SHOW TRANSCRIPT:
Hello and welcome back to the She's Sacred Show, I’m so excited that you're here. Hello I'm Katherine Phifer. Welcome, welcome.
Today I am sharing with you about my comeback era, how I'm doing business differently this time. And I'm really excited to share with you some of the things that I have recalibrated . Some of the things that I'm revisiting, some of the things that I'm letting go. And, I hope that it empowers you to connect in with your own work in a new and powerful way.
A couple of things before we dive in. First is that I currently have a mini experience that is on sale until no well, we start December ninth of 2024. and it's on sale until November 29th, which is Black Friday. I didn't plan it that way, but that's how it worked out. And I would love to have you come in and experience this. It's called the Sacred Fem Experience, and it is an interactive and integrative experience for you to return to you, to return to yourself, love, to return to your magnetic energy. It's really a sacred opportunity to reclaim your power, your energy, and your magic. And the sacred femme experience is like I said, it's interactive. It's integrative. It's 21 days of a listening to an audio and journaling practice that you code in the sacred feminine lessons that I have shared. There's also a component of master classes where will be diving deeper into some of the sacred feminine concepts, including healing sisterhood wounds, and using soft power to change the terrain of leadership and the climate of leadership, and also allowing for more of the sacred feminine to create a new paradigm for life currently. I would love to have you in there. I will leave a link in the show notes for you to check it out. Like I said, it starts on December ninth. I know that goes right into the holidays. Don't worry. There will be space and there to have your holidays. The requirements in terms of time are not very high, I would say around 20 or 30 minutes a day, you'll have the opportunity to catch up. And the portal will be open for a month. So I really want to start the year off for 2025 and they're really powerful let's go. We're ready energy. And the only way to do that is to start now. And to be in it as we walk into 2025. Sacred Fem will be coming around again, but probably not at the price point that it is on sale right now. And I, like I said, I would love to have you in there. I would love to be in the energy of the sacred feminine with you.
And if you feel like you would like deeper level or higher level support, I do have two private containers available right now. One is an eight week blueprint. It's called the she Sacred Blueprint container. Will we go through two phases in order to release what's not serving you and connect in with what is. And then the other container is a three-month or more. It's three-month minimum. one-on-one container. And that one is called the Femme C Suite. This is for a woman that has created a legacy for herself, created a legacy for the world, and wants to do things differently. She's been in it. She's created really powerful things and now it's time to recalibrate and reconnect and use the sacred feminine to create a lot more fun, a luxury, power. just the juicy yes that we're all craving. That's what the Femme C Suite is all about. So I'll leave show notes for you for all of those programs. I would love to have you at any of them.
All right, let's dive in. So, my come back, era. If you've been in my realm for a while, you'll know I moved to Sicily last February. And when I moved to Sicily, because my husband works for the government, there was some confusion around whether or not I would be able to continue working in my business because of the SOFA agreement and with Italy, in particular, there was a law that if I wanted to benefit from the services of the government and I did that I would not be able to receive money through employment. And they rewrote the the agreement and now I I'm able to work in my business without any issues. The whole point of that is when we were thinking about moving here and creating our plan, I was okay with the idea of letting my business go. I felt like there are pieces of it that were really wonderful and amazing and powerful and there were pieces of it that were just not serving me. And it sounded kind of nice to give it a break. It sounded kind of nice to let pieces of it go to recalibrate, to do different things. And so I just let it be. I said, okay, I'm going to I'm going to give it some time. I'm going to give it a little bit of a break. I'm going to move to Sicily and I'm going to let myself just feel into what I want to do next.
And moving to Sicily kicked my ass. It's was a very challenging move. And it triggered things in me that needed to be healed. The island has a way of doing that. And there was a lot of fire energy. There was a lot of burning energy. There was a lot of you have to face this, Catherine energy. And I went into a pretty significant state realm experience of anxiety and depression and there were a lot of things that occurred that I would never do again. I really had to consider what my power was and where I was giving my power away. and also, I just had to learn how to be in a new way and to face some of the fears that I'd had for a really long time. I'm really glad I had that opportunity and I'm really glad that I had this space to do that, that I wasn't holding other people in my work, which I do. It is really powerful that I didn't have to do that while I was also facing my demons.
It really energetically aligned and worked out in a really beautiful and powerful way. I did not know if I was going to get through it. I did at some point call, actually, I emailed the movers to see how I could leave because it was not working and how we could leave, not just me. I wasn't going to leave by myself. I did consider what it would look like for us to move and now I have to say things are better and I feel more connected and more aligned and I feel like I can make things work and we'll see how long I goes, but and it and like I said, this island is really powerful. It's got a lot of history. It's got a lot of energy. It's got a lot of magic. I really think it's somewhere you could do a lot of really deep, powerful work if you were in the market to do that.
Through all of that, I knew that I wanted to continue to do my work, but I wanted to do it in a new way and in a way that served me and in a way that felt more aligned. And I'd like to start this conversation really about how what works for me might not work for you. And however, it might work for you. What I really love about working for myself is that I can do it my own way. I can create my own standards, my own policies, my own boundaries, my own way of doing it. And then honestly, I don't have to answer to anyone. I don't have to agree with anyone on how we're going to go about doing it. That's really powerful.
So some of the things that I'm going to share with you may align with you, some of them might be something you could pin and say, hmm, I'm curious about that. Some of them will not work for you at all. The reason why I want to share this with you is that in my comeback era, I am doing it to be a line to me. I'm creating a legacy in my alignment so that it's more potent. It's more powerful. It's more aligned. It's more connected. It's created for sustainability and longevity so that I don't burn out so that I don't feel like I'm spending my wheels. And that feels really delicious.
So the first thing I want to share with you is my email list, my newsletter list. I poured a lot of my energy time and passion into my emails in the past, and it felt a little bit like a drain. It felt like I was spinning my wheels with it. And I know if you're listening to this and read my emails, I appreciate you and I love you. And I feel like too, that I would often put hours and hours of work into these emails and it just felt like they were spinning that the energy wasn't expanding. And I had I wrote emails for a long time. And so I came across someone who was doing email marketing differently and that she only had a newsletter list for people who had invested in her programs. And also I had changed around my emailing a bit. And so it was a good opportunity for me to make the decision that from this moment forward, my newsletter would be private and that anyone from this moment forward purchased a program that would be invited to be on my newsletter list and they could hear from me about what I am sharing and that I'm going to do emails differently from now on. There's not going to be twenty five emails for a launch ... I never did that, but you know what I'm saying that I find too, my interest in emails has changed where I receive so many emails. I'm on so many different lists and I don't read any of them. And they just they feel stagnant to me. They feel like they just sit in my email box and I they just pass by and I don't I don't have the capacity to connect in with them unless they're from someone I really want to hear from. And so I'm recalibrating my own inbox and my own way of being in other people's inboxes. And it might be radical, but and I would a hundred percent agree that there will be business mentors out there that will tell you not to do that because your email list is the only thing that you own. You know, there's your only way to contact people. But I feel like from an energetic perspective that I'm willing to give it a risk and I'm willing to give it a try to do things differently and do things in a way that serve me.
So if people want to stay connected in with me for free, they can. And that's the beauty of this world. I have a new podcast that you're listening to. I have a Substack that you can subscribe to that is free currently. You can also follow it if you would like. And you can stay connected, even with your inbox or that because Substack emails whenever someone writes a long post, I believe. I'm still learning Substack. You can go to my website and read all of my articles as well. And I have Instagram and Facebook, but more Instagram where you can connect in with my art and my words and a really powerful way. And if all of that goes away, I will find another way to do it. But this feels so much more aligned to me and less like I'm spending my wells. I've started to think of my podcast, the Shish Sacred show, and Substack Letters from Katherine and my Instagram, which is just Katherine Phifer, as my body of art, I have this great opportunity to speak with you. I have a great opportunity to write to you and I have a great opportunity to visually connect in with you with my photographs and my art. And that all feels really amazing and powerful and lovely. And so the opportunities to connect in with me where you don't even want to be energetically connected through an email or energetically connected through purchasing a program feels really good and it feels really aligned.
The second thing that I have done is I've really looked at my time management and I've been creating some pretty strong boundaries around my time management. So that things feel more connected and more in service to me. I've really made a priority which I have not in the past of my family time is my family time. And I am not working during family time that I used to allow myself to work into the evenings and to negotiate my kids and to be focused on emails while I was watching a show with my family and I'm just not doing that anymore. It doesn't feel a line to me. When I'm working, I'm working and when I'm not, I'm not. And I've created energetic boundaries around how I connected with Instagram and how I connect in with email. And I'm not perfect at this, but I'm really allowing myself to just lean back and let my work do its work and let the power of my work be something that connects in with people on their timeline. And it doesn't matter when I've created it on my timeline. The third thing I'm working on is how I am investing for support for my business. And I am creating, I currently do not have any contractors or employees.
However, my business will expand to that point where I will need an online business manager. I will need contractors again to support my work and I'm considering how that's going to go and I'm creating my own written standards and policies around working with me. I have in the past had issues with contractors, not being on time or not doing their job in the right way. and I'm just not available for that anymore. And same thing with an online business manager. I'm really thinking about and creating this role of someone who can really support my business in a way that feels really good. And since I've kind of burned it all down to the ground, I haven't needed those supportive roles just yet as I'm building, but I am thinking about it.
I'm also investing in the support of apps and email providers and calendar systems and social media management systems. Just all kinds of apps that can support the way that I function. One of my favorite apps right now is a journaling app called Day One. And I had it for free for years. And then I all of a sudden said, you know what I'm going to pay for this so that I can have different journals. And it has completely expanded my life because I'm able to write in each journal, say, for example, I have a journal for the Sacred Feminine Experience and I have a journal for Energy Queen. I'm able to write out what I want to say and I'm able to plan out what I want to do and it's all on my phone and I have it on my computer too, so I can go back and forth and I can organize myself in this really powerful and connected way. It feels really good.
And then the last thing that I'm doing, which feels so beautiful and also a little bit scary is using my intuition to receive support. I'm not going and searching for the programs that are the most popular or that have a thousand followers or thousand people signing up for them. I'm really looking at people that I have been intuitively drawn to and that are in my realm, that I know are going to support me and that I believe are going to support me. And so I'm hiring mentors and supportive people in my life with that in mind, with that in my soul. And it feels really powerful. I've been working with the same people for quite a while and I have to say I've picked some really amazing people to work with. And I'm trusting that my guide's the ones that I choose on an intuitive level and frequency are there for me for a lifetime. And that I don't have to worry about it. I'm also paying attention to when I'm on social media and I feel like there's this feeling of FOMO or there's this feeling of like I need that, but it's from a energy of fear that I'm not going to invest in that energy anymore.
And honestly, some of the people that I have worked with in the past, I've let go of recently because I've met I've met them. I've met their energy and I'm walking away with love, of course, but I'm no longer need to be in the energy of their work or another way to say that is it's not serving me right now. Maybe I'll go back to their work in the future, but for right now, I don't need to be in it. I need to be in the energy of something else. All of that to say, I'm hiring the right support and the divinely led support that I know my business requires for its next expansion. In this comeback era, I'm really listening to my soul. I'm really listening to my body. I'm really listening to myself as the leader and the queen of what I have to offer. I'm really stepping into the identity of the me that is here to change lives and to create legacies and to help people create legacies. And that feels like really powerful work.
The final thing in my comeback era that I'd like to share is that I have tip toed around my psychic and channeling abilities for a long time and used it and work with my clients, but not really as an outward statement or an outward offer. And now I am now I'm allowing my magic to be front and center. When you work with me, my ability to psychically see the whole picture is really quite a gift and I'm really grateful that I have cultivated. And it really is the magic of my containers. It's what people work with me for. It's what they align to. And so why am I not talking about it? Why am I not using it in a way that supports people in a way that says, hey, these are my gifts. I can psychically see and holds you through everything and we can create a way for you to connect in with yourself and connect in with your work in a powerful way and in your life that it's not just your work, your legacy is not just about your work and your a powerful mission. It's about your entire life. And we get the opportunity to really create a magical playing field for you.
I really do believe that you get to have everything that you desire. And when people say, oh, you can't have it all. Like, we're so busy. We are pulled in all these different directions. You can't have it all. Well, I disagree. I think you can have it all. You might have to change how you see things in order to have them all. Maybe you can't cook dinner for your family because you are in meetings until dinner time, but you sure can hire a chef to make you the most delicious meals on the planet. And that's where I feel like we you can have the things that you desire. You can have the deep relationships. You can have the healthy relationships with your kids and your partner. You just have to figure out how to create it. I get really passionate about this because I feel like in today's time, people say, well, you have to choose. You have to choose between your work or your family. You have to choose between being a good mom or being a good leader. And I think that that is not true. I don't feel like it's true at all. I don't feel like that is an accurate way of seeing or a way of feeling and I'm ready to change that paradigm and dynamic forever. That's one of my missions and one of my legacies.
So my comeback era is pretty powerful. It's full of fire. I'm really meeting its match. It's meeting me. And it's allowing me to run a business and run my business in a way that feels so much more aligned to me. It is, you know, my business. It has my name in it. I should be able to create the business that I want to create and you should be able to create the business that you want to create should be able to create the standards and the policies and the boundaries and the interactions and the way that you go about things that fills energetically aligned to you.
