The Modern Mountain Hippie

It's not that you don't want to see things change. You're always hopeful things will eventually change for you...

But change is hard for anyone when you're living in the reality of your current circumstance. It's that much harder to clearly see the possibility and potential you have to create the change in the first place when you're busy just living it!

Your current circumstances don't define you and they certainly don't define your future, but if you don't get clear and intentional about creating the change and creating the future you wish was possible, nothing changes.

Ultimately, what you're not changing, you are choosing.

If you're ready to start gaining the clarity to see outside of your current circumstances and take you're power back in living life on your terms vs living a life stuck in your current circumstances, I'm here to lead the way!

If you're done with just settling for what is, I'm offering YOU 3 FREE
Session (no strings attached) to explore what's holding you back and start gaining the clarity to rewrite your story and creating a life on your terms, unrestricted by your current reality.

Space is limited for this offer. Reach out to me via DM--> The Modern Mountain Hippie to grab your FREE Sessions!

Perception is as individual as you are.
It's easy to assume that what you see and how you see it is perceived the same by everyone else, isn't it?

The way you see EVERYTHING around you can't be viewed the exact same way by ANYONE else.
We all have a unique sets of lenses and filters we have installed based on past experiences and perceptions we have.
It's through those same lenses and filters we process everything we observe and take in.

Your perception is as unique and individual as you are!
No one can or ever will see or feel your world through your eyes.
The next time you don't see things the same as someone else sees it, remember that their perception and experiences in this life time are as valid and as unique as yours are, and you may never be able to see their perspective the way they do!

Self awareness doesn't always come easy, but just like anything else, you can seek it, find it, practice it and become better at it.

Start increasing your awareness and bring consciousness to the unconscious and watch how your story starts to change.

I've been in a season of next level increased awareness lately and it's been serving me in big ways as far as leveling up to that next step in personal growth and knowing myself better than ever before.

That's what it's about isn't it?
Learning, expanding, getting to know ourselves better than ever so we can show up, be and do better than ever?
Soul growth.
Next Level.
Writing our own story vs. our fate being sealed in the unconscious that we're not digging deep enough to expose?

I'm here for the expansion that comes with self awareness and higher consciousness, how about you?

Happy Monday!

Have you ever felt you knew someone you thought you knew, but later came to realize they truly were not who you thought they were?

Have you ever had a belief or a view that at some point was challenged by new information available to you and that forever changed your perspective and belief?
It’s probably likely you have if as a kid you bought into the belief of Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy or any of their friends.

Have you ever watched someone stay in a relationship or a situation that was so blatantly obvious that it was damaging and toxic but they didn’t want to see it for themselves?

Maybe they could see it, but they weren’t able to accept it because truth can cut like a knife.

Seeing the truth doesn’t just only shed light on the truth, but it makes you have to see the parts of you that bought into the false perception you had in the first place.

Sometimes those hard realizations and facing your own truth is the very thing that you can’t accept and it stands in your way from acknowledging what is right in front of your eyes.

Truth is truth. It exists whether you choose to see it or not. Denying it doesn’t make it non-existent, it just prolongs the suffering avoiding the truth and living in the false reality brings.

Are you denying yourself the truth and prolonging the suffering that comes with living in a false reality or are you here for the truth, no matter how much it hurts?

The Modern Mountain Hippie added a button to help you learn more about them.

I would have never thought that my life shattering experience over a decade ago would prepare me for this time and space we are experiencing now.

I say shattering, because that’s exactly how it happens.
Something happens that breaks you open, and when you crack and you start to let that light shine in, it starts to illuminate the things you are failing to see.

The things that are no longer working for you.

The parts of you that are no longer who you truly are.
The parts of you that you did recognize as you because of the program you have just woken up from was keeping you from seeing it.
The parts of you that need nurturing and healing to put back all the shattered and broken pieces as you start becoming a more authentic version of yourself who has found a new way.

The way that is in alignment with who you are and who you are becoming.

Welcome the Awakening.

What we are seeing on a global level and as our Earth shifts timelines is just a bigger, grander picture of what happens in the awakening process in each and everyone of us who have or will experience it. It’s happening. The time is now. The old ways of being are no longer working, things are shattering and collapsing so new ways of being can become.
And,it starts with each and everyone of us.

For me, that shatter that shook me awake over a decade ago was rock bottom in addiction, losing my job, my home and so very close to losing the man I love.
For you, it could be a sudden life event like a divorce, job loss, a death, an accident, whatever breaks you and shakes you that grabs your attention and makes you re-evaluate.
On this Earth it’s been these past 2+ years we’ve been trudging through.

This is the time.
Some people have started their awakening decades ago, others are just feeling the shatter now. The mass awakening is happening whether we acknowledge it or not or whether we act on it or not.
Do you feel it stirring inside of you? I would love to hear your experience and what was the tipping point that has woke you up?
Drop it in the comments or if you want to keep it private, send me a DM! I want to hear it! 👇🏼

Are you hearing the call?

These past few years have really shed light on how good we are at giving away our power and being reliant on the things outside of ourselves.

I've watched as we have put our trust and faith outside of us, our security and our safety, waiting for things to just get better. For things to change. For someone else to have answers. For someone else to fix the problems and restore peace. We are giving away our power and our ability to be self-reliant while we’re waiting for our knight in shiny armor to come and rescue us, but the truth is, no one is coming to save us. We can only save ourselves.

There has never been a time greater than now to answer this call we're being urged to answer. It’s the call to call back your energy, take back your power, become more resilient, self-reliant, self-sustaining and connected to your source and your power like never before.
When you stop giving away your power to the things outside of yourself, you take control of your internal environment and you come to your own rescue. It all starts with you.

I have noticed a huge gap between where most people are still living in this state of waiting for someone else to have the answers and to do it for them vs. the ones who stand in their power with the tools to be self governing and resilient.

This work, this calling is more needed and more important than ever right now, so I am answering the call and asking that you’ll join me!

I am inviting you to my newest program and Energy Healing Certification
where you’ll awaken and activate the innate knowledge and power and remember that YOU Are the Healer!

Human, You Are the Healer is an 8 Week Energy Healing & Reiki Practitioner Certification that invites you to step into the power you hold, activate the tools of energy medicine and start crafting your sovereign self - because you can’t control your outer world without first taking control of your internal environment. The world needs this work!

[EXPOSED Day 3]
Here’s the thing, I’ve been a people pleaser extraordinaire.
I have said yes to things when deep down I wanted to be saying no.
Things like commitments I didn’t want to make, agreeing just to not disagree because it wasn’t worth a disagreement - those sorts of things.

But when it comes to the things I value, the things that I believe in and stand for. The things that might separate me from the rest. I stand in that s**t firm and unwavering in my convictions.
Love me, hate me, agree or disagree. No f***s given. Don’t try to put me in your box because I don’t fit.

I’ve gone against the grain in business & in life.
From doing things that most people weren’t doing and getting called crazy, to the most recent when I didn't conform and comply with the current events and the work place policies I stood up for what I stood for. I'll let you read between the lines there.

I’ve pi**ed people off. I’ve lost friendships. I've been laughed at and talked about. And I’ve put it all on the line - the roof over our head and life as we know it.
There’s nothing more fu***ng scary, but also more freeing or powerful than staying true to yourself no matter what!

When you do the unpopular thing. When you go against the grain. When you step outside of the box. When you stand out and stand up. You stand in your power and you hold space for other people to find their footing, to honor their truth and to go against the grain and be true to themselves, regardless of the risk it comes with.
When you think you’re being the laughing stock, you might actually be the wayshower.

If you’re conforming to the boxes you’re trying to squeeze into, how free really are you?!
In freeing yourself, you’ll free others.

If you’re a wannabe rebel, but are having a hard time finding the courage to stand firm on your feet and what you believe in. If you struggle with showing up in your truth, stepping outside of societal beliefs and boxes, or standing up for what your heart really aligns with because it’s not the “popular” or widely accepted way.
If you find it hard to find our voice, let's chat!
Let's start breaking down that box you’ve been being kept in. My DM’s are open!

[EXPOSED Day 2]

What was at stake isn't always A HUGE deal.
Like, sometimes I picked the wrong meal on the menu in my and later regretted it knowing I should have just stuck with my first choice instead of second guessing it.

But, some things were a HUGE deal. Like the time we purchased our second home.

Feeling squeezed by the sale of our little starter property to find a place to live, a limited and super high $$ market and not wanting to have to move our little family of 3 in with parents, I stuffed down the nagging feeling that had me questioning if this was the right move and instead rationalized in all the ways why this property was a good investment

That house ended up almost taking everything from us. It turned out it was full of toxic mold that started to creep through the mask of paint and patch work the previous owner did before he dumped it on us and fled the country.

With not enough savings and a crash in the housing market, we owed more (about 70K 😲) than what the home was now worth.

I remember sitting at the bank like it was yesterday and the mortgage specialist tell us our best move was to just walk away. With no other way out and not way to fix it, we took her advice.

Foreclosure and bankruptcy by our late 20's🤦‍♀️ .

Had I listened to my intuition over my wants and what I thought I needed, I could have saved us from a lot of bulls**t, but looking back from where I stand now, I can see the message in the mess and how the experience has changed us, our values and our perspective on life like:

✨Material things are nothing more than possessions.
Appreciate what you have, but don’t value your worth on what you own or don’t own.

✨Happiness isn’t defined or found in the "things" like what you live in or what you own.

✨You can ALWAYS make a comeback.

✨Making bad decisions comes with a cost, but also comes as a learning opportunity because, there’s always a message amongst the mess

When was a time you overrode your intuition & what did you learn form it?

“Just go smudge your house and meditate, Sam. You’ll feel better”- were the words my mentor messaged me after tearing me down and saying some crazy harsh things that made me feel like s**t about myself.
It was their way to create chaos and then offer the solution (not the way to be a good mentor btw).

Meditation wasn’t what I needed that day. I needed to tap into my intuition and meditation was never going to be the tool to get me there because I struggled with it, yet I spent the next decade trying to get good enough at so that I would crack through, tap in and find the answers I was looking for because so much fu***ng emphasis was put on mastering meditation to access these “gifts”.

“Meditate on it” is what we hear alllll the time.
Need to connect with yourself- meditate.
Have stuff you’re working through and could use validation on - meditate.

The meta and spiritual communities have made meditation the go to tool to go within and connect to your source, but the reality of it is meditation doesn’t always come easy and when it doesn’t, it leaves you feeling like you just don’t have what it takes to crack into that next level of consciousness and tap into the magic that you’ll supposedly find there.

Meditation hasn’t been easy for me and it left me feeling discouraged and like there was something wrong with me. The reality of it is that I’m not alone in my struggle.

I’ve seen this same discouragement and frustration in the online spiritual communities, as well as a good number of the clients I have worked with! People need more tools, not just more time spent meditating!

So, I’ve put together the In Tune FREE mini coaching and training series where I’m going to teach and share what has worked for me and my clients to start tapping in and tuning in and accessing those answers, the guidance and the validation you seek without having to master your practice of meditation to get you there.

Break free of the blocks, start tuning IN to YOUR Intuition and lets have fun doing it!

[Exposed Day 1]

I spent the first part of my 20’s searching for fulfillment and happiness.
Doing all the things that we see a fulfilled, happy life looking like.
I had the relationship, the job I went to school for, bought the house, the car, and started the family. Each time, each step of the way, thinking the next thing is where it was at, just to find out that what I was looking for wasn’t going to be found there - so I kept seeking, spending, upgrading and wondering if I would ever experience it or if I was incapable of appreciating all the things I had acquired and therefore, the problem was me.

I ended up putting my life and my relationships on the line when I stumbled onto opiates and a new and short lived euphoria that made life feel good. Happiness in a bottle. Satisfaction in the littlest of things. The things that made me the most miserable were bearable.

If you know anything about drug abuse, you know that the highs get shorter as the supply you need gets bigger and all those things that once felt so much more satisfying and euphoric started to lose that feeling you once achieved thanks to tolerance.

Eventually, I could no longer achieve the same high anymore, and there I was- right back to square one. Unhappy, far from fulfilled and now I had even bigger problems to deal with.

I had missed out on years of my kids' early childhood because I was too numbed out or nodded off to be present. Chasing my happiness, pill after pill left my relationship broken and so close to being over. When he packed his bags and left telling me he needed to be happy in his life and this wasn’t it, the reality and the grief of losing him pushed me to do what I had to do to get my s**t together.

My life broke into a million pieces when he walked out on me, but it was the exact thing I needed looking back. I was hit with major anxiety from the sudden guilt and responsibility I felt for where I allowed things to end up. So much anxiety that the thought of using another time spiraled me into panic attacks and left me unable to touch another pill. Blessings can show up in the weirdest of ways, like panic attacks that curb your drug use

But how did I change my life for good?

I started to dive into personal development and move forward one step at a time and that’s when doors started to open and things started to shift - that’s when I found energy work as a tool and a form of healing. That’s when I discovered that happiness and fulfillment wasn’t something I would find in the next vehicle upgrade, the next stronger drug, or something I would acquire, but instead was something I would create through my internal environment.
When I cracked open and was the most broken is when I started to let the light back in.

Through the experience, the work and the healing that it has taken me through, I’ve fueled a passion for supporting, guiding and helping others to discover their ability to do life changing s**t too. To realize that if what you’re doing isn’t working you can change it. To find their happy. To create that internal environment and the tools to manage it. To put the pieces all together and let their light shine. I’m here on this mission to do just that!

If you’ve been there, if you’ve felt this “lack” in your life (maybe not the rock bottom I went to, but maybe so) my DM’s are open as a safe place to reach out and confide ✌️❤️

📢Announcing In TUNE - the upcoming FREE coaching and training series all about tapping into, accessing and tuning into your intuition because that’s where the answers lie.

The metaphysical and spiritual communities like to put a lot of emphasis on meditation, and don't get me wrong, it's a great tool for many reasons, but I see so many of my clients and students come to me frustrated and giving up on themselves because they're not getting anywhere fast with their meditation practice, and they’re not able to access the answers, guidance and validation that they seek .I totally get it because I've been there.
I've struggled with meditation and stayed stuck from tapping into my intuition for a long ass time because I didn't know there were other ways to get what I was after! But that's not the case anymore...

Time to stop putting this off and do the thing that I’ve been sitting on and procrastinating on for another Monday or maybe next week…

This year for me is all about commitment and committing to myself, my relationships, my goals, my business and my growth like never before and this is just he thing to push me harder and further in a way like never before and you’ll get to witness it!

There’s a few things I place high in my list of values like truth, authenticity and connection, but I’m also leaning in hard to what it takes to show up and be committed and consistent which I’ll admit isn't always easy as a person who struggles with perfectionism - something that holds me back in a lot of life's arenas.

To bring what I value to this to this space, and do some of the s**t that scares me . To show up in my truth and authenticity and connect with you, on a deeper level, accepting that l might lose a few people who are not REALLY my people (that might be you too) I’m leaning into 2022, commitment and with that, I have decided to challenge myself in a whole new way.

Over the next 30 days, I’m committing to show up daily to expose and share 30 truths about myself.
Some of the things I share will be things that even the people closest to me might not know about me.

My intention behind this is not only to push myself further and harder, but in hopes that I can connect with my people (you) and share the lessons I have learned and experienced that you can relate to and possibly apply to your life, your business and your relationships. The things that my 37 trips around the sun have taught and schooled me in. Things that I’ve worked hard to figure out or paid someone to help me figure it out.

Through this, it might make you judge me, it might make you vibe with me even more. Regardless, I’m committing to myself and leading with truth.

If anything, I hope it inspires you to do something today or for the next 30+ days that challenges you, scares the s**t out of you and pushes you harder too.
