My name is Carrie liplay. And I'm an ordinary mom making extraordinary decisions. This is me putting one foot in front of the other, moving towards my next goal, and hoping to inspire you along the way. Let's get started.

Hello, everyone, how are you doing today? It's been kind of slow in my life. I'm gonna be honest lately, I feel calm. But I feel it's really slow and unproductive on a business level entrepreneur, entrepreneur level lately. So if that's how you're feeling right now you feel a little bit unproductive, maybe a little bit lost, send me a message, I would love to get ideas from you on what to talk about. I love hearing what's going on in your life. So through Instagram, send me a message inspired coaching by Gary, I'm I am there, I have been recognizing that I'm not where I want to be. So I do need to step up in some areas. And this process that I'm going to talk about today is what I've been doing and recognizing where I need to go and maybe will help you as I talk about it, you can probably relate in some aspects I've been talking to so many moms lately, I can really relate. And I just want to help get connected as I can get connected to move forward towards the winter months and stay on track to what I want to achieve. So I've been feeling calm lately, but unproductive in my business. Because I'm catching up on the little things that happened on my to do list in our home, or in our like the doctor's appointments that we're supposed to book I appointments, getting the bottles to the bottle depot, taking the extra garbage from the year to the dump to get you know, just yard cleanup, things like that. So I've been doing all the life things and feeling accomplished, going through my kids, clothing bins, moving sizes, organizing winter stuff to make sure I have everything, I feel really ahead of the game and accomplish I even have some of my Christmas shopping. So yes, I am being clearly distracted from what I really want to achieve, which is in my business to help me move forward. And I'm not doing that. And I some of my excuses are that I've been waiting for this for a very long time to have these days that I'm free to catch up on things. And now they're here. And I need to learn to do a little bit of both, because I can't just waste not that it's wasting. But I can't just not think about my business and move forward and do all the mom things because I want both. So I have to move towards both. And not one or the other. But you know, figure things out. So I would love to just share with you on how I got connected and a little bit of clarity with what's going on. So I'm going to ask you guys, have you been connected with your soul lately? Because this is where the bottom line is, is? Are you doing? What makes you feel energized and inspired? throughout your days? This is a very big question because we do the things, the tasks of a mom and a partner and a spouse and running a household and a home. But are we doing the things that inspire us to move forward to what we want to create? Now remember, the answer is inside of you. So if you're like I don't know, and you do know that's the biggest key on moving forward is connecting with what you really want. So if Have you been connected with your soul lately, and you know that this is true or not true in what you're doing, and I will help you with this because here are two ways that you can identify if you're simply connected. One is if you feel a connection with yourself you will feel an automatic connection with God the universe inspired action your Higher Selves Buddha whoever it is that you feel connected with. You feel aligned and moving towards the things you want to move naturally happens that's when we you feel connected. Definitely how have not felt connected that way, been taking steps to get back on crack. But I definitely recognize that that has not been me the past couple months, I own that high blood life take over, especially triathlon training and doing all the fun summer things. But I have noticed a big shift and I'm not connected. The second way you can tell if you are connected or not, is feeling connected with people in your life, or people you want to be in your life. Both ways are amazing. And there's no right or wrong answer. But that's how we know that we're truly connected with what's going on instead of just living life day to day going through the motions. feeling connected is how inspiration flows through us to create new ideas, experiences or adventures, we feel alive in a different sense. So if this is you right now, and you feel that you have creative ideas, and you're working towards new experiences, and you've got a little bit more adventure in your life, you are connected, that's obvious. It's not that it's going to be easy what you're doing, but you're in, you're following your heart.

So this is right you right now you should say thank you to yourself for being connected. That is super cool. One way to notice whether you are working towards your goals, desires or your dreams is it feels really good on your heart. And it's definitely not easy, but it's you feel good about things and you're multitasking becomes easier with mom and life stuff because you're doing the thing that lights your heart up, lights your soul up. If you've been not been feeling connected, a connection between any of these. So if you're just going through life, going through the motions, basically living on autopilot, you've probably felt no inspiration, no new ideas, no motivation. You haven't created any new experiences, you haven't reached out, talk to anyone and right now it feels really lonely to a lot of women, that's what's coming up is it just feels you're at home doing the things but you're not feeling motivated, and you kind of feel alone. And this is kind of been the aha moment in, in my life in I'm doing lots, but it's not where my soul wants me to go or to be. So I'm busy doing family things, which super cool, love it. But I'm not I don't feel fulfilled, I don't feel fulfilled with my podcast, posting my work, I don't feel like I'm having the creative ideas I want but I'm also not connected. So when I think about it, it's me not doing the work to be connected to move forward. I know those moments where I'm aligned, and I'm connected because producing and being a generator as my Human Design becomes very easily. My goal in in my days, I can sit down, hammer out some ideas and creative thoughts. And one thing spirals into the next idea into the next idea. And that's how I can move forward really quickly. If that's not where I am right now. busy doing school things, figuring out new clubs, going through clothing and organizing it and switching child sizes to bins and thinking of Oh, I'll put this away for the garage sale next year. Those I'm busy with activities, those are not. Those are not productive in building what I want to build. Those are just life activities. I'm busy being busy. So I've been searching for new ideas and new thoughts really hard. I've been walking again doing other things, getting back into meditation, getting back into gratitude, practice getting back into all the things that helps ground me to get me to where I need to go. And it's a journey, it doesn't happen overnight. And things come up and you know, the kids come in with their sense or sandbox in their shoes, and then they dump it and then I'm distracted again, right because you got another mess to clean up. I think moms can relate to things like that because we have a moment of being inspired and then we're distracted. So I've not had creative ideas as much as I have had in the past or maybe glass timber but I also know that September's always been a growth month for me a little bit of a healing month, come back to myself, recognizing patterns that don't serve me and doing some work so that I can then barge back into a winter season. It's kind of seeming like my patterns I'm also recognizing that that's okay that I do need to recognize and heal anything that needs to heal, work through things. Get back aligned to what I'm trying to create and my vision and that's okay everything. You're we're always right where we're supposed to be. I do know that I've been trying to make Hannah has that puppy it's been heavily on my mind, I feel it's coming. I've been wanting it's come, I've been looking since March, my husband's finally said, Yep, it's fine, just get a puppy. And now now there's no one showing up so you don't even understand. So you know, I'm distracting myself with that, I need to surrender to that, let it go, cuz then I'm sure the puppy will show up, because that's how we manifest but I'm distracting myself with all sorts of things. So having to sit down and reconnect, I want to help you with some of the things that I have been doing. So we are, we're destined to become the person that we decide to be, that's a no brainer, that's obvious. And when we sink into that, it's easy to move forward. So I do love having my own operator, entrepreneur business, I do love where it's going, I love the things that I've done.
