Spiritually S.M.A.R.T.E.R.™
The Moment When:
Imagine stepping into a journey that begins with a powerful realization—you, a high-achieving leader, are ready to transcend traditional success and find deeper fulfillment. This is where the transformative 7-step Spiritually S.M.A.R.T.E.R.™ framework comes in.
Heart Intelligence:
As you embark on this path, you feel the urgency to pause amidst the chaos of your busy life to truly listen to your heart. This is more than just a physical sensation; it's a moment of connecting with your heart's intelligence. Drawing on the concept that the heart possesses its own form of intelligence, you tap into a deeper well of wisdom and intuition. In these quiet moments of reflection, you hear the whispers of your true S.E.L.F., your Sacred Eternal Life Force, and your inner wisdom. It's the part of you that knows your authentic desires and purpose.
​
Heart Connection:
Moving forward, you engage in practices that help you reconnect with who you truly are. Through guided meditations, introspective exercises, and transformational conversations, you peel away the layers of societal expectations and rediscover your core values. This process is both enlightening and liberating, allowing you to see beyond the surface of your accomplishments to the deeper significance of your actions.
​
Heart Guidance:
As you gain emotional insight, you integrate these revelations into your strategic planning. You no longer make decisions solely based on external measures of success; instead, you align your personal and professional goals with your heart's true desires. This alignment brings a newfound clarity and direction, transforming how you approach your work and personal life.
​
Life Fulfilled:
Throughout this journey, your actions become more intentional and your achievements more satisfying. You feel a profound sense of fulfillment as your professional and personal lives are now deeply interconnected and harmonious.
This 7-step guide not only empowers you to achieve success but also ensures that this success resonates with your inner truth, creating a prosperous and meaningful life.
The Early Years
For a long time, my lack of self-awareness led me to focus on the wrong things in life. Over-working and relying on external validation took me on many unfulfilling paths, bringing only more frustration. As a high-achieving individual, my career always came first. I didn't believe in marriage—not because I couldn't find the right one, but because I believed too much sacrifice was required, which would detract from my professional growth. This mindset left me feeling disconnected and unfulfilled.
​
It wasn't until an illness forced me to reevaluate my life that I embarked on a transformative spiritual journey. Listening to my heart, cultivating self-awareness, and finding the guidance of my inner wisdom led me to the life I was meant to live. At 45, I became a wife to a man who accepts me for who I am, because I am now fully aware of who I am. This newfound self-awareness has propelled me to new heights both professionally and personally.
​
Through this journey, I learned that true fulfillment comes from within. By embracing self-awareness and inner wisdom, I not only found love but also achieved greater success and satisfaction in my career. This balance has propelled me to live a more authentic, purpose-driven life, and for that, I am deeply grateful. - Josee
