Leaders thrive with Relational Intelligence and a Communication Coach like me in their corner
We all have dreams....as children we dreamed freely, with an imagination that knew no bounds. As we age, we tend to contract more into comfort zones and social norms.

It was an honour to be a guest on the Witchhunt podcast.
"Empowerment, Play, and the Magic of Words: A Conversation with Spiritual Doula and Priestess Pamela French.
In this episode, Pamela, a priestess with a passion for words, empowerment, and play, shares her journey from rural Ontario farm life to working with for the Canadian Government with the United Nations in Afghanistan, and eventually to becoming a spiritual leader, empowerment and communications coach.
Pamela and I share our experiences with international development and how we each navigated this world as spiritual new world architects. Throughout the conversation, Pamela emphasizes the power of self-compassion, consistent focus, and the creation of a new narrative to drive meaningful change both personally and in the broader community."

Would you believe me if I told you that you ONLY NEED 2 MINUTES TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE ???
I know it's hard to believe, but this is where everything starts.
.. and we all are able to find 2 minutes in our day...
โ Whatever you have been trying to incorporate into your life - try it today for just 2 minutes.
โ This works best when paired with something that is already ingrained into your routine.
For example, while washing your hands, add in directing your thoughts to envision something or someone you love. Or if you drink coffee daily, add in 2 minutes of breath work before taking a sip.
Watch how goals are so much easier to start, maintain and grow with this 2-minute life hack!

I had a marvelous time in NYC recently and was tickled pink when a friend who's a huge architect buff said to me - hey we're not far from the French Building, and I said "NO WAY" there's a building with my family name on it!? So of course I had to go on walk and see it for myself and share it with you!

Watch this video until the end to discover an authentic route to FORGIVENESS.
Forgiveness allows you to free yourself.
For the daily resentments and arguments that build up, try this exercise based on the Buddhist practice called Tonglen.
*first, put yourself in the other person's shoes. *second, imagine what someone who said or did that thing must have been feeling or needing themselves
*third, give them that thing - energetically as your own practice or practically by writing them a letter of compassion and forgiveness or having a conversation with them
Notice how this practice shifts how you feel in your own body and towards the idea of interacting with this person again. If you enjoy this shift - then keep it in your energetic toolbox my friend!
If not, then thank you for trying it on. May you find the tool that liberates you to love freely as is your birthright.

The opposite of DEPRESSION is not happiness.
The opposite of depression is having a sense of purpose.
When you have a sense of purpose you connect with what you are here to do, be, have, choose, etc.!
This purpose can manifest in all sorts of ways:
๐ Making a fun dessert
๐ Helping out a neighbour
๐ Taking care of yourself
PURPOSE: connects you to your authentic source of power.
Best news ever? You get to CHOOSE YOUR PURPOSE moment to moment. And act from that choice.

Hello! We have a lot of new friends on this page so wanted to introduce myself! My name is Pamela French.

๐ Creator of the where Presence, Purpose, Play & Pleasure reign supreme
๐ Certified coach and lover of nature
Tell me some things about yourself below!
What is happiness? โ
SCIENTIFICALLY, we are all just atoms that have smashed into patterns. None of that leads to the answer of what happiness is.
What it comes down to is that we have a CHOICE:
A. Are you going to be sad?
B. Are you going to enjoy life?
When it comes down to it, happiness = pleasure.
What's pleasure? Well, it's one of the 4 pillars of
SWIPE RIGHT to read more about it.
Pleasure is a chemical reaction๐ฅ
In the human condition, suffering is a constant state. Therefore, sometimes we think pleasure is the relief of that suffering.
When in fact it is just a hit of dopamine that dissipates.
The power of reorienting pleasure in our life is to find pleasure EVERY DAY ๐
How can you find pleasure daily? COMMENT BELOW โฌ๏ธ
PLAY. IS. THE.WAY.
If you've ever experienced burnout, then you know the consequences of not having play in your life on the regular. ๐ฅต
Without that time to play, recover and renew, you will not be able to continue doing all the things for all the people.
And if you really want to talk then there are ways to reframe your current to-do's and have them be play for you!
I mean let's face it - who doesn't want a life of doing the things that spark JOY!?! โ๐ซ
That's why my clients remark that their whole lives shift once they apply the empowerment code - they have renewed energy and creative powers at work, socially, romantically and in their businesses and communities!
โ What do you do to play?
I often get feedback from people who see all that I'm up to in life and reflect to me that I'm too busy.
And my response is usually that the majority of my commitments feel like a life's purpose and life giving to me to participate in, and so I'm not tired and overwhelmed as they imagine they would be if they were me.
This is precisely why Purpose is one of the pillars. Because knowing your purpose and living your life inside of that knowing is empowering!
It has seemed to me in the last year especially that the more I commit to that feels aligned with my purpose (aka, I fully want to give it my life force) the more time I discover I have to fulfill on these commitments.
Like if I really wanted to write a book by year-end and writing a book takes approximately 100 hours, I could easily schedule that in within the next 60 days kinda mindset.
This video was like an aha moment that explained (to me at least) what I am experiencing in my relationship to time: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMFDDXy2F/ (feel free to copy and paste, or visit my stories to see this trippy video!)
I'm curious to hear what has been your relationship to time in the past and now? Has it also shifted? In what ways?

Here's to soaking up every last moment of fall!
Sometimes all you need is 2 MINUTES of fresh air on a sunny day OR playtime with your pet OR dance to your favourite song...

Where does alignment show up?
Realizing that everything I decorate my body with on a special night demonstrates my alignment.
The commitments that I have show up in my actions.
The words that I speak are in line with who I KNOW MYSELF TO BE - essentially who I am for myself.
โ How do your commitments show up for you? Are your words coming from who you know yourself to be?

Let's peel the onion... part 2 ๐ง
Take your judgements and turn them into SELF-AWARENESS that you can use in your relationships.
๐ง
Layer 1
Listen to your judgement
๐ง
Layer 2
What are you feeling?
๐ง
Layer 3
What values does this signal to you? What REALLY matters to you?
Use this 3rd layer to re-assess what you really need to ask of the person you may be feeling judgement towards.
COMMENT something in your life where judgement comes up for you... practice peeling that onion.
Did you know: you can find EMPOWERMENT through play?
It's true!
Finding your source of self-empowerment does not need to be a big daunting self-help task. In fact, it can be a lot of FUN.
Pamela is a coach who centres PLAY in all of her teachings. By bringing light-heartedness to everything we practice we allow ourselves to drop expectations and just BE.
Curious about what you can discover through play? Follow for more
I was still judging... part 1.
We always talk about creating non-judgemental spaces but does anyone else find that judgements seem to pop into your head naturally?
THAT'S OKAY
There are layers to discover under your judgment.
I call this the peeling of the onion ๐ง
Stay tuned for PART 2 THIS WEEK.
Pause with me for a midnight reading all about ACCEPTANCE ๐
The mind is often caught between what we DO want and what we DON'T want.
TRY THIS TODAY: Add a sticky note where you are going to see it daily that says:
๐ "What can I accept RIGHT NOW - As it is, for now?"
See if you can find peace in allowing what is to be what is without the need to change anything.
If you caught yourself in the present moment, claim it by commenting 1 emoji down below!
Yes, I just said it! I take profound pleasure in my own response-ability.
I am fully empowered to be with ANYTHING happening around me in life and still BE AT CHOICE of how I will respond.
And that friends, is an unlimited source of power.
Allowing you to choose to radically love and listen to people as magical human beings full of care and concerns and hopes and dreams of their own.
Consider this your invitation to let go of:
๐ค Blaming
๐ค Obligation
๐ค Judgement
And rejoice in the pleasure of BEING AT CHOICE to see someone in their full magnificence.

Our Story
As a young child I dreamed freely, and somewhere along the way I found myself living in comfort zones and social norms, humming along for years living what many would deem a very good life - certainly quite privileged and blessed. Nowadays Iโve dedicated my life to discovering, communicating (both with self and other) and living my fullest empowered expression, as well as creating spaces for others to live their fullest empowered expression. Empowerment is Everything is uniquely positioned to help work teams, leaders, community organizations, and individuals in any walk of life to discover their own power to create, connect, communicate and come alive. Clarity of vision and the ability to communicate that clarity is priceless in empowered living.
