Ok, let's be real. What comes up for you when you hear the words "spiritual awakening?" 

If you're like I was, the idea of spiritual awakening probably seems like a fringe concept. Something for saints or monks, but not for you. 

It's probably not even on your radar, or if it is, it probably feels completely out of reach. 

I get it. That was me. But, what if I told you that awakening is not the "woo-woo" stuff you think it is?

When you take away all the mental labels, awakening is just about understanding that there is another way to live. A way of living connected to your Creator. You can call it God, Source, Consciousness, Universe, or whatever language feels right. It's not about what you call it; it’s about learning to call on it. Making the effort to get still and learn the truth.
 
Why would you want to do this? Well, it's pretty simple. It is the only way to find lasting peace, joy, and fulfillment in your life. 

How do I know? Because I had to learn this the hard way. By the age of 45, I had achieved all my dreams and reached the pinnacle of my success. I had the dream job, the dream partner, and the dream house.  Then, the bottom began to fall out. 

I was experiencing a sort of quiet misery on a regular basis that began to seep into every area of my life. I couldn't escape the feeling that something was still missing. I looked at my life and wondered "Is this all there is?" 

Let me tell you, it's a rude awakening when you have achieved everything you set out to achieve and you still feel unfulfilled.

Instead of accepting that this was just how life my life was going to be, I decided to discover the source of my discontent.

You see, the problem wasn't my life. The problem was how I was approaching my life. 
•	I was approaching my life from the outside in, rather than the inside it.
•	I saw my life as a grind, rather than a gift.
•	I thought my answers were out there, rather than within.

Everything changed when I learned to do the REAL work of my life. I learned to listen to my inner voice, and it guided me to the truth of who I am, and why I'm here. This was my "awakening," and it's how I was able to finally release the quiet misery and experience the joy, peace and fulfillment I had always been seeking.

Awakening is for all of us: the rebels, the skeptics, the never-settlers, the non-conformists, and even the recovering perfectionists. 

I am here to share what I have learned so that we all may awaken to the truth. I am here to help you do the REAL work of your life.

Imagine if you only had to work for 2 hours a day from your phone to run your online business....  

How would you spend the rest of your time?

If you had an automated business all set-up for you:

- Your website
- Your sales funnel
- Your digital products
- Your email marketing

If we took away the tech, it would be such FUN to run a digital marketing business.

All you'd have to do is promote our pre-made digital products and courses. 

Post on social media and share the link to your store. 

And you get to keep 100% of the profits. 

No DMs required.
No sales calls.
No rejections.

My courses range from $197 - $900 and teach you how to create a fully automated business. 

So you're helping people change their life too when they buy. 

But my favourite part about this marketing company is the loving, supportive community. 

They host trainings on all different social media platforms and even host 90-day challenges with DAILY videos, exercises and content ideas.

Some in the community have reached 6 figures in only 5 or 6 months. It's a mind-blowing business model that I'm proud to support. 

Curious?

Check out the courses with Master Resell Rights in my bio link. 

If you buy any of the courses through me, I throw in some amazing BONUSES:

🏝️ 6 digital products that you can resell.
🏝️ A 30-minute strategy call. 
🏝️ A full profile audit. 
🏝️ 1:1 DM support.
