Upleveled Headspace

How To Know When You’ve Up-leveled Your Headspace

Mar 7

As I was getting ready this morning, I turned on an audio training by a life coach I’d began following this past summer.

David, my life partner, walks into our room and I say, “ Listen to this coach babe, she sure knows what the heck she’s talking about, she’s made 1 Million dollars in the past 5 years with her Life Coaching Business.”

He replies, “ Yeeeeah okay babe, let me see the bank records on that.”

“No, seriously she has!” I replied as my adrenaline started to pump and my heartrate sped up as if I was about to go head to head with this dude. How dare he QUESTION or ASSUME anything other than what I was telling him? I mean, the nerve.

I continued on,” Babe, seriously I joined her group coaching program last summer and although she didn’t show us her actual bank statement, I trust her that she’s being honest and now she;s teaching what she did to grow her coaching business.”

He says,” Sorry I just can’t believe that, I’m sure her husband made most of it.”

Oh HELL no he didn’t.

“Actually, her husband works FOR her. “ BOOM.

David still couldn’t wrap his mind around this. A husband working FOR his wife? In a business that has brought in over $1,000,000 in revenue? No f*cking way.

Yes baby, yes f*cking way.

So then he goes from insulting the coach to insulting the clients, or the people who helped the coach reach the $1 Million.

“Well there can’t be that many people who need help reaching goals, I must have more determination than most. So do you babe, you didn’t need a coach to reach your goals.”:

I quickly corrected him, “Oh yes I did, love. I’ve hired 2 coaches to help me along the way. “ I’m not sure if he had forgotten or just wasn’t paying attention when I told him months before.

At this point, I was on edge. How dare he insult my industry?

First, with his disbelief that a life coach can earn $1 Million and then with his BELIEF that it had to be from the man’s effort.

Can you say SEXIST PIG?

At first I was ruffled up, I could feel my face getting red.

“How could he think that way? How can he not believe that a woman earned more money than he’s seen in his life?”

And then something happened.

I CHOSE to respond differently and I CHOSE to have compassion for him.

And respect. Just because I’ve chosen to dive deep into Life Coaching and how to run an online business doesn’t mean that he has. He hasn’t seen what I’ve seen throughout my studies and research and conversations.. His perspective is based off of what he knows to be true for him. I remember a time when I would’ve been the same way. Although maybe not so much about the husband being the bread winner but that $1 Million isn’t the norm in our world, YET.
