Happy Lion's Gate Portal!
The Lion's Gate Portal honestly has a very special place in my heart because it was my very first conscious manifestation experience.
I was 22, at the very beginning of my business. I remember sitting on the grass with a group of my girlfriends under the moon. Writing little scribbly notes on a scrap of paper talking about all my goals, dreams, and wishes for my brand.
I used the astrological forces (that I really did not understand yet) to land my first $30k client in my business. I'm so grateful and mind-blown over that experience that I make space, around this time each year, to share what I've learned with you, to help you grow your business and attract dream clients getting paid for what you love.
What Lion's Gate Actually Has to Do With Your Brand, Business, and Making Moneyyy
Here is what I understand now, after 8, going on 9 years as an entrepreneur.
The energy of Lion's Gate is about Presence.
Your Presence is you. Your own consciousness: how you think, what you believe you're worth, the way you operate when no one is watching.
It is the inner layer of your brand: how you see yourself, what you believe you are allowed to charge, how you actually show up.
It runs on your consciousness, and it is the first part, the P, of my PRISM: Brand Identity framework.
Without your Presence, you have no power. No influence. Which means no money, and no becoming that special one in a million that becomes famous, even when you have every bit of the potential for it.
When you master your Presence, it feels effortless to show up as the expert you are, which means charging 6 figures, making multiple six figures through low-ticket offers on auto-pilot, and getting asked to speak on stage alongside other multiple-six and seven-figure visionaries.
How Lion's Gate and the Eclipse Reset Your Brand Identity
So here is how this works. This is a two-part reset.
Part 1 is this week, during Lion's Gate. You do the inner work: you get honest about who you're becoming, and realign your Presence to her.
Part 2 is next week, the total solar eclipse in Leo on August 12. The eclipse releases the identity you've outgrown, so the new one has room to lock in.
Questions to Sit With During Lion's Gate (Part 1)
As you build your brand, you get clear on what you don't want, and sometimes your vision changes.
This is your opportunity to realign your Presence, your consciousness, to your highest potential. You have to make space for that change to lock in, so you don't accidentally keep working toward what you don't want. (Then feel burnt out, and want to burn it all down to the ground)
Here's what I want you to get radically honest with yourself about:
Who have you always dreamt of becoming, versus who do you now dream of becoming? Spot the difference. We are looking for what you have outgrown that you are still holding onto.
What have you been working towards that feels frustrating, irritating, slow, or annoying? Is this still something that aligns with your future vision of who you want to become? Or, is there friction because it's time to let go or change?
What part of yourself are you scared of showing online? Is this a part of you that's required to achieve your highest dreams? Not every part of yourself must be put on display, but some of our biggest insecurities, vulnerabilities, and traumas are there because we are meant to share them with the world.
