Eagerly anticipated, magical journeys to far-flung corners of the planet with my love? 

Canceled.

Carefully researched, only-rarely-come-up personal development opportunities with top teachers? 

Derailed.

The deliciously immersive, luxury retreat I planned to hold?

Postponed!

I’m almost positive that if you’re reading this email, you can relate to plans being scuppered.

Our worlds were turned upside down last year. If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that we have to leave space for the unexpected and learn to detach ourselves from the outcomes. 

Of course, that can be easier said than done –– especially if you’re a recovering perfectionist, Type-A overachiever like moi!

So, in the video below, I’m sharing my harmonious approach to planning for 2021, grounded in my signature Transformational Embodiment Coaching Method.

It’s rooted in finding harmony between being and doing, feminine and masculine, aliveness and automation… I have a feeling it’s going to shift the way you plan.

Watch as I reveal my best tips for envisioning this year before us and share a powerful lesson on releasing detachments that I learned while on a retreat in Greece.

I hope these insights serve you as well as they’ve served me.

P.S. If you want to start the new year with a remarkable new career, I invite you to check out my Professional Transformational Embodiment Coaching Certification here. It’s the only ICF-accredited multi-modality program of its kind and it starts on January 18th, 2021.

The travel plans and workshops we were signed up for have of course been postponed, but it sure was a year of epic growth and adventure for us, as I’ve been reflecting on as we lounge on the couch in our coziest pyjamas.

That growth and adventure just didn’t come in the ways we thought it would! Like, instead of a long trek to get to a ritual cave I was going to visit in Thailand, I trekked into the caves of my own being to reclaim parts of myself I had shamed and judged in the past.

From frustration and grief, to relief and joy and surrender, I felt aaaaall the feels this year. And I have never felt more grateful to have a whole toolbox of modalities, rituals, and practices for processing emotions, transforming my life, and living from my potential.

One of those practices I’ve frequently been using this year –– and for many years –– is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), otherwise known as tapping.

Over the years, I’ve used EFT to help shift and release blocked energy and painful emotional charges held in my body that, unbeknown to me, were preventing me from living my most radiant, abundant, powerful, pleasure-filled life.

With the new year approaching, I’ve been using EFT to release 2020 and consciously make space for all the magic and potential there is to look forward to in 2021.  

Want to try my ‘Clear the Year EFT Practice’ for yourself? I made you a guided video of the practice!

Think of it as your ‘tapping recipe’ for releasing 2020! 

Big love,
Natalie

from deep within your heart?

Let that question sink in for a second.

There’s no denying 2020 has been a rollercoaster for almost everyone.

For some, it’s meant chaos, disruption, or the loss of friends and loved ones…

For others, 2020 has been about mindfully counting blessings, seizing the day, and taking purpose-driven steps on a path toward new beginnings.

Whatever 2020 has meant for you, I’m willing to bet it’s brought up some powerful emotions.

Whether ‘good’ or ‘bad,’ ‘positive’ or ‘negative,’ I invite you to honor and process the emotional charge of this year through a timeless end-of-year ritual where you write a letter to 2020 letting it know how you feel about it.

This practice allows you to process and deepen your awareness of everything that happened for you this year and enable you to move confidently into 2021!

Curious to know more about this powerful practice?

In relationships, in business, in entertainment, in government, in just about every institution and industry in our society, including in the personal development industry we are part of, there it is.

Not only have these industries, structures, and institutions been led by men, the methodologies themselves have been masculine in nature, relying on set rules, firm structure, mindset and clear direction. 

There is a seismic shift underway though. Can you feel it? The Feminine is rising to usher in a new paradigm.

To me, this new paradigm is a balancing of the Masculine and Feminine, not an overtaking of the Masculine by the Feminine. This shift will slowly occur in every institution and industry, including in personal development. And my newest venture, The Embodiment Coaching Institute, aims to be a trailblazer in this new paradigm of personal development.

Today’s podcast episode is all about this new paradigm of personal development, how it serves you, and the part you and your business can play in creating a new world.

Podcast highlights 

0:40 – What is Masculine energy and what does it do for you?

1:00 – What is Feminine energy and what does it do for you? 

4:01 – How you can combine both the Masculine and Feminine in yourself and in your business and relationships to create balance

8:27 – The path of embodying what you most desire to create in your life

19:33 – The role of men and the Masculine in the new paradigm

It’s an invisible package of unique gifts and an individual expression that is imprinted on our souls. It’s what we’re here to share with the collective, no one else can duplicate it, and it’s what this week’s episode of the Reveal podcast is all about.

In this episode I’m interviewed by my love Yossef Sagi. We do a deep dive into what “Magic & Medicine” is and how you can find your own.

Podcast highlights

2:35 – Find YOUR Magic & Medicine and share that glory with the world 

3:46 – What you do in this life, do it on purpose. Make it your ministry 

5:18 – How letting go of million dollar revenue streams was the smartest move I’ve ever made

8.08 – The importance of adding what you have to the collective cauldron 

9.30 – How it’s a disservice to yourself and the universe to not discover and share your Magic & Medicine

You’ve got something amazing simmering inside you, am I right? It’s a best-selling novel, it’s an amazing course that’s going to change the lives of hundreds of people, it’s a movie script that’s Oscar-worthy.

The problem is that it feels like you never have enough time to dedicate to getting it done. 

You DO have the time though. Trust me. I wrote two manuscripts last year, launched a new brand and program, and I still had time to live my life and travel the world for four months. 

How did I do it?

With my favorite productivity-boosting ritual from my book The Rituals, Priority Power Hour. It’s a strong and very effective ritual designed to help you focus on the priorities and tasks that align with your soul’s work. 

The reason you may not be creating all you’d like is because you are letting what is urgent in the short-term get in the way of what is truly important to you and to the impact you’re here to make long-term.

In today’s video I’m going to share my Priority Power Hour ritual (which actually takes only 50 minutes – so I just saved you 10 minutes right there, ha!).

I’ll teach you about when to do it, how to do it, and specifically what not to do during your power hour. I’ll also reveal to you the type of music that’s the secret sauce that will lubricate your creative flow.

Here are some key points in the video… 

• Separating To Do List and Priority List [0.15]
• The Priority List – 3 x things per day [0.38]
• What will matter to you a year from now? [0.47]
• Fun fact: I wrote my book in Priority Power Hour [1.05]
• Inspired by The Pomodoro Technique [1.40]
• Set a timer for 50 mins and smash through your number 1 priority [1.49]
• Priorities must get done in the first part of your day [2.00]
• Turn off ALL distractions [2.08]
• My SUPER weird mega tip for staying focused – it has to do with music! [3.04]

I hope this video serves you. The world is your oyster, dear one. Look deep inside your heart. It will tell you what you need to focus on next.

You can find the Priority Power Hour and many other rituals in my latest book, The Rituals, available here.

Have a productive day!

In case you haven’t heard of B-School, it’s an 8-week business training program for modern entrepreneurs. It helps you build a business around your unique passions, talents, and gifts.

Today I want to share more about the program with you, answer your questions, and tell you how you can get access to both B-School AND my B-School bonus to take your soul-centered business to soaring new heights this year.

And if you have more questions about how B-School and my bonus can support you in growing your business, you can contact me at support@nataliemacneil.com.

Every entrepreneur truly making a difference in the world has a deeper “why.” Let’s start there.

You probably know Marie from MarieTV every Tuesday, or maybe you’ve seen her on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday. Marie is quite simply a business rockstar, and what I love most about her is that she truly cares about people and making an impact. Check out the clip below of Marie talking about her “why” behind B-School.

What is the B-School curriculum?

B-School is an 8-week program for modern entrepreneurs. The curriculum includes implementation weeks so that you have time to put learning into action.

The B-School modules include:

1) Map Your Profit-Making, World-Changing Plan

2) Create a Website That Converts and Sells

3) Design a Winning Communication Strategy

4) Increase Traffic, Grow Your List, and Amplify Your Reach

5) Create Raving Fan Customers With Outstanding Offers

6) Master Timeless Marketing Wisdom That Works Across Every Industry

Marie also offers advanced bonus training modules on everything from PR, DYI Tech Training, Social Media, Productivity, How to Get Outstanding Testimonials, Behind The Scenes of the B-School Launch, and more. There are new updates and bonus trainings added every year, and what’s cool is that your enrollment comes with lifetime access so you invest one time and can take the program again each year for no additional cost. I’ve been taking B-School for years!

Get a full program tour of B-School here.

Is B-School worth it?

B-School is an investment, no doubt about that. I get that it can be really scary to invest money into your business not knowing the exact result you’ll get. Here’s the thing: investing in learning from those who have been where you want to go is essential to your growth and success.

And in B-School, success stories are not rare. They’re the norm! Read thousands of success stories and case studies here.

How do I know if B-School is right for me?

Every year Marie’s team and mine get a lot of questions about whether B-School is right for certain businesses and individuals.

There are sooooo many different types of businesses in B-School – brand new ones, seasoned veterans looking to innovate, brick and mortar businesses, e-commerce businesses, I could go on and on!

If this question is keeping you from joining, if the program seems too big, if the modules seem like way beyond your capabilities right now – I promise you they’re not. If you want to chat about whether B-School is right for you, you can email me directly at natalie@nataliemacneil.com and I’ll personally reply. You can also talk to Marie’s team at bschool@marieforleo.com.

So you might be wondering what you can expect from B-School, and if it’s as life-changing as people say it is. The answer is a resounded YES. Be prepared to…

Get outside your comfort zone. This is where all the magic happens. I’ve grown the most personally and professionally by getting comfortable being uncomfortable. There will always be a bit of fear when you’re chasing your goals, and that fear is when you know you’re dreaming big enough.

Get to work and play with awesome people. I truly believe in the saying, “you’re the sum of the five people you speak to most.” (If you talk to 100 like-minded, like-hearted people on a regular basis through networks like B-School, even better!) In business and life, you need to surround yourself with people who are going to raise you up. Period.

Learn from a mentor a few steps ahead of you. “If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.” That’s a quote I love, and I wish we knew who said it. Every entrepreneur can benefit from mentorship and Marie Forleo is definitely a few steps ahead of most of us. I’ve personally learned so much from Marie, and I know you will too.

Ready for a life and biz-changing experience? Join me in B-School this year.

From talking to hundreds of women I’ve met who have gone through B-School, I know exactly what they wish they would have had during and after the B-School experience. When you join B-School through me, you’ll get access to my signature, transformational coaching program called Reveal. You’ll also get access to my Sell Your Soul Sales Event (attend virtually!) for soul-centered entrepreneurs who want to learn to convert the leads you generate in B-School into paying clients. And you’ll get my bestselling business books delivered to your doorstep via UPS.

Get all the details here!

One of the most beautiful ways you can transition into a new year is through ritual. Today, I’m sharing three of my favorite New Year Rituals with you to try out.

First, I take you through some of the highlights of my past decade by sharing parts of my journal with you. Journaling is a ritual that many great leaders and creators have had, and this is a perfect time to start a journaling practice if you don’t already have one.

Looking back on the wins we’ve already had gives us evidence of what’s possible moving forward, and reflecting on the lessons can help you mine the gold from your experiences. Here’s a look back at my last decade:

After looking back and reflecting, it’s time to create the future of your dreams. In the video below, you’ll discover two new year rituals I love that I know will bring more intention, presence, and joy as we move into this next decade:

You can find these transformative rituals and more in my latest book, The Rituals, available here.

Happy New Year, Dear One!

Natalie

I am so excited that my new book is here! 

You probably know I’ve written three bestselling books for entrepreneurs over the last five years. Well, a couple years ago, after the launch of my last book, I was pretty burnt out. I took some space to recover and return to the places and the practices that ground me, tap me into my aliveness, keep me connected and super inspired to create. 

During that healing process I received a download for the next book I was going to write: It was called The Rituals, and it would be a collection of the practices that are foundational in my life.

Today I’m celebrating that book being out in the world! When you buy a copy in the next 72 hours at nataliemacneil.com/theritualsbook you’ll also get my online course RITUAL ($197 value) as a free gift. The Rituals is an amazing gift to give for the upcoming holidays too!

Want to know more? Listen to this audio recording I made you where you’ll hear me read the introduction of the book.

One question I’ve been getting is whether I’m still working with entrepreneurs. Yes! I am totally committed to helping entrepreneurs build successful businesses around their soul’s work. The Rituals supports you in aligning your business to your deepest desires and contribution you’re here to make, and producing life-changing products and services from your state of being. Of course, the book itself is for more than just entrepreneurs. It’s for everyone, and it’s not just in bookstores either. You’ll find it in retail stores around the country as we head into the holidays!

That’s right, you’ll find your favorite denim and cozy sweaters AND Rituals in stores:

Writing The Rituals helped me to recover from burnout. It helped me to find my voice and that direction forward. It helped me tap into a deeper awareness and sense of presence. It helped me connect with my magic.

And my wish for you, receiving this book is that it also helps you connect with your unique magic and medicine. That it activates and awakens more of the remembrance of who you are and what you came here to do. That it moves you to take aligned actions to step into the life you so deeply deserve.

You are ready to take a profound journey into parts of yourself you maybe haven’t explored. And that journey begins here.

In the video below, my dear friend Alyssa Nobriga interviews me about this transformation, the pain I experienced, and how I finally let go and embraced what I was being called to.

Is there anything you are clinging to in your life? If you let it go, what may open up for you?

This is the question I invite you to explore as you watch this interview:

I know my life hasn’t looked conventional. If you’re reading this, I imagine you’re destined for an unconventional life, too.

In the video, I share how I let go of a ten-year relationship, left the city I grew up in, left my family and my closest friends, and moved from Canada to Los Angeles to follow the calling on my heart. I arrived with a yoga mat and a suitcase. It was terrifying for me, and it felt like everything was beyond my control. That brought me into a place of pure surrender.

I christened the floor of the room where this video was shot with a flood of tears. I couldn’t “hold it together” and for the first time in my life, I allowed myself to really unravel, honoring everything that was coming up. I allowed myself to fully feel the grief of the transition – the letting go of the life I left behind.

Feeling those feelings so fully left me like a blank slate, ready to expand into my new reality.

A pivotal moment arrived in both my life and Alyssa’s life the night we met, and that’s what made her a perfect person to interview me about my journey. We share more about that moment in the video, and what it meant for each of us.

I want to leave you with two things today:

1. Thank you. I am so deeply grateful for the love and massive support I felt through the hundreds of emails that flooded my inbox when I announced I was rebranding to nataliemacneil.com. My heart is soaring. A million thanks. (And if you missed last week’s big update email, read the blog post here.)
2. You have full permission. Not that you need it! But sometimes we’re praying for a nudge in a new, bolder direction. Consider this your sign. You’re ready to be more of you. To follow your heart and what feels true.

If you’re enjoying this new direction, I am inviting you on a glorious adventure. Get started with my Futuring Ritual that I recorded for you to be guided through a practice I use to transform my life and business. Download it here for free.

If you’re not rollin’ with it, that’s totally okay too! You can hop off the train. Thank you for following my journey this far. It’s been my deep honor and privilege sharing it with you.

I am fully committed to being all of me because I believe when we each show up as our full selves, that is one of the greatest contributions we can give the world. More to come!

All my love,

Natalie
