Creating Opportunites to get in the Vibration you Desire in the World

I love hearing about people’s stories of transformation.

I sat down with Katherine Bird as she described an intense spiritual awakening. She believes the intensity was by design to lead her towards exploring and studying several modalities on her journey towards transformation mastery.

Katherine uses physical embodiment practices and consciousness work to practice listening to Source to create and raise the consciousness on the planet.

Katherine has created the Five Elements Journey Meditation and, in her work, offers prescriptive physical practices that support deep inquiry into who we are and what we do. She is a Shamanic channel guide and transformational consciousness coach and practices energetic and emotional alchemy.

Katherine helps people in healing and relieves themselves of internal suffering. You can experience her Five Elements Journey Meditation Here https://heal.katherinebird.com/5elementjourneypage

Creating Opportunites to get in the Vibration you Desire in the World

While I have several certifications in the field of life coaching, I don’t care about them very much. I don’t list them on my website or use any suffixes on my name. The experience of earning them was valuable, but the actual certification doesn’t matter to me so much.

So when Source started sending me messages to create a certification program, it made me scratch my head. I resisted for a long time.

It all started while hosting Retreat and Grow Rich Live, a live retreat where I helped people flesh out their retreat details and explore their magic. While a handful of people were ready to hold potent spaces for transformation for their clients, many more needed more time and training, while others weren’t truly committed.

It became clear with whom I wanted to work. I wanted to work with people committed to transformation and needed more time and training.

There are layers of healing that a person must peel away, skills they must master, and energy dynamics they must understand fully before holding space for transformation for others.

They had been called, like I was, to do the work but needed support and time to prepare. At that point, I knew that a retreat format would not work; we couldn’t do this in a weekend. I needed more time and educate and integrate them into being transformational leaders.

So when I saw that most of the people at that retreat needed to hone their skills further as transformational leaders, and after moving past the voice of “who are you to start a certification program?” and “the world doesn’t need another certification program,” I accepted the message coming from Source to launch my Certified Sourced Program pilot.

I’m writing about this for two reasons.

1. I love storytelling. I love the evolution of the Certified Sourced Leaders Program and wanted to share it with you. 
2. Maybe you are getting intuitive hits that you are supposed to be an author or start a podcast, YouTube channel, or whatever it may be, but for some reason, you are resisting. That will continue until you align yourself with what Source is guiding you to do.

If you have a calling or there’s a message coming through about your business model or identity, you know you are here to step into it, but you keep not doing it; Sourced coaches are here to help you!

Why When You Live Sourced, Time Can Never Be Wasted
By Darla LeDoux, Founder of Sourced™ and Author of the books Shift The Field and Retreat and Grow Rich

I’ve been experiencing several landmark dates lately.

For instance, my wedding anniversary (the marriage no longer exists) was on Monday, so I have been present to the idea of wasting time or feeling like we are behind somehow.

Have you ever felt that way?

It has been a year since my marriage ended, and much healing has happened. I’m at a place of deep acceptance, profound release of my right to be upset and angry, and am at a place where I have embraced everything that has changed in my life.

I was with my ex for nine years. I grew a lot, and the person I am now is not the person I was at the beginning of those nine years. Last year, however, when my marriage was “blown up,” one of my primary thoughts and reactions was about having “wasted my time.”

Like I said before, I did much of my growth on my own, but much of that growth happened within the container of the relationship. The growth occurred in response to what was happening in the relationship.

If I held on to the idea that I had wasted nine years of my life (prime years, by the way), the idea that I shouldn’t be the age that I am single and starting over, and the idea that I am behind the prescribed timeline, then I would have been stuck in that reality.

I have been thinking about some Facebook posts I have seen recently pointing out how some famous people found their success later in life. There are lots of people who have reinvented and created something beautiful later in life.

This idea is that time can be wasted, and because we have wasted that time, we are somehow behind where we should be. This idea is very toxic and so easy to latch on to.

The idea that if I had done something different, I would be in another place right now is not helpful. Because guess what? You didn’t. You’re not. You are here. What if exactly where you are is the perfect place to be?

If you are interacting with this conversation, who you are now is amazing! You are clear; you are Sourced, you know who you are, you are here to make an impact, and you are connected to your diving knowing.

What is that worth?

I can say I am at a point where I can look at the nine years I spent with my ex, which in theory ended up as nothing; I can look at who I became during that time and credit that relationship for the growth (at least some) I experienced.

I love who I am, and I love who I have become. It can be hard to give that level of credit to someone who hurt you, but my becoming happened within the container of that relationship. I can’t possibly know how it would have gone any other way except for how it went.

So did I waste time?

Or did I allow new energies to come through me during that time, getting practice as a more expansive version of myself even if it came through contrast and challenging situations?

I became a newer version of me, and as soon as we make that wrong, we lose access to the energy and potency of who we are and that experience.

It is impossible to waste time. When you have an energetic awareness of life, everything that happens and unfolds contributes to your becoming energetically. You have access to all of that forever.

Even if your circumstances change, your business changes, your location changes, and even if your home changes, you still have who you became.

That nurturance never goes away.

When COVID started, I was leading retreats about how to lead profitable retreats. That was not popular at that moment.

Did I feel at that moment, “oh no, the world took away my livelihood, and all the time I spent developing this program was wasted because I have to start over?

No. I didn’t feel that because who I became when developing that work was accessible to me to create the next stage. It didn’t go away. It is always there.

You can’t waste your time. You are not behind, and you can’t mess it up. Source is with you 100% of the time.

Tell me what your thoughts are on this.

  • Do you know someone beating themselves up over past decisions that need to hear this?
