He could not figure out his life purpose. He has done the homework but was still in the fog about it.

Then, I asked him a simple question that unlocked it for him. Ten minutes later, he was clear about the main theme of his life purpose.

Do you wonder how to figure out your life purpose, Isabelle? or how to infuse more purpose into your work?

If so, this question will definitely help!

Check out this video where I reveal the two questions I asked my client that helped him nail down his purpose.

The post This question unlocked it for him appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

• Where would you live?
• Where would you work? When?
• What would your ideal schedule look like?
• How would you spend your time outside of your working hours?
• What would you work on?

Imagine it ALL. Exactly as you want it. On your terms. Whatever they are.

If you already have it, what is the next thing you are longing for? More balance? More freedom? More time with the people you care about? More time to travel?

Manifesting it starts with visualizing it! 
It’s how I start every single time. Getting really clear about what I truly want, NOT what I should want to “look good” or to “appear successful” according to external standards of success, but what my heart truly desires for my fulfillment.

Doing work that lights you up and makes a difference in the world is also about having the lifestyle, freedom, and balance you want, on your terms! What is the point of doing work you love or being very successful if you are living a life in conflict with your values?

To your next-level dream career and life,

For the first time.

and I’m surprisingly excited about it. (the one-way ticket) 

NOT because I want to stay indefinitely in France or move back there.

I don’t.

California is my home. At least for now. Even if France is very dear to my heart; It will always be.

I bought a one-way ticket because of some unknowns related to the US Covid travel ban.
Whether I’ll be able to come back directly to the US or if I’ll have to spend 14 days in a country outside of the Schengen area.

(No matter what happens, I’ll be working and meeting my clients remotely, which is my joy.)

I’m realizing I LOVE one-way tickets!!! It feels SO good.

It means… FREEDOM.

Going with the flow
Going with my desires
Deciding when I want to come back.
Letting things unfold and deciding from the unfoldment.

I LOVE living my life this way.

Open-ended
Going with the flow
With space for the unfoldment of what wants to emerge

This is where the magic happens.

In the unknown
In the open space
Where everything is possible.

Not in the constraints
or the confinement
or the preset and preplanned

It feels safer BUT it limits possibilities and creativity.

Let me ask you: 

• Where do you limit creativity and possibility out of fear of the unknown or clinging to safety?
  • In your career? in your life? 
• Where do you cling so tightly to safety that you have been stuck in the same place for years or even decades? 
•  Where can you let loose to make space for the new?
• Where do you plan things so tightly or you want things to unfold a certain way that you don’t allow anything new to enter your life?
• Where do you sacrifice JOY and your heart desires for SAFETY?

This is why so many people are unhappy and never go for their dreams and desires.

Is that YOU?

Ask yourself honestly.

Change starts with self-honesty. Not denial

It takes courage but this is the path to the career and lifestyle of your dreams.

This is the path I’ve taken over and over again. This is the path my clients take to reach their dream careers. 

I want that for you too.

2021 is the year… 

…I live my dream of traveling and working remotely from all kinds of gorgeous places around the US and around the world. 

It started two weeks ago.

Dog sitting with this cutie in the beautiful hills of Colfax. (Sierra Foothills, California)

It continues in 10 days, traveling to another AMAZING destination I’ve never been to before.  

More to be revealed soon…

Stay tuned!

The post This has been on my mind for a while… appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

• Feeling your fears, being willing to face them, and to move forwards with them. 
• Having a team of support to help you in the places where you get stuck and can’t figure it out all alone. As my mentors say: “Getting help is not being weak; it’s being wise.”

I’ve done it over and over. This is why I know the courage it takes for you to do it and the courage it takes my clients when they decide to work with me.

I am walking the talk.

Are you?

✅ I taught two workshops to 30 students from around the world (all over the US, Canada, Australia).

✅ I shared my journey on an Enneagram panel with two of my favorite Enneagram teachers, Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes.

✅ I attended an enlightening three-day online event to explore the next level of support to uplevel my business and step into my thought leadership.

✅ I got contacted by 12 awesome people who want to work with me to reinvent their careers, step into their career calling and do the work they love.

This is what happens when you follow your aliveness.

A lot of these things were not initially planned and happened as a result of me following the nudges of my intuition and aliveness.

and I know there is more to come…

In the next 10 days:

✅ I’m teaching another workshop. (Check details)

✅ I’m talking to several coaches and mentors for my continued personal and professional transformation.

✅ I’m having conversations and follow-ups with 10 people who are considering working with me.

✅ I look forward to discovering the unexpected events that will happen as I continue to follow the bread crumbs of my intuition and aliveness.

What is the quiet voice of your intuition or the pull of your aliveness/desire is guiding you to do?

Are you listening and following it?

It is showing you the path forward.

Watch it and let me know what you learned!

To the manifestation of your dreams in 2021,

The post Are you listening to it? appeared first on Brilliant Seeds.

• what we learned “we should do.”
• what we keep repeating over and over again automatically without questioning it, without asking ourselves if we enjoy it or not. 

We just follow the rules we were taught.

And we get bored; things get flat, uninteresting. They lost their flavor. 

We are on automatic pilot.

Have you experienced that?

The same happens with work for many people.

• We follow the rules of society about what work we should do, why we should do it, and how to choose it.
• We don’t question them.
• We continue on automatic pilot.
• We don’t ask ourselves if we like that type of work or not, if we enjoy ourselves. Asking if we like it is out of the equation.
• We follow what the mainstream is saying we should do. 
• We make choices based on society, instead of our own. 
• We lose joy; we get bored; work does not have flavor or meaning and we wonder why.

We need to break the rules to find our joy and nourishment again. 

As I did for Christmas.

• Break the rules of conditioning.
• Find what makes you happy, what brings you joy.

To discover the work I do now and that brings me joy, I had to break the mold of what I was told I was “supposed to do” to follow what made my heart sing.

It is not an easy path. It requires facing your fears and sometimes the judgment or incomprehension of others, maybe even people close to you. But this is the only way to find joy again in your work. It is one of the most rewarding journeys you can take in your life. When you love your work, everything changes for the better: your relationships, your happiness, your health, and more.

Having a guide on the journey makes it much easier. A guide who has been where you want to go.

If you—or people you know—are interested in getting support to discover the work that lights you up, apply here to have a conversation with me. 

I’m currently taking some time off for the holidays, but I’ll follow-up with you as soon as I’m back in my office in early January.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

However you celebrate (or don’t), do it your way, the way that makes your heart sing!

Isabelle 

P.S. to clarify, when I’m writing about “breaking the rules,” I’m not encouraging to go against the Covid safety guidelines. All of this is done in the context of keeping ourselves and others safe. We can stay safe and find creative ways to enjoy ourselves.
