Welcome to Episode 2.22 of Your Biz, Your Rules. This episode is going to be a very informal, chatty one because I’m just feeling inclined to have a bit of a catch up after a short hiatus from the podcast and I really just want to tell you a little bit about what’s been going on behind the scenes.
So the last episode that you received from me will have been the episode that I released around my birthday that was all about using your birthday as a catalyst for some kind of change in your business. And the way that I chose to do that this year was to take a break. So I took a week off for my birthday. And I have to admit I had a terrible time!
I was in such a bad mood the whole week for no discernible reason. I just couldn’t get myself out of that funk and that was a trend that sort of stayed with me through the summer.
I knew that something wasn’t clicking and something felt off for me. And so, I did what I do, and I isolated myself.
I was invited along to go to this really weird, really wild online event. It was held in California and so I attended virtually from the UK. During that time, I feel like something really shifted. I really stepped into a different version of myself – it was like rediscovering the me that I used to be.
Because since I started my business, I’ve had a lot of ups and downs, I’ve had some really quite damaging experiences, I’ve had personal life stuff impact how I felt…I’ve had so many different layers of being tested and being traumatised and being taught important lessons. And with every single one of those milestones, it’s just like, a little piece of me became smaller, a little piece of me became quiet, a little piece of me hid away more and more and more and more.
And through attending this event, I feel like all of these layers of camouflage had been ripped away. I took a day to recover afterwards and when I did that, I just felt different. When I came out the other side, I felt different. I felt more like me again. And it’s a me I haven’t felt like since I was probably about 14, which is wild to say because that was what, how many is 16, 17 years ago!
So over the past few weeks, I’ve really been burrowing down deeper into who I really am and what I really want to do. And I mean that in a personal sense, as well as a professional sense. So I’ve been making some changes in my personal life as well as in my business.
Shifts in my personal life
So in my personal life that has looked like really rediscovering my love for my garden and for being in nature, because I’d spent a good few months this year, not even leaving the house. I really just got back into the habit of spending time, every single day in nature, whether that is taking the dogs out, taking myself out or planting things.
Another thing that I’ve been really prioritising in my personal life is food. And I’m not talking specifically about healthy eating here, although I suppose that’s sort of a byproduct of it. But I’ve been thinking more about where we get our food from and the type of food that we bring into the house and the impact that has on the environment.
And then I suppose just prioritising my own healing and my own spiritual development in a way that I hadn’t necessarily been doing before. Now don’t get me wrong, I have been fairly consistent in showing up for things like breathwork sessions and energy healing sessions, and reading the occasional personal development book, but I’ve I’ve done it more as a box ticking exercise than really as an opportunity to go deep and to clear out some deep dark stuff. And that’s what I’ve been doing recently. So I’ve been I’ve been reading a lot more in sort of like personal development, spiritual development kind of realms. And I’ve been saying yes to opportunities that allow me a deeper healing.
Those are probably the three things that in my personal life have shifted the most over this summer. And then of course, when you make changes in your life business is transformed too.
Shifts in my business
So there are definitely some shifts that have been taking place in my business that I also want to tell you about. One of those is I have breathed a new lease of life into my YouTube channel. So, a couple of years back now, I did Video Boss bootcamp with my gorgeous friend Quiana and it was fabulous, I had so much fun.
Over the past couple of months, I’ve actually batched a whole year’s worth of amazing YouTube content, and scheduled it out on my channel. So every single week, from now on, you will be getting a brand new tapping video.
Every week, you will be getting a new video, just go to dairepaddy.com/yt and you’ll be taken directly to the channel.
And on that sort of high value content kind of wavelength. I’ve also started doing weekly workshops inside Friends and Faves. So I’ve talked about Friends and Faves a couple of times before, but it is my client-only community hosted on Facebook, and I like to share a bunch of stuff in there. And the reason that I decided to do this is because I want people to see a shift from being in my world, even if the reason that they’re there is because they bought a self study thing three years ago, I don’t want that to be the beginning and end of our relationship, I want them to still get something from being in my world.
And on those same same sort of similar lines, something else that I’m thinking about doing and I haven’t actually started this yet, but it’s something that I do want to bring to life is I want to start offering community calls. And the way that I envisage these as working is that once a quarter, I’ll do maybe a 90 minute live coaching call. And again, everybody inside of that community will be invited.
I want to have these community coaching calls where everyone can come no matter which product they’ve signed up for, and they can get the support they need. So I’ll probably be announcing the calendar over the next couple of weeks. But again, if you want to have access to those, all you’ve got to do is make sure you are in that community.
So other things that have been going on in a business sense, well, obviously, I’ve been unleashing my inner witch.
And there were elements of that there already but I’ve really been going a lot deeper with my own spiritual practices and the way that that’s manifested in my business is I’ve just become more certain that it’s a strand that I want to focus on.
I’m not going to go full witch and change everything that I’m doing but I’m no longer going to be hiding those parts of myself. So you’ll see that in things like my monthly tarot email, birth charts that I’m offering, Instagram lives where I shared a cool money manifestation ritual that I love to do.
I’ve also been thinking about how I want to weave it into my bigger offers and one way that I’m going to do that is in my new business model that I’ve designed. I’ve put together a brand new business model that factors in all of my values, the vision that I have for where I want to go and blends in together beautifully and a piece of that is going to involve spiritual masterclasses that guide you through different principles and practices and show you how to make them work for your life and specifically for your business.
Final thoughts
So you can see there’s been a lot going on, there’s been a lot of changes that I’ve been making, in life and at work.
I just wanted to take this time today to talk about that with you and give you the the overview because as somebody who is in my world, you’re going to start seeing the impact of these changes, you’re going to start seeing the ripple effect of decisions that I’ve been making. And sometimes it’s nice to feel informed. I know as a manifester, I like to inform people and let them know what is going on.
