Confession time: I have quite a rebellious spirit. If someone tells me I can’t do something, that usually just makes me more determined to do it!

(It’s a Scorpio thing ☺️ )

But that rebellious spirit is exactly why I love challenging the status quo when it comes to creating an amazing life.

Our modern society is kind of a funny thing. We all like to think we’re pretty darn unique. Yet so many of us are trying to create a cookie-cutter sort of life!

When you step away from the expected, people actually have a lot of opinions about what your life “should” look like! For example:

If you’re spiritual there’s no WAY you can be rich or sexy.

If you’re sexy, it’s highly unlikely that you can also be spiritual or rich.

If you’re rich, you might be sexy but you definitely won’t be spiritual.

But why put limits on your awesome-ness levels?

Instead of upholding those ridiculously old-fashioned beliefs, it’s time to start dreaming of a better way to live!

It’s about time we all called bullshit on these outdated concepts. Why can’t you have your cake and eat it too?

Thinking that you can’t have it all is just a story that YOU are choosing to believe.

If you want to slay your life in every way, it’s time to change up the story!

It’s time to dream bigger.

So consider this post my call to arms! It’s time to stop settling for what you’ve been told is possible. If you want to be rich, sexy and spiritual then it’s time to do go out there and do it baby! So let’s get started:

Rich, Sexy + Spiritual AF: How To Create Life On Your Terms

On the surface, being rich, sexy and spiritual might seem like wildly different things. But it’s time to stop believing they’re mutually exclusive! When you really dive into what each component means, you’ll soon notice they actually have a lot in common:

Rich, Sexy + Spiritual Principle #1:

Why It’s Important To Be Rich

Money is a simply an extension of YOU. Which means if there’s not enough of it in your life right now, you’ve likely got some issues around self-worth to work on.

Not to say that it’s all your fault! Money is a tricky topic for many. While we’re all inherently involved in the pursuit of it, it’s also common to have some very mixed feelings about it.(“Money is the root of all evil”, “Rich people are greedy” etc etc,)

If deep down in your heart you believe that money is bad or that you’re a bad person for wanting it, then it’s going to be difficult to create a life of abundance!

Money isn’t powerful in itself! But it does amplify your power. If you’re spiritually inclined then it will do you and the whole world some good for you to have some more of it! Being rich means you can put your will into motion. Your money can support charities, small business, organic food etc etc. It can buy you yoga classes or let you volunteer abroad for six months. Money gets shit done! Becoming rich just allows you to create more of what you want to see in the world.

Rich, Sexy + Spiritual Principle #2:

Why It’s Important To Be Sexy

Just to be clear, the sexiness I’m referring to here is NOT about fitting into a size two, bleaching your teeth or getting Botox. If you have or want those things, great! But if not, don’t worry–this isn’t about fitting into one rigid idea of what attractiveness is.

The sexiness I’m talking about is all about attitude. The one trait all sexy people have in common is confidence.

When someone knows both who they are and what they want, they become downright irresistible.

We don’t want to spend time with people who are focused on the negative things in life! We want to be around people who inspire and energize us. When we see someone who’s totally living in their authenticity, it’s hard to keep our eyes off of them. That means real sexiness is about far more than your physical form! It’s about your mindset and your attitude, your ability to make life happen.

Basically, attractive people are always total bad-asses! So let’s up your sexiness levels. It’s time to get clear on your values. Establish those boundaries. Set those goals! The more self-actualized you are, the sexier you become. Period.

Rich, Sexy + Spiritual Principle #3:

Why It’s Important To Be Spiritual

Cultivating a relationship with spirit is a personal journey. While I’m not here to dictate what anyone should believe in, I deeply believe we’re all spiritual beings having a human experience.

In fact, I believe we’re all just parts of the same consciousness. Our human forms are misleading. We look different and we have a very limited perspective while we’re here. But ultimately we’re all important pieces of something that’s much bigger.

Spirituality is all about feeling connected. It’s about having purpose. It creates meaning. Without connection, purpose and meaning, we end up feeling lost.

When you trust in yourself and in the divine order of the Universe, you can surrender. While it’s wildly exciting to set goals and plan your life, it’s also important to own our limitations. We can control our perspective, our focus and our attitude. But there are many factors in life that are beyond us. Instead of wearing yourself out trying to micromanage every last detail in life, it feels pretty amazing to let go of the stuff that’s beyond you.

Deep down inside, you know you’re part of something bigger You’re not just here to do you, boo! You’re here to make a difference. For some, that means climbing Everest or starting a NGO. For others that’s volunteering their time or being the best mom on the block. But whatever it is, purpose and passion are the keys to an amazing life. So it’s important for you to connect with yours!

Don’t sell yourself short my darling! The only person who can really tell you you can’t do something is you! If you want to be rich, sexy and spiritual AF, then your time is now! Let’s go out there and make it happen.

Thank you so much for reading beautiful! As always I’d love to hear your comments and results, so drop them below. Much love & see you next week!

It’s all too easy to become susceptible to the fear and anger floating around in the world, especially after the last week.

But all that negativity truly becomes dangerous when you begin feel helpless or like you can’t make a difference.

Feeling helpless is a sign that you’ve given your personal power away.

But you don’t have to give in.

Even in these dark times, we can take steps to expand human consciousness and safeguard our own strength.

While we must all do our part to fight the battles ahead, the real battle always begins on the inside.

Needless to say, being spiritual doesn’t give us exemption from caring about the world at large! If anything, it should make us hyper-aware of the change that needs to happen.

We must band together now to end oppression and hate. And the shift will always begin within our hearts, within our minds, within the seemingly small parameters of our own life.

So with all of that in mind, I’ve got a few suggestions for you today:

7 Spiritual Things We Can Do For The World Right Now

Spiritual Things We Can Do For The World Right Now #1:

Lead From Love

Hate cannot eradicate hate. Love is the only answer and that means concentrating on our similarities, not our divides. We need to breed even more understanding not create an even larger gap. You always have the ability to make a loving choice. So spread your own loving energy out as far and wide as you can.

Spiritual Things We Can Do For The World Right Now #2:

Get Curious About The World

Right now, it’s much easier to get caught up on the confusing facts and figures floating around out there, than it is to keep asking questions. But it’s important to keep going for the why. The world cannot change without first creating understanding. So don’t argue for the sake of standing your ground. Keep asking questions. Curiosity is a symptom of an open mind. It invites further conversation and introspection for everyone involved.

Spiritual Things We Can Do For The World Right Now #3:

Honor The Divine Feminine

As much progress as has been made in the last century, the events of the last week show there’s still a long way to go. It’s time to stand strong and support our brothers, sisters (and ourselves).

We can succeed if we unite and amplify ourselves. Seek to honor your own voice and the voice of your fellow womankind. Look for the ways that you can help out where it is needed. It’s more important than ever to do so. It can be big or small; it doesn’t matter. The point is that now is the time to reclaim our divine feminine power and it will take all of us to do so.

Spiritual Things We Can Do For The World Right Now #4:

Reclaim Yourself

Remember you still have ultimate dominion over yourself; no leader, state or nation can take that away from you. Now is a great time to burrow down and become an even stronger version of yourself. Keep focused on your goals and keep taking action towards creating a better world. Self work is something we all need to do, in order to honor both ourselves and our fellow mankind.

Spiritual Things We Can Do For The World Right Now #5:

Get Out Of The Fear Bubble

Don’t let fear make you small! Realize that fear can be used as a form of mind control. If you find yourself losing hope or feeling disempowered, it might be a good time to take a news or social media break. Of course, awareness is crucial; but many of us have a difficulty drawing a definitive line between external events and ourselves. If you need to give your mind or your heart a break, then do it.

Spiritual Things We Can Do For The World Right Now #6:

Resist Hate

Stay aware that we can create our echo chambers within our own reality. Whatever you’re putting out, you’re also going to get back. That means more you yell and rage the more hate and anger you’ll find echoing back to you. So be mindful of what energy you’re putting out there! Because that’s ultimately the only thing we can control in this crazy world.

Spiritual Things We Can Do For The World Right Now #7:

Commit To Selective Action

This is not the time to be passive and stick your proverbial head in the sand. You will soon be called upon to stand up against bigotry, sexism, homophobia and hate, in one way or another.

However, it’s also important to be selective about where to use your voice. Posting endless political memes or getting involved with arguments on Facebook might feel like you’re doing something. But in the end, we all need to take action in the real world, not just online.

Choose the battles that matter. Listen to your heart and intuition to decide when your voice is needed. And then use it.

I hope this post gives you some inspiration and hope during these turbulent times. While we must all shine our light a little brighter to off-set the dark, there’s no need to feel helpless. The only thing we can truly control is ourself.
