Something has to shift inside your worldview for you to begin exploring who you are as a woman, here on earth, at this time in your life.
Maybe, now you can admit that the more you want isn't necessarily tangible.
More for you might be more freedom, abundance, creative expression, more time, love, or more ease within yourself.
You could be wildly curious about what it would be like to experience a bigger, more fulfilling life - on your terms. The whole idea can feel terrifying, and yet you can't turn away from it.
You might not fully comprehend the journey you're embarking upon.
Some women simply say:
I'm just following what feels right.
Whatever brought you to this awareness, take some time to describe what ease would feel like, or how freedom and a bigger life would actually be experienced. For many, you have to see it before you can believe it so, write down what you know and are calling forth.
Whatever that more is for you.
The outer world is always seen through the lens of your eyes. Therefore, if the experience of more is important to you, be prepared to be challenged.
Nothing new can enter unless you are willing to entertain the possibility of seeing your world through a new lens.
To meet anything beyond your current reality invites you into an adventure - one that asks you to radically trust the unknown aspects of yourself that you are yet to meet.
This is part of the journey into Goddess - becoming more deeply acquainted with the woman who is already here and discovering what becomes possible when you begin to live, lead and create from that place.
Consider this...
You don't need to hide your true nature; you're feminine allure or shy away from your personal power. ALL of you is welcomed here.
Because there is nothing more engaging than a woman who sees herself through the lens of worthiness and fully owns who she is.
In this week's Secret Sauce Collection, Leisa Cournane shares how she built her business and legacy over 10 years. You are also invited into an intimate conversation with the Awareness Journal activity, exploring What Matters Most. I've created a journal PDF to download with this activity and each edition.
Enjoy,
Anna Schaumkel
In Her Experience
“From our first conversation, I knew Anna’s mentorship would support both my personal growth and career. Through her gentle guidance, I became aware of how often I dismissed my own needs and pushed myself too hard. I reconnected with my true self, found my voice, and began making decisions from my own values.”

HER SECRET SAUCE
with Leisa Cournane.
Let’s talk about you as your brand. How did you arrive at this?
1. Firstly, by having a clear vision with achievable small steps over time.
My long-term vision in having a healthy shop was to make the community, New Zealand and the world healthier - one meal at a time and by providing healthy options and quality advice. I feel this vision is what Compleat Wellness has grown into over 10 years; a space that feels like community, a warm hug and a safe space to browse, share and just be.
2. Authenticity is a business practice.
We don't sell anything we wouldn't eat. If we think a product has potentially harmful ingredients, we don't stock it. Our aim is to take the guesswork out of shopping through education, expert experience and providing nutritional options.
3. Leadership and legacy.
I know what it is like to be a single parent, and I was excited to help other mammas [Kate Ross and Rose Keast] into business ownership. Just over two years ago, Kate Ross, Rose Keast and I became co-owners. This has helped the business continue to grow year on year, through collaboration, fresh ideas, sharing the load, leadership and setting goals for our shared vision to support community [and beyond] choices to be healthier.
AN INTIMATE CONVERSATION.

Sit back. Take a breath or two. Get comfortable before you begin writing.
This intimate conversation is an invitation to consider what matters most to you, why it matters at this time in your life, and what you would ideally love to experience as a result. There are no right answers. This is an opportunity to give yourself permission to speak out (on paper) and articulate your truth. If you don't know what matters most, then it is almost impossible for what you desire to become real. So, be patient and listen deep.
1: What matters most to you in your life now?
Empty out your full answer without editing or trying to make it sound perfect.
2: Why does this matter to you at this time? Why now?
Stay curious. What is it asking of you or what feels important about this now?
3: Imagine you are 12 months down the track.
You have followed what matters most to you as a guide for your life.
What are you now experiencing?
Prompts to write your 'now' experience. See yourself there. Feel your future as though it is happening now. What has changed? How are you living? How do you feel within yourself? What have you created, experienced or allowed? Feel gratitude for your courage to follow what matters most.
