I grew up knowing I was meant to do something and be someone very special. It was like my own little secret, and I knew it with every fiber of my being. Then everything changed. I was 19 when my mother died. It seemed like the happiest, most confident, secure part of me died too.
I spent the next 18 years chasing the secure, confident feeling I had taken for granted for the first 19 years of my life. I had some flashes of brilliance in between when I thought I was okay, but it was always temporary. I don’t know whether it’s worse or better to have known that solid, satisfied, “I can do anything” feeling, but I do know that not having it stinks.
Fast forwarding through my years of depression, self-criticism and self-pity, I realized that I was constantly in a cycle of setting unrealistic expectations for myself, failing to meet them and then beating myself up over it. I thought the secure, confident feeling I was chasing was going to appear in my life in the form of something outside myself (money, a loving relationship, success, weight loss). Yet each time I reached one of those milestones I realized it wasn’t the missing link and I would begin the chase again.
When I turned 37 I decided I had had enough of living my life this way. I realized that my happiness was my responsibility and I have the power to create it in my life – from the inside.
Once I made that decision, everything changed.
I gave myself permission to explore my spirituality, leave a job that was draining me and go on a quest to rediscover the beautiful, confident, secure girl I had been, and wanted to be again!
Through Reiki, I began working through my emotional blocks. I began to understand how my pain had woven itself through every part of me and fused with my spirit to create the woman I had become. There were some parts of me I loved dearly and there were others that had to go!
I learned about crystals and emotional energy and how I could use them to heal my body, mind and spirit. I was given a Rose Quartz to open and heal my heart, love myself and attract love into my life. At first I thought of it as a good luck charm. Then I realized what power that little pink rock actually had! Anyone who knew me during that period will attest to the transformation. I remember my brother hugging me and calling me the new, old Casey. I knew something had shifted and I felt fantastic! I looked fantastic too! I was glowing with an energy and light that everyone around me could see and feel. And I met my husband. We grew up in the same neighborhood, knew all the same people and yet somehow we had never met before. Within two months of carrying my Rose Quartz I went from thinking I would die a single woman to meeting my soul mate and best friend!
Slowly, that “I am here for a special purpose” belief re-emerged and I got my coaching certification. I had Found My ROAR and I wanted to help other women find theirs too!
I struggled to get clients. I dreaded getting up at networking events because I was never sure what my elevator speech should be. Who is my ideal client? What do I have to offer? I was working as a part time recruiter and was convinced that if I was building my coaching practice full time I would be successful. I made the leap, I had said “yes” to my destiny and I was still struggling! Why was this so hard?
Then I started waking up in the middle of the night with dreams about crystal jewelry. I was literally compelled to wrap my Rose Quartz in wire and wear it around my neck. For two months, I was awakened with these dreams and ideas. Johnny and I made several trips to Home Depot researching soldering and drilling methods.
Once I learned how to make the crystal jewelry I made a decision to follow this inspiration and I put Find Your ROAR on hold.
I learned as much as I could about crystals and their healing properties. Creating ROARING Stones was a divine detour. It lead me to study and immerse myself in understanding the energy systems in our bodies and how that system affects us physically and emotionally in our relationships, health, career, business and in literally every aspect of our lives.
This Divine Detour was directly responsible for my development of the Emotional Energy Diagnostic™ and the Energetic Footprint™. The combination of these tools with my unique gifts and talents, my experience in Human Resources, Recruiting and Employee Development encompass the unique programs and services I offer through Find Your ROAR.
After struggling for so long, being so close to my dream of having a successful business helping other heart and passion-based business owners I finally figured it out! My business has grown 2800% in the past 6 months!! (That’s not a typo!).
Using my own Energetic Footprint™ I am tapped into my Internal GPS and it has made the journey much smoother. At the core of every single program is the Emotional Energy Diagnostic™ and the Energetic Footprint™. It has provided some amazing insights into my client’s lives and businesses.
I also put my money (or lack of it) where my mouth is and took a leap of faith by investing in myself and my business. Even though I didn’t have the money in the bank, I took a financial leap of faith that shifted me and my business like nothing had before. All of the most successful entrepreneurs and business owners have one thing in common – they all work with someone (usually a coach!) to help them take their business to the next level. I had been avoiding this step because I couldn’t afford it. It wasn’t a state of mind, it was a fact of life – my bank account was not lying to me! But I began to realize was that as long as I kept believing that and letting that fear make my decisions for me, I’d never make any significant progress and I would never be able to help the amount of people I knew I could or make the money I needed to make. So, I took a deep breath and pulled out my credit card. I made the first payment or two on my credit card and after that, I started making enough money to make my coaching payments and pay the bills. The key was that I BELIEVED deeply in myself and my ability to make the money I wanted. I started signing clients, FABULOUS, IDEAL CLIENTS, who were really excited to work with me!
Earlier this year I found a program I wanted to sign up for, but once again I felt the very real pang of “but I can’t afford it!” This time, I told myself that if I took the leap and signed up for the program I could put the first payment on my credit card and I would make enough to make all the rest of the payments from the new business I would generate. I was so excited making this decision! I reasoned that the information I would learn in the program would absolutely help me in attracting new clients. The program was fantastic and I loved it! It moved very quickly, so I didn’t have a chance to use what I had learned and yet, I still attracted and signed enough new clients to pay for the program and increase my income dramatically!! That proved to me that making an investment and taking that leap of faith was one of the most important things I can do to keep my business moving forward and growing! And I’m still doing that!
I am living my purpose by working with women who are dedicated to living theirs. My clients range from women who don’t know what they want to be when they grow up to women who need help discovering and eliminating the emotional blocks that are holding them back in their businesses and their lives. One thing they all have in common is a desire to serve others and do the work they were born to do. I am making a living doing what I love, what I was put here on this earth to do, serving others and helping other healers to share their gifts with the world and get paid for it! I want to help you do the same thing!
