This past week has been a very humbling one for me.
I have been super, super sick. My entire mouth is inflamed and I have been having high fevers every night.You know me, I don’t believe in the virus that is “going around”. Or I should say I normally don’t catch stuff that everybody else has. So I spend a lot of time looking inside and looking into my consciousness.
The first thing that was interesting to me is that this mouth infection came right after my biggest and most successful speaking event to date.
Interesting right?
So I could see how it was definitely an upper limit problem.
Gay Hendrick coined that term “upper limit”. He has found that we as humans have a set amount of good feeling energy that we can handle and if we get over that amount we do something to bring ourselves right back down.
Now the journey to success is mainly a journey in expanding your capacity to hold higher amounts of good feeling energy, like success, abundance, and love for longer and longer periods of time. Drama is the opposite of this. Drama is what costs us most of our precious energy.
Drama is mostly created by unresolved trauma. All of this happens in our body in our nervous system.
So here I was with a very sick body and it brought up all kinds of old stuff.
Feeling like I didn’t matter, nobody took care of me, nobody loved me.
Gay Hendricks also says that when we get close to playing in our zone of genius the old “I am not lovable stuff” comes up again too.
I am sharing all of this with you because mastering your upper limits will be crucial to your graceful expansion.
The first step to doing so is recognizing that you are hitting up against one.
The second step is shifting the energy. Shifting your own energy.
One very powerful question to do this is asking yourself, “what can I do that would make me feel more empowered?”
So here I was lying in bed sick, waiting for my ex husband to help, hoping the man I am dating would come help me and guess what, they did, but not in the way I deeply desired.
So by day 5 after crying my eyeballs out every day and feeling sorry for myself I finally remembered to ask myself the empowerment question.
My answer was easy: just let other people know that you are sick and that you need and want help.
That same day I had 3 friends show up, one of them a doctor and within a matter of hours I was feeling supported and taken care of just as I had desired.
From my background as a naturopathic doctor I know that mouth and throat stand for self expression. Asking for help and support is also a way of speaking up and expressing!!
I know today’s article is rather personal but I know that even though this is my personal story this is a universal theme among women.
And since you, like me, are a feminine leader, it’s important to not only be speaking your message loud and clearly but also to be really clear about what you require.
You can’t be of high service while running on empty.
You are a blessing to this world. People around you will gladly support you if you ask.
You are not asking from a place of victim-hood and feeling sorry for yourself and neediness, you are asking from a place of inner strength. The strength being, knowing that you ARE a blessing to everyone around you.
My home work assignment to you from me this week is to get it into your bones that you are a blessing, do whatever you need to do (don’t get sick though to learn this lesson, that is no fun!) journal, make a list of everything you have accomplished, go on a journey of how when people work with you their life is changed and how because of this everyone’s life around them is changed, see yourself as the pebble in the pond creating ripples, see yourself through God and the Universe’s eyes.
My Love to YOU!

Client Spotlight
“I found Carolin Hauser on Facebook about six months ago. We have worked together a number of times completing family constellation sessions and a VIP skype call. We focused on my visibility issues around launching a new online program, the prospect I found terrifying. Since working with Carolin I have taken great steps forward and have now launched my program which I am delighted with.
“Carolin’s working style is very professional, thorough, supportive and compassionate. She is excellent at giving direct feedback when asked which I have found invaluable. I would be happy to recommend Carolin to anyone who is drawn to this style of work so much so I have decided to keep Carolin as one of my “go to” team members to support me moving forward in my own future.”
