Quotes:
[00:09:23] Shyamala: So I think when I first learned, you know, it didn't feel like it was me, and it's because I was not being who I am designed to be. I was being who I thought I needed to be. [00:09:36][12.8]
[00:15:40] Shyamala: And so I actually found that becoming a coach in the online space before learning about my design was really detrimental to me. And so I'm actually unlearning a lot of those ways, which are beautiful for generators and mani-gens, but they're not in alignment for a projector. [00:16:04][23.5]
[00:18:50] Shyamala: Now that I have been experimenting with really doing everything differently in my business, it feels much better. I feel so much more in integrity. [00:19:02][12.1]
[00:22:09] Shyamala: It's trusting that if I honor my authority, which is my decision making authority, if I honor that, that I will receive aligned invitations. And if I don't, I won't. [00:22:25][16.0]
[00:33:16] Shyamala: And so the shift that was happening internally for me was the sense of being lost and found. [00:33:23][7.0]
[00:34:12] Shyamala: We can reclaim an identity that's perhaps much closer to who we're really designed to be. [00:34:18][5.8]
