Person of the Year!

I was beyond thrilled to see that Taylor Swift earned Person of the Year, she deserves it and all that she does in this world makes it a better, HIPPER & happier place. She stands up for others, she stands up for herself, she has experienced major set backs and has been rejected, misunderstood, attacked and humiliated in public, which all has nothing to do with her. She is HIPP in every way, she leads with her heart, she has a generous and caring spirit and she makes our world a better place—can you imagine what our world would be like if most women lived this way?

I actually believe in a world where many can, I do believe that if people want positive change in their life, they can create it. They can also create a life they love, and in this process, grow personally, spiritually and radiate that positive vibe out in the world. In order to rise, I believe we have to fall in some way, otherwise, we would not know pain, desire, and the important relationship you build with yourself, it needs to be the priority relationship in your life.

When we let go of OOP (other people’s opinions) and begin to trust ourselves more, believe in our potential and let our light shine, that is how we rise (and (I believe we rise higher than we expected).

Not to take away from Taylor, I applaud her and I love her spirit, energy and the hope and kindness and messages she puts out in the world, and I think she would agree that she shares this with YOU.

Yes, you, person of the year!

What if we select you as Person of the Year, 2024?

What would you need to change to be her?

How would you need to grow?

Who in your life does not fit into your higher vibe and authenticity?

Who do you want to surround yourself with, this gets to the core of your values…

This right here is your opportunity to write out who you need to be in 2024 to rise to your potential and be another Cover Story. We don’t want to change who you are or fix anything, your essence is already in you. We just need to remove the BS you believed, you put up with, you like many women think about and you create this whole story in your head. It is time to write a new story, and this is one of hope, inspiration, authenticity, kindness, connection and leaving behind what no longer serves you (you already know what that is), just accept it!

I know you're afraid to do this because what if you don’t live up to it? So what, nothing happens from stalling, you just need to get clear on your Vision and your Values (the values are a key driver to full alignment, authenticity and genuinely creating a life you love. What if you fail? So what, what if you fly, you have wings you know, and they have been waiting for you and calling you.

Darling Girl…. Please stop trying to fit in, you don’t, you are mean’t to stand out, and to stand up!

Stand up for yourself, the inner self that radiates all that is vibrant, positive, magical and good.

What if you don’t feel it or you feel down, or not enough or judged? You will feel that, and you will have your moments and that is okay, it helps shape who you become. You will learn what you need, how you restore the mind and body and what sets your soul on fire. You will learn to be self aware and also how to practice more self care, you will become the person you have been waiting for, it’s been you all along darling girl.

Is it all bright lights, on stage and high energy? No, actually, a lot of it is behind closed doors, it is your spiritual work, your ability to retreat and restore and learning how to practice compassion for self and others. It will require you to peel back the layers you built around you, and all the stuff that truly does not represent you, the beautiful and magical you. Let’s uncover her. Let’s allow her to fly, lets allow her to fall, lets pick her up, dust her off and not tell the world about her struggles, lets shine a light on her essence, on her amazing soul, and on what makes her shine!

In order for us to rewrite our stories, we can’t edit and throw away what we have written so far, we build upon it, we leverage it as lessons and we take it with us, with confidence and walk into our purpose like never before.

How do you know who your 2.0 is, your higher self?

You need to get quiet. You need to stop looking around you. You need to stop being a copy cat, be inspired but let's take that and find you. It is that quiet whisper in your heart that says, you are made for more.

It is time for you to rise and it is time for you to get crystal clear on your vision and values and in Living HIPP, this is our framework that we create and curate based on ourselves, not a blueprint for everyone to use, it is a blueprint methodology and you customize and curate to fit you. The wonderful imperfect, beautiful, loving, deeply spirited person that hides behind a busy schedule, a need to fit in, a fear of failure or success, and bottom line, a feeling of not being enough. My darling, that is an old belief, an old story and one that has settled deep inside of you. Let’s gently welcome it to leave, and make space for your HIPP spirit and all the good that resides in you. We need you to step into this space, and we remind you, that you are not alone. We are doing this and we are doing it together.

Dream big about 2024 and stepping into the person you are mean’t to be! XO
