Find, Reclaim and Use Your Natural Woman Power to Create Change

Sometimes I find myself Hiding behind….

I talk the talk but do I walk the talk? I often ask myself this question as I continue on my journey as ‘The Power Guidance Coach’ (new branding…well old branding with a NEW meaning ;-) . I have admitted that when I first began my coaching ‘career’ (used to hate that word LOL) 12 months ago that I saw myself journeying with thousands of other women, most were Mumma’s but there were few non mumma’s too but in all this I saw no difference because we are all ‘one’ but unique in our own journey. I’m so so so excited to have beautiful women surround me (thats you I’m talking to!). In the past I have been so resistance to ‘allowing’ women form strong, powerful & meaningful friendships…. Because of that reason alone. That when strong, powerful & meaningful relationships exists so does massive transformation, personal growth and love and acceptance.

For years I’ve hidden behind my kids. They are my safe base where everything can seem quite normal and to be honest are a good excuse for not pursuing more from my life! Not only did I hide behind my kids but also my husband! So in total its been 8 years of hiding!

I remember when it was just me. I left home at 15 to pursue my purpose and passion as a ‘horse whisper’ (even though I didn’t advertise that!). I saw so much before me. I was always striving for bigger and better things, I was going somewhere! BUT you know, I also hide behind the horses I trained. I seeked to be the best horse trainer in the world at the young age of 16… I was going to be a rock star in the horse world! People would seek me out from all over the world.

So many opportunities came, they were abundant. I was ranking in all things horsey and I was beginning to see my name in many magazines. The opportunity came for me to go to the USA and train, show, ride, work hard at what I loved…. then I began to doubt. I told myself “that I was needed right where I am now… these horses need me…” As much as I was into personal growth, as soon as something massively awesome came along like this I would shy. Find an excuse, HIDE behind SOMETHING! My mind already new the transformations that COULD take place if I was to pursue my passion.

I feel sad that I’ve put blocks in my own way. I love that saying “get out of your own way” as easy as that sounds its bloody (Aussie slang) hard to do! Its a journey NOT a destination – that is what life is about.

 Fast forward to now…. I find myself mostly hiding behind my kids (imagine if they knew that… well I think they do you know). This business of mine that I’m evolving into – my Power Guidance Coaching business had just had a HUGE transformation. Massive realisations and massive purpose to move forward. I’ve deiced that “yes I deserve the energy exchange for money for my gifts and services” and “yes I want to impact the world… it’s not about the money but the money is a reward amongst many others…” and “I’m not going to be hard on myself any longer… I DESERVE this, even though people say that I should gift my gifts for free…”

I hid and hid and hid. I scared myself! I knew that I had gifts to share with others but I wondered how they would be accepted. I wondered if people even needed them! The more I hid behind my kids & marriage the more I lost myself, became sick, lacked energy… all of that and more! So not only were my kids & hubby my excuse but so was I – illness, lack of energy etc. But, like with everything, there is a breaking point… it hurt, I screamed, was suddenly more aggressive and grumpy than ever, I cried, I hated…. This was the journey of realisation. Of finding me again… I found ME HIDDEN in my wildest dreams… those dreams that I dreamed when I was a kid about changing the world (more of that in my book I’m writing ATM!) My gosh it took a lot of effort to find me. I think I have found me now… but I known that will change! Remember how I said that “life is a journey not a destination!?” – I LOVE THAT ABOUT LIFE!

 

So HELLO WORLD!

I’m outta hiding now! I No longer say things like “I would love to do that, but my kids need………” or thinking “Hubby would never be on board with me on that… he already thinks I’m crazy!” or hearing “You’re kids should come first  you know!?” or “Maybe I’m not enough just yet… maybe I need more… training, research, encouragement etc….?”

And oh em gee does it feel awesome! I feel Freeeeeeeeeeeee! And because I’ve decided that anything is possible (it just needs a little thought and planning) that my family dynamics aligns with me. I can go out and have a glass of wine for an hour or 2 (which turned into 4)! I can say “yes, I want to go to Mexico in September to meet my badass sister!” and say “YES” to me… allowing the abundant flow of life to evolve with me as I grow and become that better person.

I know can happily, easily and loving take self portraits of myself… and I LOVE THEM!!!!! I used to only take pictures with my kids, hubby, my dogs (before all that LOL)… But now I love who I’m becoming… I am ME! I’m an individual but I am not alone!

Have you been hiding? Where did you find yourself, or maybe you’re on that journey still? I would LOVE to share this journey with you, so please comment below <3

Lets be beautiful powerful women together!

Letting Go People in My Life

You’ve heard me write about finding myself ‘again’ after I feel I totally lost myself through becoming a wife and a mum. It’s not my families fault… hell no! I’m not one of those parents that say that their children are a pain in the arse and how much I can’t stand my husband…. NO! I take responsibility for the life that I live, which can be a massive challenge in itself. I recently wrote a blog post for Positive Parenting Connection about ‘Who Come First, Parent or Child?’ I wrote this post purely out of inspiration, as soon as I was asked to write my finger began to tap away as it worked in sync with my heartfelt and much needed message. The response from other mumma’s was incredible and tugged a string at my heart. You can read it HERE

The Power Of Letting Go of People

Sometimes I have to stop to think – “what is it that I love…?” or more to the point “who do I love & why…?” The reason being is that my heart has ached before because of friends or family that I have either lost in my  life in a physical way (death) or in a emotional/spiritual way (separation). I knew that I loved these people and I knew that perhaps I ‘should’ love them still. But the truth is that as we evolve as beings – particularly if you’re an inspired & driven women – we being to ask ourselves and re-think our thoughts that we once have thought.

I love climbing trees just to sit & think

I’ve left some friends and family behind. As sad as that sounds, what matters is what I need now. Very self focused I know… but I felt held back in some ways by these people, I still love them but on a different level…more of a level of acceptance rather that a ‘need’ basis.

As women I think we all struggle to let go of things… particularly people as there are so many memories attached to people, emotional feelings! I’ve learnt over the last few months that it’s OKAY to let go of people that I have already separated from, those people who [we] slowly and peacefully drifted apart.

The whole conforming to the “I should really call….. ” Or “Oh geez I should really speak to so and so…..” All these ideas in my head are practical thoughts not who I  REALLY am NOW!

“People will come and go but you will always remain”

~ Tara Lea

 

Once I really tapped into who I am NOW as a person I realised how much I really need to ‘let go’ of people that aren’t aligned with me anymore. That doesn’t mean that I called up each person and said “Hey [name] I wanted to let you know that I don’t need you anymore!” hell no, that would be heart wrenching!

Here are Some people that I have let go of : :

~ I’ve let go of friends who I used to drink (alcohol) a lot with

~ I’ve let go of people who have belittled me and told me that it wasn’t possible

~ I’ve let go of people who said they want to see me, but really I can hear they are only saying it from a place of ‘should’

~ I’ve let go of people who are not into ‘growing’ and evolving into a more enlighten person

~ I’ve let go of people who do not support me in my new mission & purpose

~ I’ve let go of people that I cannot see any meaning in our relationship

The beauty is that when you evolve into more of YOU, naturally people begin to ‘drop off’… In their soul/spirt they know that they aren’t aligned with you anymore… so they aren’t attracted to want to talk or be around you…. and that is ALL OKAY!

“Trust that everything will fall into place with

your new way of thinking”

Even letting go of the death of someone can be really bloody hard! We almost feel guilty when we don’t respect the fact that they have died and almost feel like we have to feel sad – forever. I have learnt so much from people dying – close family and friends and what it boils down to (as my inner wisdom speaks) is that this was for them, this IS their journey. I don’t see death as a destination… I have no idea what happens after death, but all I know is that they have impacted my life on many levels and those memories are what I treasure and I allow their ‘impact’ to teach me whatever I need to be taught – death has power in that way!

It’s funny as I write this post as I totally wasn’t going to write about this…. but then my fingers and soul took over, so I know some of you really need to hear this message – I love that about inspiration!

??? Do you feel like there are people you need to let go of in your life… or maybe better words are to let go of people in your ‘old life?’ Maybe you’ve been thinking about this but feel a little guilt surrounding ‘letting go?’ ????

 

Share you’re thoughts below in the comments, I would love to hear form you, or send me an e-mail (tara@taramauger.com).

 

I’m happy to be on this journey with you!

 

Love & Support!

How To Overcome Overwhelm

“Overwhelm” is sometimes my middle name in between “mum”, ‘wife’, ‘business owner’ & ‘friend’ (probably much more…. I’ll leave that one alone, as I’ll get overwhelmed just thinking about it!)

After an “overwhelm” episode I decided it was time to take a break – I just had to for sanity sake!

I love the outdoors – I really feel this is where I can truly re-connect with myself. So I set out on exploring some of the beautiful ‘Flinders Ranges’ where my family and I are staying at this moment. I walked a steep, heart pounding climb up a hill to feel….. well F-ing awesome!

While I was there I wanted to share this MOMENT with YOU and give you some ‘power’ in how you can overcome your own personal overhwlem – whatever that might be. Oh, AND you get to see some prrrretttt-y amazing views of South Australia’s Flinders Ranges - Powerful message and Powerful veiws :-)

As always love n support to you!

Why Affirmations Don’t Work

Doesn’t it suck when you’re trying so hard to make something work and you practically try everything – including positive affirmations and nothing majorly changes or shifts in your life?

I’ve been there too, wondering why my affirmations weren’t creating the change that I desired. It took some searching to figure out why this wasn’t working for me and as it turns out there are many others that struggle to make affirmations work for themselves too!

I created this video to explain why affirmations don’t work for some people (& meet my beautiful puppy!)

Watch below!

 

Does this make sense for you? Let me know how you go with implementing this change, I would love to hear from you!

How To Create Your Ideal Day Everyday!

There is something new that I have implemented into may daily life – well actually I knew about it but forgot of how much this can shape my day. I needed more inspiration….

Inspiration = Your Spirt in Action

A few months back, after finishing each of my exercise in the mornings I would do some yoga stretching with some deep breaths and affirmations like “Thank you universe for gifting me another day to live up to my full potential” and finished with watching a mind movie that I created (you can see my blog post about mind movies here). In the past few months I have let that slipped, because I didn’t feel that it served me any longer (although it did back then!) so for a while now I have been in search for ‘something’ that resonates with me. I loved stretching and taking deep breaths and without affirming words I felt something was always missing from my day.

 

And then…..

I received an e-mail form a list that I’m subscribed to (Although I cannot remember who it was from) and as I quickly scrolled through it at the bottom I saw some words that really stood out for me…. Words to shaped my day…the words that I have been missing from my day.

 

The Words Missing From My Day

 

“Today I want to feel ………………… “

 

“Today I want to experience …………………”

So So so simple yet so so so important!

I have been doing this for almost a week now and BOY can I tell you that this totally has shifted my days more to ‘my way’.

 

How it has worked for me

The first day I declared after a deep breath and stretching that I wanted to feel – LOVING & LOVED and I wanted to experience PRODUCTIVITY.

On this particular day I had more complements and appreciation expressed to me that I’ve ever had in one week!

On this particular day I did 4 hours worth of work in 2 hours!

No joke! It worked like magic!

on DAY 2

I wanted to feel WISE & KNOWING & I wanted to experience TRANSFORMATIONS

On this particular day I gave my best of my heart and soul into my coaching clients and shared wisdom that I totally forgot about and ‘knowing’ that I haven’t expressed before.

Transformations were occurring not only through me, but my clients were experience massive breakthroughs in the lives!

This is what happens when you put energy into your intentions!

My coaching business reflects my soul…. what you see here is who I am truly. And this is unfolding more and more as my business & I grow. I know that when I put my energy into my business particularly at this level of ‘conciousness’ of declaring how I want to “Be” for the day really helps my clients fast track their success – this is what I’ve noticed!

 

I really love coaching women!

Imagine if….

:: you put your intentions forth everyday and they happen….? How would this change your everyday life?

:: If you put great energy towards people you love & care about….. how this would change your day(s)……?

:: If you put this kind of energy into YOURSELF….. how different would your life be……?

:: If you put energy towards having the ‘right’ kind of support to support you in you life….. how different would your life be?

IMAGINE THAT!

 

Set Yourself a Challenge to transform your life…

I’m going to create my new habit of setting my intentions until it no longer serves me BUT I need to commit to it for 30 days so it becomes a habit… not ‘giving’ up on the idea…. I need to set it in stone so that my mind is wired that way…. so that it will soon be such a natural way of ‘be-ing’ that I won’t need to remind myself.

I would love to have you on board with this challenge!

And I want this to really happen for you so bad that I’ve set up a automated e-mail (which I’ve put myself on too) that when you get to your e-mail inbox in the mornings…. you have a reminder to set your intentions for this day…. for 30 days!

 

CONDITIONS:

when you Receive the reminder e-mail you MUST not delete it straight away you MUST READ IT! You must STOP what you’re doing, take a deep breath and set your intentions (even close your eyes!).

How to Know what you want….?

In the first e-mail I will give you some tips on how to KNOW what you want. Because often amongst all the other ‘stuff’ in our heads it’s hard to see through to the “What do I Really want” – So I will teach you that!

If you want to feel good about everyday and truly make the most of it then go ahead and fill in the form below and you can get started straight away to learn how tap into what you want & get your daily reminders! You have all the resources for your transformed life at your finger tips!

I look forward to seeing your life transform!

Asking is for people who are desperate?

So many of us fear ‘asking’ for things that we need, want & desire – including me!

I sometimes fear to ask....

I have many fears around asking for things, and the interesting thing is about this fear is that it is usually connected to me asking for help with something or related to money.

As women there seem to be a spoken and un-spoken law to never ask for help, that we should “be strong” and figure things out for ourselves, and most of us follow this religiously but on a subconscious level (as in we are not aware that we are resisting asking for help because we are in the habit of not asking).

I know that I have been stuck in situations where my heart is ponding ever so hard KNOWING that I just need to ask someone for something, but my mind chatter is saying otherwise… things like:

Mind Chatter

“They’ll never give you that”

 

“Who are you to feel free to ask”

 

“C’mon are you serious do you really think you deserve that”

 

“They will defiantly say no to that!”

 

all these thoughts are BLOCKS that are stopping you from getting what you desire… wether that be money, more fulfilling relationships, or any other desire.

SERIOUSLY! I’ve been there (and still have those moments) where I’ve heisted asking and then I totally missed the opportunity!

 

What’s The worst that can happen…? LOTS!!!

I begin to be hard on myself like “what a F@ck head I am for not asking… what is wrong with me… seriously Tara whats the worst that can happen?” The answer to the later question “whats the worst that can happen” is that they will say “no”…. sounds silly I know, but seriously most of us have been there!

And other things like:

 

“They will think I’m desperate”

 

“They will think less of me… like I’m not sting enough”

 

“They will put me down”

 

“They will offend me and tell me to get over it”

 

Don’t these thoughts really hurt! Your heart is saying one thing and you mind is saying another and it beings to feel all like “too much!” So…. we leave it alone and bury that desire.

Asking anyhow

There is no more need to bury baby!

Imagine if when you had that strong desire to ask for something you always asked!? how different would your life be? What things would you have?

A short exercise to help you ask for something when you want, need or desire things is to draw a line down a piece of paper… on one side write all the things that ‘could go wrong’ then on the other side write down all the things that ‘could go right’ – I bet that there would be more on the ‘right’ side than the wrong side.

This will take some practice to help you form a new pattern in you mind about ‘asking’ for things… but the rewards a very worthwhile!

Much Love & Support!

 

P.S. If you need to ask me fore some help, support or anything else… e-mailing me would be a great place to start! :-)

5 Reasons Why Routines S*U*C*K!

Most of my clients that I speak with hate one word…. “Routine” to them it means that they have to be stuck on a certain idea and a way… BORING!!!! LOL I must admit I feel the same. After having my first baby I totally let go of any sort of routine because they just didn’t work, especially with a newborn! Along that journey as a parent and now a business owner I realised that there is a need for some sort of structure in order to get things done.

Here are my 5 reasons why routines suck

1. They get ‘old’ and uneventful

2. There is no room for the unexpected

3. The can create bad habits that are hard to break

4. It’s too predictable – takes the fun out of life

5. Lacks freedom & felxiblity

So instead of mentioning the “R” word again I want to introduce something new that I think you will like. My new word still begins with “R” but it sounds a lot more prettier ~ Rhythm ~ doesn’t that sound nice?

Creating Rhythm in your life is like your dancing with life. I’m sure that you have had those moments in life where you have felt in the flow of life and like “yes! I want EVERY day to be like this!” – this is what rhythm is, its the flow of life where productivity lives, where daily surprises come, where you get unexpected e-mails in you inbox & money in your bank account, where you have let go of the “hows” and just focused on living your life in the best way you know how.

RHYTHM ~ do you want to dance with your life? Have the endless amount of ‘flow’ ? It’s all possible for you my friend!

 

In my personal life I ALWAYS need someone supporting me (like another coach/mentor) to remind me of this flow and that it can be found when I want it most.

My kids are 1 of my great reminders of flow

5 Reasons Why RHYTM is good

1. It creates flexibility

2. creates space for unexpected surprises

3. Let’s go of the ‘hows’ & allows that magic to take place

4. It’s much more productive

5. create more room for the things that are close to your heart

 

My own Example of Rhythm

Monday’s are my ‘goddess Admin’ days ‘between’ 11am & 3pm (with added flexibility of course)

Tuesdays I dedicate some “me” time

Fridays I’m dedicated to blogging on my blogs

These are just a few

 

From my experience in coaching (& personally) you need rhythm if you’re feeling :

~ Overwhelmed

~ Sickness/Illness (headaches, colds etc)

~ Lack of energy

~ lack of motivation

~ Lack of sleep

~ No libido

~ Survival Mode

~ Lack of clarity

~ Anger bursts

~ Regular Frustration

~ just to name a few

Our bodies really do speak to us and I know that if you’re reading this that some, if not all may apply to you – which is GREAT! Because now you know what you need!

Here are 2 things that I suggest for you get back into YOUR flow of life:

1. Get support – OKay it’s crunch time, I ADMIT that I sometimes I REALLY struggle to ask for help… MOST women do! And if you’re any of the above ‘symptoms’ then you have struggled to ask for help. Your support could mean coaching/mentoring (see below for a special offer just for you community here), or just asking your family, neighbour for physical help (everyone loves to help others – just ask)!

2. Take some time out for yourself – watch me speak about this HERE while I take you for a swim in the ocean.

This blog post could be a god send for you, because right now you could be saying “yes, yes, thats all me” which is great because you’re tuning into your needs for your life.

There is something very exclusive I’m offering for only 5 Inspired Women who :

~ Want more support

~ know there is a better life for you, you just not sure where to start

~ Want to feel like your life is full of motivation and passion each day

~ Are craving change in your life

~ Want to turn your challenges into powerful changes

If you’re the woman described above you need to fill in your details right away for your No Charge Complementary coaching call where you will discover how to:

~ Turn your Challenges into powerful change

~ To find & use your natural & authentic power to KICK start your life

~ Learn how to conquer your challenge(s) in the easiest & fastest way possible

There are only 5 spots that I’m opening up, so get in quick as I know as we get closer to mid year women are beginning to wonder ‘where the year went’ as they think about all the things they ‘haven’t’ achieved yet.

This will be a 1st in first served basis.


 

 

I Look forward to chatting with some of you!

 

Much Love & support

5 Reasons why you should have YOU time

You’ve heard it been said before…. Actually I’ve said it before too!

But why oh WHY do us, as women, still DON’T do it!

Why do we always put ourselves last – when it should be first… because if you can’t look after and love yourself a how can we authentically love and care for others???

Sometimes I feel like hitting myself over the head… LOL becuasue when I’m feeling overwhelmed, angry, out of the ‘flow’ and passion less I think to myself “What is it that I’m doing wrong?”…. can you feel the answer brewing…? The answers is always “because, TARA, you haven’t done anything for yourself recently…”

So, on this particular day, as much as there was OTHER stuff to do I NEEDED to get into a better head space….and I while doing this I wanted to share this VERY IMPORTANT message with you…. all while I swim in the blueness of the warm ocean >>>>

 

5 Reasons why you should Create YOU time:

  1. If you don’t you will live a passion less life
  2. It will help you gain more clarity (even without thinking about it)
  3. How will your family learn to love themselves if they are not shown?
  4. You will gain incredible inspiration and insights for your life
  5. Less bad stuff will happen in your life and more good stuff

 

What would you love to do on a regular basis for YOU time?
