, "It's right in front of your face." And they're like, "I can't see it." And you're like, "It's, it's right there." And they're like, "It isn't here." And you're like, "It's right there." And they said they can't see it. And then you go right in front of them and you pick it out in front of them in the fridge, and they're like, "Oh, that's kind of what this is like. It's right there in the fridge." And we go looking everywhere for it.

So, I want to start today's livestream with one of the draws. Two people are going to win the $2,222 in Alphaba bucks. I want to thank you guys so much for your shares. Um, so the first one is going to be drawn right here at the beginning, and then we will do the other one at the end. Another thing that you can do, my team's going to keep calculating the shares while I'm live, is you can just take a little video while I'm live and post it. And at the end, whoever has done that, we will tally up and do the second draw at the end. So, Alpha Fem team, do you want to draw a first person today? And we'll do the other one. Drum roll, please. Drum roll. Drum roll for the Alpha team. Our first winner today of $2,222 is Ili Pavo. Ill Pavo, congratulations. You are our first winner of the $2,222 in all books.

Okay, so let's talk about self. Now, why this to me is so important is because there's nothing wrong with us. That's not what personal development is about. When you think about child development, we don't do child development because there's something wrong with children. We do child development so that children grow to be as brave and bold and outspoken and all the things as possible. It's, it's a development, not a fixing. And so personal development to me is the thing that human beings decide to do when they don't have to anymore because the real truth is, past a certain point, we're really not encouraged to grow anymore, which is quite strange. Like, if you think about it, we have, I'm so happy you were here. Congratulations. When you think about it, we have like the school system that's kind of created for us. This is going to bug me. So unprofessional what I'm going to do, but this is like not gonna be go. This is not going to work for me. Give me one moment. Much better. Okay. So, so there's nothing actually wrong with us. No. Now, the other side's not even one moment. Please, please hold. Okay. Hopefully that's it. So, there's nothing wrong with us. We're not doing it because there's something wrong with us. We're doing it because there's actually a moment in life where it's just so easy to say, "I'm a grown-up now. I love you, too. I'm a grown-up now. I've done all the things. I've been through school. I have a job. If I get a promotion, fabulous. But like, what other reasons do I have to grow? Like, why would I? Unless I'm going to get any kind of validation for it or a trophy for it, like, what's the point?" Yet, when we are with people and they are struggling with themselves, our biggest dream for them is that they're going to continue to evolve. You hope that your partner is going to continue to evolve. You hope that your kids, even though they're grown adults, are going to continue to evolve. You hope that your clients are going to continue to evolve. You hope your boss is going to continue to evolve. You hope your employees are going to continue to evolve. Like, we are really hoping that everyone around us is not fully cooked, that they've still got evolution. Not because there's something wrong with them, but because this is what we hope is that we're going to grow with people who are growing. And then it comes to us and we're like, "Either I need to fix something or I take a break."

And so what I understood in this process is that if you do personal development because you think there's something wrong with you, you won't do it properly. In the same way, a child that goes to school because they think there's something wrong with them and if they don't learn, they're useless, will not do it the same way. Anything we do because we think we're fixing something, we do differently than what we do when we feel we're creating something. So to me, personal development is the creation of myself in a conscious way because there's a million other things I could focus on, and it's actually quite easy for me to just not focus on my development. I can focus on other things, other people, a million tasks, cooking, cleaning, doing my laundry. There's a million things to do, and evolving my mind, my spirit, my emotional intelligence, that's not top of the priority unless it's top of the priority. But it's not because there's something wrong with me. That's not why I do it. I do it for a greater life experience. I do it so that the people in my life have a greater life experience of me. I do it because every time I evolve, it feels like the beginning.

So when I look at people that feel old, and there's a lot of people in my life that I, that I cross paths with in regular life, you know, that complain about getting old. And every single one of them, there's something in common. Every single person who complains about being old has stopped evolving. And every person who's celebrating age, every person who's saying the best is yet to come, those are people who are experiencing themselves as fresh, as the best they've ever been. My grandmother used to say, "Aging is a privilege denied to many." So the idea is that we age with gratitude and with a feeling that we are upgrading with every year, not that we're deteriorating. And what the feeling is of "I used to be better" means I'm not growing. But in the Alpha Fem world, I have clients that are in their 60s, 70s. I have a client that's 78 years old. The best is yet to come. What we really want is to feel like we are constantly building the the latest version, not because the last version was wrong. Because what's about this version? What do we want to be? What do we want to do?

And so the way I love to look at my life is that there's different phases of me. I, I, I love to think of the childhood phase as this like beautiful chapter that was written, but I'm going to continuously understand it more in hindsight. I'll understand my youth as I age, which is the craziest thing. I think I know everything about my childhood until I grow up, and then I keep plucking pieces. Then I, it makes more sense. Then I see the beauty. I see the magic. I see the simplicity. I see more and more and more of who I was and what I had. Then I had a phase of being like a teenager or young kid, you know, like starting to develop myself. And although there was a lot of difficulties in that phase, I'm actually learning to understand what I was going through at that point. And I'm actually experiencing myself in a much more beautiful way when I look back at who I was then.

I actually had a conversation with a client in my Instagram DMs a couple of, I think a couple of weeks ago, and she was talking to me about how her daughter is doing this work with her. It was her 13th birthday, and she was able to like overcome people not going to her birthday party and actually hold the vision of that birthday party being amazing, and they re-reinvited other friends or held the vibe and finally ended up being her best birthday party ever. And in receiving this from her, it rewrote a story about my 13-year-old birthday party because I realized that if I, if my life is affecting other 13-year-olds, then the 13-year-old that I was is being rewritten because I thought I had no choice when things like that happened to me. I thought that that was just the way life was. But 13-year-olds that are listening to me speak now are seeing that they can hold the vision and manifest the birthday party they want, and things are changing. I could have. And so instead of the story that I couldn't and nobody cared, I have the story that I didn't know the magical powers that were available to me, and I could have had that 13th birthday party. That rewrites history for me. Instead of being the victim as a young kid who didn't get the birthday party, all of a sudden I'm just Melanie and layer in the making. That was your daughter Heather. So, I'm just Melanie and layer in the making because that I could have in a different timeline. If you bent time and I was the one watching with my mom, and someone had spoken something that made my mom have the tools to tell me something in that moment, maybe I would have rewritten history for myself then. But if it's a possibility in the past, then the past is rewritten because having no choice was a part of the story that can't exist anymore. So, the past is being rewritten.

And so I also see the parts of me like kind of lost, you know, just kind of young adult and feeling like I am not equipped to be an adult. I don't have what it takes. I've not, I've not done the right things yet, and I'm, I don't know how I'm supposed to become this person that I want to be proud of because I don't, I don't, I don't actually see how I'm going to do it. I don't have the right tools. And then that being rewritten because that's the version of me who ends up sleeping in a car, and then I become Millia and lay in the making. So all these things get rewritten, and right now I'm in this phase, but there's another phase that's going to come, and then another one, and then another one, and then another one. And so it's more like, how do I want to live this phase the best I possibly can, knowing that it's very possible that come the future, I'll get codes that I realize would have helped me be even stronger now. It's possible. But right now, I'm doing the best I'm doing right now. I'm loving my life. I'm taking, I'm, I'm really loving every moment, and I'm, a lot of the things of the past are being rewritten. Places where I thought I had no choice, places where I thought I was failing, I actually realize now with the way the story is unfolding that, you know, it was all the way that it was supposed to be.

And so if I see these patterns about myself, instead of now being all this, this like stress to say, "Look, I've got to be excellent now because there's no other way that I can be great in the future unless I'm excellent now." I'm like, "Well, that's not true because look at all the times I was not excellent. I was not excellent as a young teenager. I was not excellent as a teenager. I was not excellent as a young woman. I was not excellent as a 25-year-old. I was not excellent. And yet here I am right now feeling the best I've ever felt." So, is it true that I need to have been excellent in the past in order for the future to be excellent? No. So, what if instead of worrying about excellence, I cared more about presence? I cared more about living, loving. Really, really notice what, what life is giving me because in hindsight, more caring, more loving, more patient, more forgiving, more all the things that actually make us who we are.

And so we do get distracted sometimes by what it should look like, or whether or not we're advanced enough, or whether or not we're successful enough, or whether or not we look like we're something. But the real truth of all of it is that where it matters the most is inside, how it feels. I have been feeling successful since 2013. I remember literally just like manifesting a free coffee and feeling like I'd unlocked the gates to the universe. Even if I had to sleep in my car half the nights of the week, the way I thought about life when I was in that car, I felt, I felt like I'd unlocked the keys to the universe. When I lived in that tiny little apartment with Kevin, and I just, I had manifested that place because I, it's either that or I was sleeping in my car, and I manifested this place, and I meet Kevin, and there's all these magical things happening in my life, and I was like, "I, I have the keys to the universe. Like, I, I am it. I got it. I understand life." I felt successful then. I felt successful when I had a few clients that was the invisible coach, and I was building Alpha, not even Alpha Fem yet, building a coaching business from the front seat of my car. I felt like I'd cracked the code. And when I, oh my gosh, when the words Alpha Fem came out of my mouth, oh my gosh, I felt like I cracked the code. It's like, every time I felt it, I didn't need to make millions of dollars to feel that. Honestly, like manifesting a coffee while my toes were cold, what felt not like magic? So, every little thing, if I was present enough to experience it, felt like I was compounding something. Like there was a buildup of evidence of truth, a buildup of truth in what I was believing in. And whatever there was that wasn't in alignment, I would just say, "Well, you know, that just happens. Shadows of who I used to be," and I just let it go with no attachment and just focus on all the little things.

Now, what, what has been really wonderful in my life, and I, I really talk about this quite a little bit, like the first memory that I have where I felt like my life will never be the same. My life is entirely changed. It was in 2017. I had created Alpha Fem in the summer. I had launched it. I had launched the brand in June. I had done my, opened the free Alpha Fem Facebook group in August. And it's my birthday coming up. I'm going to be 30 years old. I've just started Alpha. I feel like I have found my calling. I feel like I've, I've found what I want to do, but I'm nowhere near what I'm doing now. It's the beginning, you know. And I, it's my birthday, and so my family says they're doing a family dinner for me at my parents' house, and they're taking forever to be ready. So Kevin and I are driving around and stopping in in a little village, having coffee, having a little bite to eat, just walking around waiting for them to be ready. And then he says, "Okay, they're not going to be ready for a while. Let me take you on a little drive." So, he takes me on a drive, and he blindfolds me, and I'm like, "What is happening?" And I arrive at this place, and he takes, gets me out of the car. It's super quiet. And then I step into a place, and it smells like my parents' house. So, I'm very confused. I'm like, "Where am I? Where are we? Are we at my parents' house?" And so he takes the blindfold off, and in front of me is all my family and closest friends, all dressed in black and white, with a big 30 in the background, in the most beautiful log cabin I have ever seen. It's decorated like my brand that had already started being kind of what it is now, this like moody aesthetic, and they were like, "We had to celebrate Alpha Fem in style." My family, my family, the ones where I had always felt like the one that didn't belong, the one that wasn't good enough, the one that wasn't whatever it is, had recognized Alpha Fem as a brand, as an aesthetic, as a style, as a vibe, as me. They had gone above and beyond. This is the greatest birthday experience of my life. They've all chipped in together, and they're all wearing clo, you know, like imagine it's me. They're all dressed in black and white. Like, all my pictures are going to be perfect. They've decorated the place perfect. I felt so incredibly seen.

And this is when I knew my life would be different because it didn't matter if anyone in the world ever knew what, what blew my mind is the closest people to me saw how much I had grown. The, the closest people to me said, "You really have completely turned your life around. You really are such an incredibly different person," and were so blown away. And that was the beginning of a huge shift for me because I was like, "If my family can see it, I don't need to prove anything to anyone." Like, that's when you really know when your mother says, "You're not the same. You really have done it." When you're being seen as someone who's doing something big by people who you felt really like undermined by, not on purpose, but just like, "That's not the path they wanted for me. They wanted me to go to school and get a degree and do all these things," and like, that's not what I was doing. And so for them to recognize this was just a miracle for me. And I just remember feeling like 100 ft tall after that. And it just felt like, "If my family can feel me strong, that's what matters the most because they see it. They see the truth of it." And that was a pivotal moment for me.

So, as I've built Alpha Fem, what I realized is that of all the world, of the whole world, matters. The whole world matters. But I'll never be able to show the world that I've changed because they didn't know me. The codes of "I have evolved" and "I've really let this personal development work evolve me" is going to be seen the most by people who knew me from the beginning. Everyone else meets me and thinks, "Oh, well, yeah, of course it works for you. Look, with your little bougie things and your little bougie things and your little bougie things. Of course you, it works for you." But like, they saw the evolution. And I've often had, I've been to personal development events. I've been to places where they say, you know, "You, you're going to outgrow your friends. You're going to outgrow your family. You're, you're going to have to have, you're have to have to upgrade and this and that." And it's like, no, my best friends are still my best friends. I'm actually closer to my family than ever before. Because the thing is, I didn't just change like I'm better. I changed like I'm great. I evolved. I didn't just have more expensive taste and be successful and not want to talk about negative things. Like, that's not who I became. And I became wiser and deeper and more profound and more patient and more forgiving and more loving and more honest. Like, these are the things that actually matter the most in our lives. I've become the path of least resistance for everything that matters for all the people I care about the most. If we need, if there needs to be a solution, I'm there. If there needs to be a strategy, I'm there. If there needs to be an energy shift, I'm there. If there needs to be a party, I'm there. If there needs to be a celebration, I'm there. If there needs to be an intervention, I'm there. If there needs to be, I'm there. I got it. I create magic. I create memories. I create the most extraordinary life for everyone that I, that I can, that I love. And I also there for all the hard stuff. I can't believe that that's me because there's a time that I feel like I was creating all the hard stuff, and I ran away from difficult conversations, and I was always afraid that I wasn't enough. And all of a sudden, I just stopped trying to be better, and I started just evolving and seeing my progress and enjoying my life and myself and being really aware and grateful for everything I was building. And I, I became bigger, stronger, more capable of holding the pressure.

And so, a lot of times women are coming to me and they're like, "How do I become more successful?" And the way that they're seeing it is it's like an externalized thing that's going to start to come in. They're going to get more money. They're going to get more visibility. They're going to get more something. Something from the outside is going to come in. But what I've really found is that the way we do this is that we find something on the inside that's always been there, and it starts to shine from the inside out. That's what starts to change things for us because that glow that we start to emanate, people start to feel it. It's not something that you try to stick on you that could fall off. It's something that glows from the inside out. And people go, "Wow." When I see that glow inside of you, I'm reminded that I have that. Instead of, "Oh, whatever you stuck on you, where did you get that? Where did you get that?" Because it's clearly stuck on you. So, where did you get it? I want that. Instead of you remind me that I also have that same glow.

But it isn't easy because I really have seen this in so many different angles, as much for myself as for a lot of the women that I've worked with and the clients that I've worked with. It's difficult for us not to look at evidence and say, "This isn't working," or "This is really hard," or "I can't do it with this person or that person," or "It's easy for you to say because you've got this, but I've got this." And the truth is, every single thing that we're learning, we're learning one day at a time. Every single thing we're doing, we're doing one day, one day at a time. One moment at a time. One little moment at a time. That's how we do it.

When I, when I look back, people often ask like, "How did you do it?" And it's like, in every moment where I was presented an opportunity to think, to feel, to act, I chose the best possible choice as often as possible. And what's the best possible choice? More loving, more grounded, more able to hold pressure, more forgiving, more caring, more present, more aware, as often as possible. And when that became more and more often, more and more often, the compound effect of that started becoming exponential. But there are things in my life that have happened that have made it difficult to just choose the right thing because there's triggers where before I'd even realized what I've chosen, my nervous system responded for me, something that reminded me of something. I didn't even realize it. And I had this strong like, "No." I, I pushed back. I said, "I don't want to, I don't want to talk to you anymore. I don't want to be your friend anymore. You're not safe for me, or you're dangerous. You're done with me." I, I've responded in ways where I'm like, "Nope, no, this isn't safe. This isn't safe." I've responded quickly. I've made decisions quickly that have ended up having negative outcomes. But when I've been able to have that space to really lean into myself and breathe and choose the strongest path, not the safest path, the strongest path. And to choose like that as often as possible. Something happened in my life. And so different phases have made this more difficult. Different phases felt like this was easier. But ultimately, all those phases are me, and all the phases that are coming are also me. So whether I nail them all or not, the idea is that the majority of the decisions that I'm making are in alignment with the greatest path, choosing evolution and growth over a lifetime, and being okay with not always knowing what, what that looks like in the moment.

So, you'll hear me say, "You're, you're going to wonder how to do it till you wonder how you did it." And what I really mean by that is that how can you know in advance what the path is going to be when you're not on it yet? So, first you choose the path, and then it will present something, and then you're going to face that at the greatest of your abilities, and then it'll lead you somewhere else, and then you'll face that to the greatest of your abilities, and then it'll take you somewhere else, and then you'll face that and try to do it to the greatest of your abilities. But choose safety instead and go the other way. And so that'll bring you to another path, and then you'll have to choose from that path. And so by the time you get to where you were going, when someone asks you, "How did you get here?" You'll be like, "Well, I can't just tell you how because I would have to tell you all the wrong turns I took. I don't know if that's actually the best way for you. But what I can tell you is I made the best choice I could, the greatest choice I could, every option there was for a choice, and I course-corrected. But I wouldn't want you to take the exact same path as me because I don't know if that's the way. I don't know if that's how you get there. But I do know that I got there, and I know that I learned along the way. And I know that I discovered myself along the way. And I know that that was my journey. But I, I don't think I could even set back up from where I was and tell you in order what I did because I can't remember. There were a bunch of turns that were like, "Whoop, that is not the right direction. Whoops." But I made it. And that's a lot of times what life is like.

But if you don't know the path, and the reason you're not going to set off at all is because you don't know the path, and you're just asking people who made it, "How did you get there?" And they're like, "It's not that simple. You got to get in your car and start driving. Call me when you get some drive, and when you're stuck and you don't know where to go, call me and I'll tell you what I think." And you're like, "No, no, no, no, no. I need to know in advance." You're like, "I didn't know in advance." It's like, "Yeah, but you've done it now. Couldn't you just tell me the full path?" And it's like, "No, I don't even know where you're starting from. We're not even starting from the same address. How am I supposed to give you directions? I don't even know where you're starting. Get yourself on the highway and then call me from there." "How do I get on the highway?" "Trust yourself. Get on the highway."

So, we're so afraid of messing up. And that seems like a, it seems like a grown-up thing to do to make sure you don't mess up. But I think it's a trap because if you take anyone you care about, take a little child, take a teenager, and have them be in complete paralysis of being afraid of messing up and not want to take any kind of risks in their lives, you'd be heartbroken. You'd be like, "You've got to try. You've got to go out there. You've got to. But what if it doesn't work?" "You've, you've got your whole life ahead of you. You've got to start trying things that you don't know if it's going to work. You're going to be fine." "But what if I'm embarrassed? What if it doesn't work? What if I mess up? What if?" "You might, but that would be terrifying. What if my friends think that I'm not good enough? And what if my friends think that I'm this and I'm that?" And then I don't think they will. And if they do, it's a mirror of what they fear about themselves because they're also going to figure things out in their lives. You better hope they're not thinking that, or else they're stopping themselves from going all out in their lives, too. If you be brave, you might help them all be brave.

Got to own yourself and your mistakes. You got to own yourself and the wrong turns. Because in hindsight, when you retell the story, you might actually find out that it wasn't a wrong turn. That because of that, because of that wrong turn, this extraordinary thing happened. I took a wrong turn, and then turns out there was ice cream. It was lovely. It's not just bad. It's not just wrong. Sometimes it's a plot twist. Plot twist. I've had some of the greatest things in my life. May there always be ice cream. I love that. But like, how I, some of the greatest moments of my life were plot twists. Meeting Kevin was a plot twist. This house I'm in right now was a plot twist. When we, my sister and Kevin and I got stuck, and there's worse places to be stuck. I say stuck because we actually were stuck. My brother was about to have his first daughter any minute. We couldn't leave Hawaii. We were grounded on the big island, and there were no flights out. And when we were coming back into Canada, there were all these crazy rules, like you couldn't stay with anyone who was over 50. If you'd been traveling, you couldn't stay with anyone that was that hadn't been traveling. You, and all the hotels were closed, and all the Airbnbs were closed, and we didn't have a house. We've been traveling for 10 years. And it was like, "Well, what, what are we going to do?" And so we had to buy a house. Now, I'd been bankrup, I'd been bankrupt. I thought, "They'll never lend to me. There's no way. I don't have." I was a millionaire at this point, but still, I didn't think anyone would lend to me. And I was like, "How are we going to go from having the entire world at our fingertips to living in a house between two houses on a street? How am I going to do that?" I felt so free. I'm going to just be so trapped. And there were curfews, and there were all kinds of things. It was like crazy. And we got a real estate agent and started looking, and this is like the first house we, we came to. It's an island in the middle of the river. There's a, a bridge. We go over the island, and then it's a glass house in the middle of a river on a, on an island. And we were able to live the entire pandemic here in this house. We could walk on our land. There's deer everywhere, fox, and the river is rushing, and there's century-old trees towering, and it's just the most magical place, and we could walk out. We could go everywhere. It was our own island. Like, how did I get this place? We weren't thinking of settling down yet. We weren't thinking of buying a house yet. We were still traveling. Plot twist. This is the coolest place ever. This, this house is incredible. And we had nothing. We had no furniture. We literally slept on a mattress in front of a fireplace for 2 years, and it was the best. It's like grown-up camping, like living my best life in this huge empty house made of glass in the middle of a river. Free as a bird. Plot twist. In the middle of a snowstorm in the, in a Honda Civic in the middle of Sherbrook, Quebec, Canada, I found the Godzone. Plot twist. Plot twist. So many incredible plot twists in my life.

So, I don't wait. I don't care about the plan. What plan? My life is far more fun without one. I love the plot twist. I can, I can aim for something, but if I get sideswiped by something, I'm like, "Okay, trust ball. Okay, let's go figure it out." And it's like, I'm not afraid of living because I mean, I've only got a hundred years of this if I'm lucky. So, and this is one of my favorite ways of living life. And I'd love for you to take this on because I honestly think this is what makes my life so magical.

I, I remember when Kevin and I first met, I manifested this place because it was like, "You come, you, well, you come to Toronto, we're going to teach you a new product. You're going to teach other people the product, and while you're here, we're going to, you're going to have a place to stay." It was like, "Oh my gosh, I just got plucked out of my car and put into a condo." Just turns out Kevin also lives there. And I just remember the feeling of being there and just having a house, like all of a sudden from nothing. All of a sudden I have this, this house I get to stay in, and the backyard, like there was like a, a back porch or whatever it was, and it was completely disgusting. Like overgrown, but also they'd thrown cardboard boxes on the, on the wood and left it there for like 2 years. So they bought a couch. Whoever was in charge of that condo bought a couch and put the cardboard boxes that the couch was in, it's like IKEA couch, on the back porch, and it rotted. There was like maggots underneath it. It was disgusting. And I was like, "I, if I'm going to live here, I want to live." So I went and I, I washed everything off. It was disgusting. I cut the trees. I, I made it look like the secret garden back there. And I'll, I'll never forget like that summer where Kevin and I kind of made that into the most beautiful thing. He came home one day with a hammock and a net, like a Christmas net of lights, and we hung it above, and we used to sit and look at our little twinkling lights as if they were stars because everything was overgrown. You couldn't see the sky. And we used to dream of things like, "Can you imagine? We used to say like, we could be anywhere right now. We could be anywhere in the world right now. Where would we be?" And we were just saying things, places we could be, what we would do. And we just played the what-if game. What if? And imagine. And what if? And we imagined it.

And I will tell you that in my extravagant dreams where I have limitless amount of money, in my imagination, everything is just a little more extraordinary than you could possibly imagine in my La La Land kind of dream state, when it is very much like a movie when I imagine it. And so when we became successful, I really believe that a lot of this money comes from the fact that we put into the God zone what we would do. Like, "What will you do if you actually become the wealthiness that you are praying for?" Because when you're praying for it, when you're manifesting it, you're manifesting it like epic. Like it's, it's magic in your mind when you see it, but do you actually live it that way when you have it, or do you continue to fear? Do you receive everything you prayed for in the most high vibrational, creative, magical way, and then you receive it and you play small in case you lose it? So my promise was that I would be with money exactly the way I imagined it. Because if for any chance I received it because of the way I said I would be with it, I want to make right by my promises. And there's a lot of things that we do where I'm like, "This is the life of a person that had no money that has money." Because it really does feel like a kid in the candy shop. It feels like Home Alone, adult version, like when we used to sleep on the couch in, or in on the bed, just a mattress on the floor in front of the fireplace. I used to laugh. I just laughed so hard. It was like, "What are we doing? We are grown people. We're having pantsless pizza." We used to call it pantsless pizza. We would just like have dinner on the mattress in front of the fire with no pants on and just be so hilariously happy. Like pantsless pizza nights. And we, we don't even have a TV here. We were watching on our computer on, on the mattress in front of the fire, like freedom, like a child, like a child that suddenly got everything they ever wanted in that kind of gratitude. We would literally run around the living. Kevin would start running after me, and I would just run through the house. This is a completely empty house. And we would just run around the fireplace, around the thing, and then just collapse onto bed laughing our, our heads off. Like, "What are we doing? This is ridiculous." Like grown-up kids in a big place, but it's like we were free. Neither one of us come from money. Neither one of us ever had this before. And I was like, "We could have become so professional and just, you know, with a ledger," but instead we had money practices like money jars, which some of you will get a chance to do with me if you ever do the AF or Resolution Revolution or Midyear Manifesto, but throwing money in the air and saying, "We're grateful. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." And, you know, having the kinds of money rituals that make you think, "Are these people insane?" And the answer is yes. They're so happy. They're nuts. But this is the beauty. It's like when you receive everything you always wanted, how will who will you be? How do you signal to the universe? How do you signal to God, thank you? You be as extravagantly happy as you promised you would be. And that's been the greatest part of this. I am with my life the way I saw I would be.

And I was sharing this with one of my clients in House of Vote yesterday because she reminded me of another memory when we were grounded in Hawaii. It was very interesting because all the hotels were closed, all the restaurants were closed, all the parks were closed, we couldn't go to the beach, but we had manifested. I had booked this house for 3 days. It was the craziest huge house you've ever seen. We did not need this house. We just wanted it for social media posts, photo shoots. Like, it was like exciting to go in this house. And it's while we were in this house that they shut Hawaii down. So, we're in this house, and they're like, "You can't leave." And, uh, if you stay, here's the bill. And I was like, "Oh my gosh." I negotiated, but it was like $1,000, $1,500 US a night to stay there instead of like $3,000 something. And I was terrified. We stayed there for two full months. But I was like, "Okay, we're here now, so how are we going to live?" And on top of everything, we ended up deciding to be for the world, and all of the work that we put in, and the elevated everything that came from that space, and me really saying like, "I'm a leader of leaders, and I'm going to help people during this time because for the first time, we all have a common fear on earth, and so we have connection for the first time. Like, let's, let's tap into that belonging, basically, and maybe I'll be able to get through to people." I, I had a feeling, and it went extraordinary ways. But the thing we did that was so magical is we lived. Yeah. Like $45,000 a month. $45,000 a month, and we were there for two months. Like $100,000. I was not equipped for this. Um, plus when we got to Hawaii, I got my tax bill for that year, and my tax bill was half a million dollars. So, I got my tax bill for the year before, I paid it with one click. I was so proud of me. And then the pandemic, my brother loses his job, my dad loses his job, his business, my mom loses her job, everything all at the same time. And now we're stuck in this place that's costing us $90,000, almost $100,000 just to be there. The pressure is building, but at the same time, it was like, we, this is either the beginning or the end. So, what are we going to do? And we really, I'll never forget, we went to Target and we completely redecorated the place. We, I have memories of my sister and I just going through things in Target and getting all the plates and all the things, and all, and every day was like doing the setup. We did the most beautiful setups. We made this place look like something out of a magazine. It, it, it didn't even make sense because Hawaii has like an older style. We made it look, oh my gosh, I'm going to post pictures in the group. And we did the most incredible things. Like we weren't allowed to go anywhere. So we actually made a setup in the back of our Jeep. We had my sister called it a Jeep-up truck because it was a Jeep with a pickup box in the back. And we made a little setup in the back, and we made it with candles and roses and all these things. And we just laid in the back of the Jeep-up truck looking at stars and looking at the house because it was like, this is such a beautiful house. There's nowhere to go. What's the view we want to look at? We'll look at the stars. We'll look at the palm trees. We'll look at the house. We, we did this thing where we would, we would do Cafe Shannon or Restaurant Shannon or Scotty McFace was Kevin's, I don't know why Kevin's restaurant was called Scotty McFace. And it would be like, I would sit with my sister, and Kevin would come and take our order and be like, "Welcome to Shay Scotty McFace. Here's your menu." And like he would create this menu, and we would order, and then he would cook it, and my sister and I would just sit there all night and talk while Scotty McFace would deliver the food that he took. And then other nights it would be Kevin and I, a romantic thing, and then Shannon would come, all proper, "Hello, take your order," and like really took on the personality and took on the whole thing so that we could like dream a little bit because it was the three of us in there every single day, non-stop for two months, not leaving the place. And so we made it. We created setups. We, we laughed. We played. We, we made it beautiful. We just, I'll never forget. But also, I, I showed the world. We lived it, and we shared it. And I think a lot of people just kind of lived vicariously through our silliness during that, that time. But it's like, if you are, if the whole world shuts down, just think about this in your head. The world shuts down, and you could be anywhere, and you end up being with your sister, who's like your favorite person in the world, and your fiancé, who's your favorite person in the world, and you end up in a mansion in Hawaii where you get sunsets and sunrises like a panoramic view every single day. You have this huge pool with a swim-up bar. The place is way too big for the three of you. It doesn't even make sense. Take away the pressure and the financial pressure. Take it away because you can't control that now. But you're in this place, and you're stuck there, and the world is shut down, in your best imagination of who you could be. Not in your practical self, in your best dream.

self. How would you hope you would live that? Wouldn't you hope that you would have it in you to be wild enough to play and to actually make it magical and insane and to fully just surrender to life and say, "You know what? Let's make this the most beautiful thing. Let's play games. Let's play makeelie. Let's make it the most beautiful thing."

Like, let's just. We don't even know what's going to happen in the world. It could literally be the end. We have no idea. Let's just be nuts. Who gets to live this? And that's how we lived. And I really do believe that we were exponentially rewarded for that because this is where, in the middle here, my business went from doing like a hundred, $200,000 a month to like three, four, $500,000 a month. And then there was a huge, like attack, cyber attack because people were like mad that I had all this freedom and all these things during a difficult time, which I completely understand. And so then there was like a crash, but I just kept being me and new people came in and a couple of months later I had my first million-dollar month, all in the same year. And all my clients started doing incredible things, the ones that stayed. And it was just a magical thing. And then we got the island. And then we were sleeping in front of the fireplace. And then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then.

And so my invitation for you is that no matter what you think you're creating, whatever you think you're building, no matter what you think the external thing is that you are trying to affect, it is it is connected to you by a vibrational string. Whatever it is you believe you are building, you are, but it is connected to you by a vibrational string. The wiser you are, the more playful you are, the wilder you are, the freer you are, the braver you are, the more willing you are to go be what you always felt you would be. Willing to give it a shot, willing to be brave, willing to be bold, willing to make a chance, take a chance, willing to write the stories in your life that later on actually have people lean back and go, "Gosh, I love that story." And that it's your life. Willing to take chances, willing to be nuts, willing to be. And just for the craziest things like, what, what could you do today for you, for your kids? The holidays are coming. What could you do for you, for your kids, for your relationship that would be a little out there?

So, today before this call, I had my brother come over with his kids, and I've been doing the Elf on the Shelf thing. And some of you know I've been telling you about it. And this morning I put both the elves in front of a huge bowl of popcorn. And the other night my brother had his two kids watch. They had movie night. And they never really watched TV before. So it was going to be their first ever movie night of their life around Christmas time. And so they put their their mattress in their living room in front of a little fireplace that I gave them. And it's a not a real one so the kids don't touch it. And they're just jumping on the mattress going, "Movie night, movie night." And so they sent us this clip and I put it on my portable television on a loop. I put the two elves in front of them going, "Movie night, movie night," with a big bowl of popcorn. The kids walked in to elves watching them on television eating popcorn. They were tickled pink. They could not believe it. They thought it was the most hilarious thing in the whole world.

And then we put our snowsuits on and our big snow boots on and we went into the forest. I've done this with Frankie on a day where it was snowing, but today it's a sunny day and we went deep into the forest and if you've watched my Instagram story, that song that I played on my Instagram story, um, Bells of Christmas it's called, that's one of my favorites. We walked in and Kevin played Bells of Christmas on his phone as we walked through the forest to this beautiful red letter box that says the North Pole Post on it. And they came with a special Christmas letter that they had to write last night with the little song playing in the background. And they put their Christmas notes inside it. And all of a sudden, Kevin pointed and there were two deer right there looking at us. And so Beatatrice went and went running after the deer and the deer just leaped away. And my brother was saying, "Those are deer tracks, but these are reindeer tracks." And all the beauty that the snow is twinkling and it's beautiful and Kevin's in the middle of writing a story book for children right now that's the most beautiful concept ever and all I can think about is the way the snow is is exactly the concept of a story book and these kids are lit up like there's magic in the air and it's just this is also available.

And and what and what and what is it? It's a walk in the in the woods. It's perfectly placed little dolls. What is it? What What does it take for your life to go from everything you've got to do to everything you could do? From everything you think you've got to be to everything you could be. Not because you're not good enough, but because you get a 100 years here if you're lucky. What the What are these holidays going to be for you? Because we're coming up now. This the 14th of December. 10 days and it's Christmas Eve. Can you make one magical memory like this? One that you never forget. You don't need one every day. Just give give everything you've got to one meaningful thing. And if you don't have a family you can do it for, go find a family you can do it for. Is there someone in your community that's not going to have a Christmas? Could you could you could you find out with your local community if there's a family in need where you could literally go and buy them Christmas dinner? My family and I do this every year. We select families and we purchase all of their family dinners, all of their Christmas dinner and food and everything for their family and we spend, you know, $500,000 whatever it is on the family and then we deliver all the food to their house. We go and we find in the local communities where can we who is in need and then we go and we do that for them. Like, can you do something like that? Could you show up even just with a magical thing? Like, is there is there a family in your neighborhood? Is there is there someone that's going through something? It could be anything. Something that makes you feel like you are part of the magic because there is two ways to believe in magic. One is to wish for it until you receive it and the other way is to be a part of it.

I started believing in magic when I realized I could create it for other people because it opened up a possibility that someone's creating magic for me somewhere. Somewhere out there, there's someone out there dreaming up how they can do something incredible for me. I don't know when and I don't know what, but it makes me able to believe that that's possible when I'm constantly doing that in my life and I don't need the evidence of it. I just know that somewhere there is something magical waiting to happen. And this year I got to experience that. I walked home from my birthday one night and I I opened the door to my bedroom and there were white orchids all over my floor. Like white orchids and beautiful vases and on every orchid the most beautiful ribbon with the name of one of my clients in my house of oat mastermind. They arranged with my florist to import orchids for me which my favorite flower and to literally flood my house with orchid stems. Every woman that was a part of this added their name. It was a beautiful ribbon on every orchid and it's just my whole floor was just orchids everywhere with a huge bouquet of red roses from the woman who orchestrated it with Michelle. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever I've ever experienced in my whole life. I came in I it took my breath away. My clients did this for me. These are these are people that that are my clients. It's be so easy to be like, "Well, you give to us. You we give you plenty." No, they went out of their way. There were Telegram chats and conversations in order to make this happen. And they put a whole video together. I ended up having two birthday videos of clients singing happy birthday and telling me the most beautiful things. I sat in a field of orchids just watching people say the most beautiful things to me. It took I don't know how many hours it took to build that. But they did it. That was being built on days I didn't know it. On days where things were stressful. On days where things were hard. On days where things I had clients sending me gifts in the post. I've already got Christmas presents I've received. I'm receiving gifts every day in the post. I don't know that this thing is happening. But if I needed to know, it probably wouldn't. If I needed it as evidence that I'm doing enough, it probably wouldn't. It's the fact that it takes me by surprise. It's the fact that it takes my breath away that makes it magic.

And so, how do you how do you believe in magic, create it for someone who doesn't expect it, then you'll start to know that at some point in your life, when you least expect it, there's a possibility that something beyond your wildest dreams will happen for you. But if you only ever calculate everything and everybody knows everything, then you'll you'll think the same is happening for your life. But we want to open the field of magic because that's where everything starts to change. When you don't live the predictable way, you live the God's own way. You live in a way that people think, "How do you live that way?" And you say, "How could you not?" And say, "Gosh, it's so over the top." And you know inside it's because they wish they could do it too. There's it's not really true that it's over the top. It's just their wildest dreams. It's just because it's just and I mean it could be that they would do it differently but not that they do it less. Not if not if the miracle aligned. Not if everything was at their fingertips and not if it made the people around them dream just a little bit more. Cuz that's the other thing. The more I show up for my life this way, the more the people who are connected to me and see what I'm doing think if it's possible for her, it is possible for me and let me look at that and let me feel love from that moment and let me hear the story and let me feel the story and let me let me source from this story.

And so there are so many things that you can do and they can be so simple. This can be something where on a normal Saturday where it would just be you and your kids and it's just normal. You when they wake up are in the best mood and you're like, "Listen, kids, let me tell you what's going to happen today. It is going to be the greatest Saturday of our lives yet. This is going to happen a few times in our lives. This is the first or the second if you've done this before, but this is what's going to happen today. First of all, second of all, and then there's going to be this." And you just play. It could be that you wake up one morning and you say, "They're not going to school today. I'm keeping them home." I say, "I declare the school is closed for you today. All your friends are there doing boring school stuff, and you are free. We're playing games. We're watching movies. We're staying in our PJs. We're stinking up the bed all day. And we're not going anywhere. and I'm making pancakes for breakfast one time. You don't have to make it perfect all the time. It doesn't have to be like how do I build a perfect life. It's like how do I create a moment that I remember forever? And I think that has been the most important thing for me. Not how do I change my life forever, how do I create a moment I'll remember forever because that changes my life. And the more of them I have, the more exponential that is, but one can take me so far. You can live off the memories for so long. It's such an incredible thing. And be creative. It doesn't have to cost a lot. It can literally be the simplest thing. And those things lead to more abundance.

Because I really do feel that when we do extraordinary things with what we're given, we're given more. It's not just gratitude like, "Thank you. I needed that." It's not just like gratitude or relief like, "Oh, thank God I got the thing I needed." It's like, "Let me show you what I do with the magic you give me. I am the right person to pour into because watch this. Watch everyone that gets touched by this, including me. Thank you. Thank you for this. Watch what I do with this. Watch what I feel with this. Watch. This is how I create with what you give me. I say thank you and I demonstrate gratitude. Look, look how this overflows. When I receive the things, look how it touches the world. Not like, okay, thanks. Um, could you also get me this and this and this and this and this? It's like you you you take the magic, you amplify the magic, and somewhere in the god zone, someone's saying, "Give more to her because every time you do, everything around her gets better. Look what she did. You gave her this. She made this. Give her more. Who's that making magic? Who is that? What did you give her? What if we give her Let's go look in the ledger. What did we give her? We gave her just that and she's made that. Give her more. Let's see what she does. Oh my gosh. Give her more. Let's see what she does. That's how I live my life. Like an It's an honor to be the one that receives. And I take it to heart for me, for you, for us. If I receive, then I'll amplify. For me, for you, for us. If I receive, I'll do something magical, beautiful, meaningful, creative, artistic, loving, caring. I'll amplify with my energy, with my love, with my intentionality, with my care, with my my imagination, with with my investments, with my where I spend it, where I give it, who who gets to benefit, like that's the amplification.

And when you think about it, if you could imagine, and I was sharing this in my house of prosperity call last night, if you could imagine that mother nature, God, the universe, are coded the same way we are, like we were created in the image. So imagine we have the same response system. When you give something to someone and they say, "Cool, thanks. Um, actually, I'm realizing now that I have it that that's probably not enough. So, if you could give me two or three of them, that would probably be ideal cuz I think I'm going to run out of these pretty fast. And now that I have this, I also realize I'd like to have that that that. So, if you could buy me those, that would also be great." Or if you can imagine giving something to someone and then being like, "Oh my gosh, okay, here's what I'm going to do with this. I don't think you understand what this is exactly what I've always wanted. This is how I'm going to be and this I'm going to be." And and every time they connect with you, they're like, "I just want you to know I'm still just loving everything that you've given me and I'm so grateful and I'm living. I'm just having the best time and I'm just I've been doing this because of it and this because of it and this because of it." That's a person where you're like, "Gosh, what else can I give this person? This is incredible." And it's not even about how we respond to the things we don't like. It doesn't even matter. It's about how we respond to the things we do like. Because your biggest problem is not even as bad as you think. It's not even like when you receive bad stuff and it's bad. Like, but when you receive good stuff and it's immediately not enough and you need more and you realize that's maybe not exactly what you wanted, it's like gh. You ask so hard for stuff and we give it to you and you do this. Like, what's the point? Let me go give it to her or her or her or her. If we're created in the image of the God zone of the creator, if we are the same, then aren't we given the codes to understand what creates the desire to give? Don't we actually have in our understanding of life? What makes us feel generous and what makes us want to not give to someone that's never quite satisfied or constantly afraid of losing or constantly afraid there won't be enough even when they're given versus the people who just let it touch them that let let it be exactly what they wanted that create more with more. And so if it were possible that mother nature, God, the universe, experiences us the same way we experience giving, we would be given all the codes, all of them. I know what makes me want to give to someone endlessly. The fact that they are able to receive it in a way where it actually makes them happy and that they go on and be as happy as they thought they would be with the thing they receive, that's the magical thing. And what makes me second guess is like no matter what you give them, they're not happy anyway. Even when you give it to them, they're already thinking about the fact that it's going to run out. They won't have enough. They should have asked for something else. Oh, it's not exactly the color they thought. It's not exactly this. And it's like, huh? So connect to yourself. Not as a person who is good or bad. Not as a person who's person who's right or wrong. Not as a person who's supposed to do everything right. Not as a person who's got all this pressure because if you don't do it right then this and this. More like every time you do something that works, you've created magic and you put yourself on the radar. No one's supposed to be perfect. Nobody. But here's the beautiful thing about us is that we're all imperfect. It's part of the human description. So if we're all imperfect, we belong. You don't have to be perfect. But what makes us extraordinary is not that to be perfect. It's that even though we're completely imperfect, we love, we care, we feel, we see, we taste, we touch. It's not the perfection that we're striving for. It's the living.

The most beautiful gift you were given was your life. And a lot of you are waiting to live it until you've done enough. I will tell you some of my favorite moments of my life are Kevin and I at the beginning. Some of the most beautiful moments of my life. I remember the snowflake moments in my car. I I remember I remember Kevin and I at a at a train station waiting to go to the store, whatever it was. were at the bus in the bus system in Toronto and there was nobody. It was just him and I and it was either early or late but there was no one there. And this song by was it Maroon Five? I don't know if you've ever heard it but it's like the odds are that we are going to be all right. The odds are that we will probably be all right. Odds are we're going to be all right. Odds are we're going to be all right tonight. Bare naked ladies. And I just remember he started singing it and then I started singing it and both of us are just singing. The odds are that we will probably be all right. There's no one there. It's just us in this empty train station or bus station. We have no money. We're literally spending every penny we've got just to make it to next paycheck. And we're singing and dancing in the train station. And every time I heard that song, I' i'd film a little video and send it together. And anytime he'd hear that song, he'd send a little video. He'd send it to me. The odds are that we. And when things were difficult, we'd say we'd sing it. And if things were really stressful, we'd crank it in the house. We'll probably be all right. And it's like things turned out all right. The odds are that it's going to be all right. There's moments in your life that you don't realize you're living. They're history in the making. And if you choose it, it's history in the making. Tonight, it's the moment you decide it matters. I matter. It all matters. It's all happening for me. It's it's there. and it's the greatest life.

And so I present myself. I was having a conversation last night with a woman that's in this master class and who did House of Prosperity. And she was super vulnerable with me and we ended up having this incredible conversation. Actually, it was God-scent conversation. And she was telling me, you know, this master class, this mission to millions, it really cracked me open, but I couldn't see you before. When I watch when I looked at your social media and I saw all the luxury, like I just couldn't see you. I couldn't connect to you. And then I got into this and I like got you and I felt your heart and I felt who you are and I totally get it. And she said, "I think you, you know, you hide behind this stuff. It's like a fortress." And she said, "I have fortresses myself. You know, I I do this as well, but I think it's a fortress for you." And what I was sharing with her is like if I were to lead on the internet like this, if this is the version of me that you saw, that everyone saw, it would be so easy to put me on a pedestal or to think I'm trying to be on a pedestal like, "Oh, she's so nice and she sees the beauty and everything and she's this and she she's" and the thing is, I am a person. I have worked at this version of me. I have worked at this version of me and I have created this most extraordinary life here. But I'm not perfect. I've created because I've allowed myself to develop and I've looked at my shortcomings and I've chosen to grow and I've chosen to evolve and to not decide that I'm not good enough, but rather to see if I can see evolution, it's because there's evolution available instead of "I'm never good enough. I'm never good enough. I'm never good enough." It's like if I'm shown I could be better, then let me follow that that trail and let me go find out. And what I found is that when I put whatever it is that people might judge, whether it's power, what what whoever women do this, whether they put power on the front line, whether they put sex on the front line, whether they put money on the front line, and people say, "Oh, that person's all about the money. That person's all about the power. That person's all about trying to look a certain way." The thing is the judgment actually moves people away. But the people who know that you're never just one thing lean in enough to come find out who you are. I don't want to have to show you that I have a beautiful heart. I want you to be mature enough to know that people aren't just what they show on the internet.

And so we were having this deep conversation like, is it better for me to have this this fortress? Maybe one day it comes down. Maybe it doesn't. Because what I know is that when people come to me thinking I'm perfect, expecting me to be perfect, and then they hear stories like this about me, they literally think I'm the second coming. They're like, "Oh my gosh, this woman's perfect, and I need to be perfect." And it's like, that's not what it is. I'm the person who drinks champagne in the snow and eats caviar and puts way too many candles and twinkling lights on a tree. I'm over the top. I'm not perfect. I'm probably I could not I would not fit in a monastery. The monks would say, "Uh uh, what's this you're wearing? How much did that cost? No, no, no, no, no. That will not fit through the eye of a needle. Like, you cannot You will not go Put that down. You don't need that. Take that down. It's like you There's so many things I do that are not acceptable. How many glasses of champagne was that? Mhm. Bad, bad, bad. What did you have for breakfast? Is that a sparkler and a quasan for your birthday? What's the nutrition in that? Excuse me. No. What are you modeling for the world? Is there have how much water have you drank today? Like there are people who ask the things like that about me all the time like but I so you drink a lot of coffee but do you drink water in the morning? And it's like I am not going to demonstrate on the internet. Here's all the things that make me perfect. Choose me. I'm like I had a quasan coffee for breakfast. And if you care about knowing who I am deeper than that, then you'll find how an imperfect human can touch the Godzone. I don't want to show you that I this is the perfect thing and this is the perfect thing and this is the perfect thing and this is the perfect thing and this is the just enough and the minimalism and I'm never too much and I can't receive too much and I'm this and I'm so humble and I'm not proud of myself and I'm not going to take a pause in the middle of a video to fix my makeup because I'm not vain. Not at all. No. No. Of course not. I'm so human and I lead with the things that a lot of people might think makes me imp it makes it like, oh, I'm probably all about that. Then if people care enough to come find out who I am, they hear my story, they hear how I actually feel about the things I have, all of a sudden everything changes. It's like, oh, oh, you don't need to be perfect. You get to have all of your quirks. The thing that makes us extraordinary is the fact that we're human and we do it. That we're imperfect and we do it. That with our emotions and our fears and our mistakes and what we feel is inadequate, we can still create miracles. That no matter what you've done yet doesn't define what you'll do. The world's somehow made this way. It's like a blizzard around me right now. Like this now is just like this is not about you accessing perfection. I have not needed to access perfection to do this. Just the God's own. I've worked on my person. I've worked on my love, my patience, on my forgiving of myself. I've worked on living and creating and being. And I've created something outstanding. And I've got clients that are so different than me and they've created the most outstanding things. And they're also imperfect. That's the best part because if I had built all of this being perfect, I would fear being imperfect. Now, I can honestly say I fear nothing because whatever new imperfection I find about myself, I'll either choose to evolve it or I'll learn to love it and live with it and expand everything else around me. It's it's our differences, our uniquenesses, our flavors, our textures. We're don't think we're supposed to come here and all be monks. I think we are supposed to come here and actually learn how to be beautiful human beings that that remember they have access to so much when they're in faith.

And I've I've made changes in my life where, you know, at first you give someone that never had anything access to almost everything they could have ever wished for. I did go a little overboard in the beginning, you know, the last couple of years. I used to we used to pop champagne every time we made a million dollars. There's times that we had a mill we made a million dollars every day for a while a day, a week, a month. I was like champagne was popping. Like now I can count on my fingers how many times I've had alcohol this year. But because now I do it for satisfaction. Before it was like miracles, celebration. Well, celebration and satisfaction are not the same frequency. I've got to really be sure, like, is this the way I want to? Is this how I want to celebrate? Does it feel satisfying to drink this amount of champagne for an extended period of time? But do I regret the year where we were popping bottles? No. I love that year, but let's not have 10 of them. You know, what's this one going to be? And what's the next one going to be? And how do I refine myself and evolve? How do I how do I constantly allow myself to develop not in judgment of who I was, not in not in trying to be perfect, in constant creation and in looking at my life and saying this was fantastic and is this phase complete? I think about some of these phases and then they're like story book there's like they're like stories in my life that I'm like gosh I can't believe this was my life and for sure you sometimes have moments with the phases where you're like gosh I would so go back I would so go back and have have that special um corn dish from Sha Shannon in Hawaii. I would so go back. The thing is, it lives perfect in my memories and I document it every moment. I have a million pictures and I have it all in my heart and it's so pristine. And I could just as easily say, gosh, I would go back. I would go back to that moment dancing in the bus thing with Kevin, not knowing what we were going to build, but actually trusting it was going to be okay. Gosh, sometimes I wish I could just walk in and tell her. And then sometimes I wonder if I did tell her in a dream or something because she acted like she knew. Like I think of the courage I had back then and I think where the freaking heck did I source that? I sometimes wonder if parts of the future went back and said, "Yes, what?" And I believed. I wonder if that's what happens to all of us when we feel it inside. Is there a version of us a few years down the line that's sending us signals back then? I don't know. Maybe. But what I do know is that it is my love for my life and my love for myself as a human being and my love for the people that I affect that has created this life. It has not been trying to make money. It has not been trying to be perfect. It has not been trying to show people that I'm deserving. It hasn't been a superficial thing. It's been an inside job. And you can't have that. You can't do the inside job when you don't think you belong because you don't let yourself in. When you don't think you belong, you stay on the outside looking in. But when you know you belong, you go in. You let yourself in. And then you get to do the inside job. A little more love, a little more faith, a little more magic from the inside out.

So, until tomorrow's session, here's my invitation for you. I want you to go out into your life and really just experience living as much as you can, either as simple or as wild as you want. And what's going to make it the most spectacular if you can is if it includes someone else. If in you living something extraordinary, someone else also gets to live something extraordinary. Anyone you want, not with pressure, just a beautiful moment. Something even as simple as like paying it forward, buying buying the coffee for the person behind you at the girl at the coffee shop if it feels like that's the thing. But like what what could you do that would put you in the God zone as the creator of the moment, not just the receiver of it? And if you start to believe that there are people on Earth that are constantly creating magic on this planet, it'll stop being so hard to believe that that magic is coming towards you before you could ever expect it, like it's coming.

So, we're going to do the other draw here in a moment because we have a second person that is going to manifest. And for tomorrow's draw, I'm going to post something on Instagram. I'll send you the link of what I would like it to be. But on Facebook, I would actually love the live stream about pressure and um stress to be the one that's shared. And if you haven't watched it, I honestly recommend that you do because it's quite phenomenal. Um, but that's going to be the one for tomorrow's draw. And tomorrow we're going to be drawing $4,444 in Alpha Books. So that's going to be very exciting. Okay, we're going to do the draw for whoever is our next winner today. Alpha Fem team, when you're ready, let us know. Our winner is Wit Mullings. Wit Mullings, congratulations. You are the winner of $2,222 in Alphab. Congratulations. Congratulations. Congratulations.

So, here's what I want to share with you today. My dream, and let me actually preface it this way. How how many of you here have a product, a service, a company that in the bottom of your heart, your real feeling is like you wish everyone on earth could experience this? Like you really just you've built it and you just wish everyone could have one or everyone could take it or everyone could live it or everyone could experience it. And it really feels like the truth of your spirit that that's really the truth. And when you say this, like I wish everyone could experience this. It's not because you're like, I want to I want to sell it to everyone, but it's like I built this with so much care and I know that if everyone experienced this, the world would change, right? So this is what I feel about my alpha fem experience. This is how I feel about my alpha fem experience. To me, it's the greatest thing that I've ever created. And it would be my dream that everyone could do the alpha fem experience. And there was a time I thought maybe I should only sell the Alpha FEM experience. I shouldn't sell the programs outside of it because there's such different pieces and I don't want people to come just for a piece like oh give me the money part and I don't want to do anything else. And so I was scared of of continuing to sell things outside the AF because I was scared of people just taking what they want to get. But what I realized and what was fantastic is as I continued offering my things, my best-selling program is still the fem fatal program, which has which is not the give me money and let me take what I can get. And so I know that the people I attract are well balanced and there's people that just go with what they're aligned with. And so I've continued to offer all the things whether you're going for the AlphaFam experience or whether you take bite-sized chunks with me, as long as you're moving, I I want I want that to be possible for you.

And so there is a program that I run every year that I think is the greatest idea of all times. And this is something that I did for myself for so many years and it's called the Resolution Revolution. The video to share is the one that's pinned to the top of my personal page on Facebook. It's the pressure versus stress. So Resolution Revolution to me is such an incredible program for multiple reasons. First of all, when I used to do this for myself, it was like a beginning of year creating myself structure that I felt was really lacking for people that that that are like me that aren't really like the super organized kind of way and need another way to plan. So, I have this def different way that I plan things that I create things. It's different because I I don't have that like super linear brain. So, Resolution Revolution to me is like the greatest thing you can do to start a year. It's what I used to do for myself. And then one year I went to do it by myself and I thought, why don't I just invite people to do it with me? It seems like it would be a really great idea. And so, I started doing Resolution Revolution every year and it was fan favorite program. People would just get excited and do it every year with me. And then one year I thought I don't I don't want to I don't know what to do with this anymore because it feels like I want to give it but it's not I doesn't feel like I could do it for free in a master class. It doesn't feel I don't know what to do with it. It was like I don't know I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this program. It feels like the most important program and there's something about it. And I got the intuition that when people come for Resolution Revolution, I want to give them the entire amount to be able to invest in a program that year. And that felt like the best feeling in the world. So the price of Resolution Revolution is 2,222. It's a 10-day program. It's really intensive and it has the most incredible practices. It is it's honestly the one that puts me in the God zone at the beginning of the year. It is the most beautiful program. I teach you about money, organization, planning, social media. Like we touch everything, emotional intelligence, forgiving, like every single thing I teach has a piece of it in fe in a resolution revolution. So it feels like you're getting like a sample of everything that I do. Every day is a different energy. And so I sell this program and people get to come and the full amount of their tuition they get to reinvest in another program. So, it's like you come, you do the whole program, and at the end you get to choose which one you're going to do with me in the year because you get 2222 off. And so, there's there's you can literally do resolution revolution and then decide to buy the we are alpha fem membership with it if you want. You can do resolution revolution and then decide to upgrade into the alpham experience. You can do resolution revolution and then decide to do like you can do whatever you want. and I do a really long shop with me where I explain all the pro the pro programs and people can ask questions and I really take the time. It's like it's a really awesome program. And so that one's going to come this January and I feel like there's so many things I want to talk to you about and there's so many ways to start a year and sometimes trying to think of like what's the best program for me is difficult. But with this one you'd get to come then you get to use the credit on whatever you want. If you want to use it on House of Prosperity that we just finished that's out of this freaking world. If you wanted to put it towards the next Godzone that's going to be happening live, if you want to put it towards Fen Fatal, if you want to put it towards Exponential Wealth or Impact Academy, like I'll explain all the programs and you'll get to choose. And if you feel ready, you can choose the AF. Or if you feel like you just want to come into the We Are Alpha Fam movement or the the movement by Alpha Fam, you get to do that. The movement is an entire you can if you pay in full, you can do an entire year for 2222. Now, because it's a credit, we don't usually do you spend a credit, you get a credit, you know, so you wouldn't buy the movement and then still receive the 2,000 credit. What you would do is you would purchase the movement and you would still get 1,111. So, those of you who are in the movement and you have paid in full in the movement, you can um you can buy Resolution Revolution for for $1,111. So, it's less for you. Um, but there's so many incredible things happening from this program. It is such a masterpiece and I get to really go deep but in sections. And so if you've been thinking like I want to I want to work with you Melanie. I don't know what I want to do. This secures you the first program of the year, the big the first big program of the year and you know you've got that full credit to put it wherever you want after. So, it could be a really fun way to to say, "I want to, you know, this is my move." And then the world kind of opens up for you.

We t I talk about the money system that Kevin and I use that is honestly, it makes me cry my eyes out every time I teach. It is a absolute masterpiece. Um, I show you my planning method. I show you like how I've created my life. Yes, I show you how I've created my life. I show you I show you the behind the scenes of so many things like there. It's really just we do vision board, we do vision casting. Now, for those of you who understand a temporal coherence, this is going to mean something so different. It's going to be so incredible. And so, if you're thinking of a program with me that would bridge for 2026, like you you give yourself a gift now that will move you into 2026, resolution revolution is the one. So, I would absolutely love to welcome you in that program if you would uh if you're looking for something to do with me. And then at that point, whether you're you decide to do AF or whatever else, uh Andrea says, "Me, I'm in." Yay. Then at least it's easier because you've already made the move. You too. This is wonderful. I'm so happy. This is the one that I think is just a a really smart move because it just kind of, you know, it's coming. So, we've got Christmas. You've got the next 10 days to do whatever you want to do that's magical before Christmas. Then you've got the holidays. You've got New Year's coming. And then we start with that fresh at the beginning of the year. And it's just the best feeling.

Now, here's what I found for myself. I cannot I can't I I am a manifesting generator with a threeline. What that means in human design is I am not consistent. I can't just decide I'm going to do something and do it forever. I can't I don't get excited about do this every day. I don't even do routines. Like I cannot I feel like I'm choking on the inside if I have to do something consistently. My biggest fear in life is what if I don't feel like doing that anymore? Like, let's do that, but then what if I hate it? Let's do that, but what if I change my mind? Let's do that, but then what if I don't feel like doing it anymore? And so, I never thought I could build a business ever because the thought of doing something long-term scared me because I was like, what if I say yes to this and then I can never do it? I can I don't fulfill it. I don't end it. And so, what has been the most powerful thing for me is bite-sized chunks of things that feel entirely different. The longer something is, the less chances there are that I can fulfill it. So, I've created this energy in my own life that's like I do this. I love it. I'm done. I relax. I I celebrate. I did it. I'm proud of myself. Go me. Amazing. Oh, there's another thing. I go I do it. I go through it. I celebrate it. I've nailed it. I've done it. I celebrate. I'm done. Another thing. And I'm constantly leapfrogging from one thing to another in my life. And I get as many yeses and as many like, "Did it, high five, yes, okay, done. Celebrate. Okay, next thing. Did it, high five, yes, celebrate." Because I do not have the bandwidth to do

something for a long time and still be as good at the end as I was at the beginning. I h There has to be stages. There has to be phases. There has to be Thank you. there has to be an end and a beginning and an end and a beginning and an end.

But when I stretch that in a longer period of time, so if I know I'm going to do beginning and end, beginning and end, beginning and end over a longer period of time, I then don't have the stress that comes with go, go again, go again. So the best flow that I found is short and sweet within the context of a bigger experience. So every year I choose a context for my life, a big context that's for the whole year. And then inside of that context, I'll have a monthly cont monthly context or, you know, attached to a holiday or attached to the weather or attach something that feels true and feels right and activates me. And so I'm doing the best I can in little chunks within a bigger context because what I found is without the bigger context, I also get fatigued of doing this because I don't know where I'm going. So, it's like a big container with little containers inside. This is the best way I found to keep growing. I don't get burnt out and I don't get bored. It's like the two things I'm most afraid of, getting burnt out and getting bored.

If you can hear one thing from me in this entire master class, let it be this. You will not change everything you are to become the next version of you that's all all powerful and successful and all the things that you imagine. If you're right, it is AF. That is how AF works. But you will not become a whole different person. But you will change. But you will not change because you tried to change. You will try. You will change what in a way that you least expected it. It will take you by surprise the way you change. You won't be like, I've got to change this. You will be like, oh my gosh, I think this changed. And you won't think to yourself, I'm so different than I was. You'll think, "Gosh, I've come so far. How did that happen? How did I get here?" It will not feel forced. It will not feel like you actually changed. But then you'll look back and you'll be like, "I walked that far?" You know, sometimes you're walking and you're like, "I wonder how long I've been walking." And then you look back and you're like, "What? I've walked that far?" That's what it feels like. You'll realize how far you walked cuz you'll look back and go, "Wow." But it won't be because you're going, "Oh, I know I've walked far." It won't be like that.

So the way to get to your greatness is through you. It's amplifying from within deeper and deeper into the kaleidoscope of your own becoming. It's not adding things to you, sticking bits on that make you better. It's not going to get stuff from people and trying to like fasten them on to yourself. It's going deeper and deeper within yourself and finding that spaciousness, finding that capacity, widening yourself, your insight, your and all of a sudden there's more room and there's more space and there's more understanding and there's more and then you're like, "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh." And it feels like epiphies and breakthroughs that open you and crack you open. So I I still sometimes don't understand how I'm here to this extent because it really does not make sense and I've changed and my family has seen that I've changed. But it's not like I've changed like I'm completely unrecognizable. It's more like a flower that opened. It's like the same scenery but covered in snow. It's like a candle that's lit. That's what it That's what it is. It's just what it was meant to be. It's not different like so far apart. It's just the way it was meant to be. You're becoming the way you were meant to be. And it's natural and it's not against yourself and it's not hard. And you don't beat yourself up to get there. You love yourself there. You accept yourself there. you surrender to yourself there.

And so if there's still any part of you whatsoever that listens to me or sees people in this group and thinks like they're so advanced, it's like that's not that doesn't exist. It's like if you could imagine we're all standing in the same spot, but we're deeper inside ourselves. And you get to go there and you'll get there a lot faster when you stop thinking that other people know something you don't know. Everything you need is within you. Is just a willingness to stand in the pressure of your becoming and allow it to come out so that you can see it in your lifetime. There's nothing wrong. There's nothing to fix. This is actually the most pleasurable experience if you let it be. And I hope you're feeling that in this master class already that you're seeing that like I haven't given you stuff from the outside. I've given you memories from the future to remember. I've given you feelings that you felt before. I'm giving you things you know are true. This is how we get there. Just walking together on a path walked by humans, touched by the Godzone, touched by magic, touched by miracles, led by humans. And the point is we must remain perfectly imperfect or else it starts to feel impossible. For people who are still perfectly imperfect, they think I need to be perfect first, then I can have that. And the fact is, even when you have all of that, you still won't be perfect. So let it go. Be beautiful. Be real. Be magical. Be brave. Be here. Be there. Be what you know you are without holding it back. Be messy. Be wild. be nuts. Just live.

Live in a way where you wake up in the morning, you have this life, and you get to do whatever you want with it today. What is that? What is that today? And it might be something totally different tomorrow. You're not even trying to figure out what you're going to do every day for the rest of your life. If I had to do the same thing every day for the rest of my life, I would be so bored. Even if it was the most beautiful thing, it's always a different day for me. People ask me on every podcast, "What's your schedule? What's your plan? What's your what's your your routines?" I'm like, I try to stay in my conscious mind as much as possible. So, anything that actually puts me in a subconscious state, I don't like. I want to choose my life. I want to pick it. I want to decide what I want for breakfast and which mug I want my coffee in. In the morning, Kevin says, "Which mug do you want your coffee in?" He doesn't need to ask me how I like my coffee, but he because he knows, but what mug do I want it in? What's my vibe today? Do I want my bougie shishi little mug Versace with the gold rim? Or do I want my boho green mug that I brought back from Hawaii? Or do I want my bowl? Or do I want like what's the vibe? I want different. I want something different. What do you want for breakfast? I want something different. I don't want to do the same thing every day. What do we want to do today? What's our plan today? Are we staying at the island? Are we going to the lakehouse? Do we want to go for a drive? Where do we want to go? Where are we going? What do we want to do? As often as I can. I just change change it. You don't need a perfect routine. You don't need the perfect plan. You don't need to honor your word every day of the same thing over and over again. You don't need to prove that you're worthy by doing something. Just live to the best that you can and then go be the representation of that life so other people can remember. And when people say, "Well, it's easy for you. You're perfect." You say, "Plot twist. I'm not. I'm not." Can you believe it? I'm not even. So, you have no excuse. Go be perfectly imperfect in your beautiful little way because I am not. I'm just the one. I'm the one that is imperfectly imperfect in a world I belong to. Living the God's own mission that I felt inside I'm supposed to live. Discovering every day what this is all about.

Because this is a mountain with no peak. This really is there is no goal. There is no top. There is no place that we achieve where we are the holy grail of human. It is a mountain with no peak. And every time you go up and up in the mountain, you realize there's more. And even when you go as far as you can see, you've passed the clouds and you realize there's more. And the best thing that can happen to you is that when you've gone as high as you think you can and you worry if you've gone too far, there's someone on the mountain still going up. And when you look back, there's someone coming up the mountain. And you know, because they saw you, they feel safe to keep climbing. And it's your trek. And it's stopping to see the view as often as possible. And it's not about climbing it perfect. You get to stop for breaks. You get to see the view. You get to decide that maybe you can't do this and take a break and then get start keep walking. You get to walk down a little bit and say, "This is ridiculous. I don't need to do this." And then say, "What am I doing? Of course, I didn't want to." And start walking back up again. You get to walk down until you meet a person who's walking up and you're reminded of your courage. You get to walk up until you see someone walking down and remind them of your courage. But it's a mountain with no peak. There is no goal. There's no one better. You're not better because you're higher because there's no peak anyway. It's just how much of a view will you see in this lifetime. What new air will you breathe? How close to the sky can you get the game? Go live some magic and come tell us all about it so we can hear your stories. Thank you for being here. Thank you for being in my life. Thank you for being in this beautiful Sunday magical like what is this? What is this light? La like I feel the sky is singing for us at this moment. So in this little pocket of bliss I feel so full. I wish you the most beautiful Sunday and I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow. Preparing for takeoff in 3 2 1. Your mission everything you thought it could be. Despite beyond no limit because you were born for this visionary's journey once upon a time there was
