Joanne (00:01.282)
Welcome back to Reconnect Her Fire and thank you so much for being here today. I've had a...
moment this week where I've had to really dive in and trust myself or let somebody else's view, opinion, completely take me off my tracks, halt my direction, my dreams and make me feel like I'm not worthy of all that I've been creating over last few months. So I'm sure you'll be able to relate to this in some way because have you ever let one person's voice, opinion,
completely throw you off your tracks, make you self, well, second guess everything again. But then later regretted it and so you then started back up again where you were before you let them tell you something different. But this is all about me understanding and knowing what is your truth?
intuition that gives you the trust, the self-trust to be able to stand your ground no matter what others suggest to you, advise you, whatever you listen to, because we are constantly, aren't we, being bombarded with messages. It doesn't matter where you are nowadays, you are constantly visually
Seeing adverts, seeing suggestions, hearing, texting, whatever you're doing, there is always a suggestion, a piece of advice.
Joanne (01:40.801)
a sales note, whatever it is you are constantly surrounded by. And it's what ones serve you and what ones derail you. What ones keep you stuck. What ones keep you in fear. What ones enlighten you. That is where self-trust and your intuition can serve you if you let them. Because I had to really dig deep this week myself.
And I literally had to start and question myself and become the version of me who has all she dreams of, of even more, and pick it apart again. I do the work, I do the embodying of the version of me that I'm stepping into. But this time, this really, really did knock me for six. Because as we know, our biggest tool we got...
for advancing, for creating is our imagination. It's how I've created all the abundance I currently have and what I'm building now. What you can imagine in your mind, you can hold. Look about everything that you can see, that you're sat on, that you eat off, started as a thought in somebody's mind. So your ability to visualize, and some people don't, I appreciate that, so they may be able to feel or sense it.
because we all work differently. But however you come to manifest anything in your life, it started off in your mind.
So hearing this really sort of me buckle down and get harder on what the focus and the daily activities I'm needing to get this so I'm crystal clear, so nobody is going to knock me for six again and I'm not going to allow them to because they aren't knocking me for six. It's the fact I wasn't grounded enough and trusted myself in that moment and I allowed somebody else's suggestions to creep in.
Joanne (03:48.237)
go into the subconscious, plant themselves and become my truth. Well, I've ripped that seed out, but how many times aren't you noticing that's happening? How many times of the day is this happening that you're getting suggestions that in the end you end up more anxious, more worried, more self doubt, and then you don't even take a step towards your dreams? Because it's really common.
What it did do for me though, is just remind me to get myself back on track. What does that look like? Meditation. And that can be reading as well. Reading a good book that enhances you. Not a horror, not something that puts your mind in fear and doubt and lack. You want to be reading something that enhances your mind, that opens and stretches it.
So I made sure I was reading for longer and I meditated and I started to write out exactly what it is I want. I know this sounds nuts, but actually how many of you can actually tell me detailed what it is you want? So how do you even expect to get it if you haven't got that clarity yourself? Because so many of us end up with an idea what we want, don't we? But then we hear the self doubt and the self criticism.
And the little voice inside says, that's impossible, don't be stupid, who do you think you are thinking you could ever create that kind of money or have that in your life? So then you push that dream aside. But the whole time you were given those dreams to create in the first place. That was your role on this planet, by the way. And yes, they are already available for you now. There is never such things lack.
Abundance is around you already. If you appreciate and can see all the abundance you've got, you'll create more. If you look around and see all the lack you've got, you'll see more of that. It's a choice.
Joanne (05:39.095)
So I felt this determined little voice inside of me get louder, almost like a younger version of me getting cross saying, I've had enough of this Joe, come on, get on with it. And it really was like a real passionate voice of authority, but a little version of me saying, come on, you know better, you can trust yourself. So it's not a bad thing by the way. So what are your dreams? What are you creating over the next few months?
See, I'm building my biggest dreams and I'm not holding back. So for me to get knocked off at that stage, but I'm back on track immediately. Soon as I come home, soon as I start to realise what seed had been planted in my mind, I was like, you can get that weed out right now. You can dig that out. But that's because I've got a lot of self-awareness and I'm good at this. But you can then see how easily...
that throughout the day, no wonder we come home feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, shut down, having to stay small and quiet because we've unconsciously taken on so many other people's negative ideas and people like to project their fear onto us and their worries and yeah, it's a bundle, isn't it?
Joanne (07:00.654)
So what do you do to quieten your mind down, to let go of this noise, to come back to you, to come home and reconnect to who you truly are, not what everybody else thinks you should be or how they want to see you. So they're gonna project what they want you to do onto them. We do it unconsciously, by the way, as much as we do it consciously.
Because I appreciate how much I do trust myself. But yeah, even when you do, you're going to get those moments where you're almost given a test almost to say, do you? Do you really trust yourself? And that's when you've got to sit back and go, yes, I do. And I'm going to stand in that power.
Your intuition is always available to you. It's a divine guidance, it's consciousness, connection. In other words, you've just got to quieten down and listen. It's never about getting louder, working harder, pushing harder, trying to fight your way out something. It's actually the complete opposite.
When you quieten your mind, you quieten your body, you start to relax, your nervous system takes a breath. You then give your mind chance to empty some of those negative thoughts and to start.
Joanne (08:27.202)
almost a real of what you do want to hear and that's your intuition but it's really quiet and nine times out of ten people just ignore it they push it away they let their mind then kick in the logical mind start to give reasons why it can't happen
but all the time your intuition's there guiding you, nudging you, showing you. But what shocks me the most, and the more women especially I work with, when I ask them, what is it you truly want? And write it in definition, that's the first hurdle. They haven't actually given themselves the space, the time, the belief that they were even worthy of having it, so they haven't really...
brought it into their mind and that's the shocker. So I'm asking you now, have you actually written down what you want? And I mean go for it. I see some of the teachers that asked two to three hundred.
sentences of what do want write out two to three hundred things that you want no limitations no fears write them out and be as bold and as big and then get bigger with these ideas come out of those because we all will
At the moment, you only think to the level that you believe you can accept. So I want you to come out of that level and imagine that money wasn't a problem and time and space didn't exist. Well, they don't. Time doesn't. But really expand that mind. Really come out and push it. that's where you are.
Joanne (10:21.942)
You don't have limitations. They are what we place on ourselves and the beliefs that we create our reality with. You can only see reality in life through the belief system that you currently hold. Until you change those, it's a bit like a computer today that's got a system running from 15 years ago. It's going to be slow, sluggish, and it's going to eventually just come to a halt. And it won't even be able to operate the systems that you want now.
And you wouldn't expect that to be useful, but you're walking around with an outdated computer system that's still running beliefs and they believe me, it's 95 % of your behaviours a day are created from your beliefs. So if you have even checked what your beliefs are giving you at the minute, are they programmes that are benefiting, bringing the abundance, bringing the money, bringing the prosperity, the time, the love, the joy? Or are they filling you with self-doubt and keeping you stuck?
in fear, afraid to ask, afraid to be seen, afraid to show up in case of judgment or fear of rejection or...
Joanne (11:35.983)
just being. Because this is the time to really question. We're in the year of the horse, we're in an energy unlike any other year. And it's giving you the power, it's almost like you're going to get on a train and every other year it goes along at three miles an hour. But this year it's going to speed up to 100. And if you sit at the front it's going to go at 1,000. But in the direction...
of your dreams as you choose them. But if you don't know the direction, how do you know what train to get on? Because most people just sit in the back and don't even know where they're going. So I think the first time, get some clarity, get writing. It turns out it's quite fun. It starts to really expand your mind. Go back, be the child, have the big dreams.
Stop making yourself small to fit around everybody else. Stop trying to pretend that you're not worthy. You know you are. You know you're worth it. You know you want more. The reason is you wouldn't even be listening to this if you didn't. So don't hold back. Don't make excuses. Take one action step today. Because if you want to be and see and feel anything different, you're going to have to do something different to gain it.
Nothing you do today is going to gain a new and different life. You've got to make one small step that's different.
Joanne (13:09.912)
So maybe you're noticing more and tuning into that inner voice of yours. Maybe you're noticing when they're saying no and this time you aren't overriding them. Maybe you've got friends or connections that just don't feel good anymore. We do, we naturally outgrow them. Maybe you're in circles and workspaces that just don't fulfill you anymore, that feel lack, that feel strained, that feel...
you're compelled to do them rather than you choosing to do them. These are all signs that your soul is asking you to choose differently, wake up, move away from, try something new. They aren't there to make you feel depressed and lonely and everything's going wrong. They're actually there to shake you up to say, look, you're not happy here.
Where are you happy? And if you're not sure, get sure, get some help, do the work. Because what happens is when you open that box and you decide you want to step out of it, the universe will meet you there. Now you can call it God, Source, whatever you choose, but that conscious energy is there and it is always with you, supporting you. It's always there nudging you and guiding, but you're not listening.
You're not listening. You're not quietening down. You're not giving your mind space to even allow yourself to be there. If you're still sat there moaning about the same conditions, the same things, day in, day out, Groundhog Day. I know myself, when I hit Groundhog Day, that was enough for me. That was it. I left everything. Everything had to change.
but it doesn't have to come to that such blunt ending of things. Yes, we move through life, but we also choose how we move through life.
Joanne (15:18.764)
And no doubt there's a part of you now asking, what is it that I want and how do I get it? Keep asking, because what you ask for, you'll get. But you've got to be brave enough then to make the tiny step to get the help, the support and ask, what is it I need right now? What do I need to do differently? Who can support me? Where can I go differently that actually there might be people that...
could help me.
Just ask yourself because nobody can answer it better than you. You have all the answers inside of you. You are connected. You are a soul. You are a soul in a human body having a human experience. So if you're getting caught up in this 3D, which I did for most of my life, until I realized and had the awakening that actually this 3D world is a representation of your beliefs,
And if I didn't like the things in my life, I had to very quickly understand I had a choice of changing those beliefs, those programmes, because I was fed up seeing the same scenes day in, day out, fed up feeling the despair, the lack of money, the lack of abundance, the lack of love, the lack of self-respect. I was fed up with it. And I'm sure there's parts of you that are fed up with it as well.
So make a change, make a chance that you can stand up and say, actually, I'm going to do something different for me today. I'm going to put myself first. I'm not going to be there for everybody else today. I'm going to be me. And watch how the universe steps in. Because it does. You'll suddenly find something that will lead you, if you're looking, to your next step.
Joanne (17:15.758)
Now mine were books. Suddenly I felt I needed to read books. I hadn't read in 30 years. And suddenly I was guided to books that even I couldn't even explain or even would have ever picked off a bookshelf if I had to. But I had an urge to read them. And this led book after book after book. And all of them had the same message. And basically the message was...
You can manifest whatever you want in your life when you reconnect to yourself, when you come home to yourself, when you drop the masks, when you start believing in yourself, when you start loving yourself and you start respecting yourself, and when you start asking, you will get given everything that you need to enable you to take that path.
It wasn't a coincidence these books and if I lined them up on a bookshelf in the order that I found them or I would read a book and suddenly a book suggestion that this book had made popped out in my mind, I would instantly buy it. I wouldn't even hesitate. And now if I put those books in order, they actually lead in such a beautiful form that I couldn't have picked those perfectly myself.
It was like the whole story was there. But everyone and every book that I've now moved into because I've made the choice.
to step into new environments, to go to new teachings, to get new coaches, to get new training. They have all had a very, very, very similar message of you have complete control how to manifest anything you want in your life. If you're willing to A, ask for it and B, step into the version of you that has already got it.
Joanne (19:15.382)
Yeah, it does sound bold, but it's truth. It's my truth. I know it, I can feel it, and I'm doing it. And I'm going to show the world exactly how easy it is, because this isn't about stepping in and doing more and working harder and grafting and pushing yourself to the limits. No. No. We need the masculine, but we don't need it at that level. We need the feminine.
because your subconscious mind is where the powerhouse of you belongs and lives. Your mind controls your entire body, your reactions, your behaviours, your words, your thoughts, because they come from those beliefs, the stories you told yourself to feel safe. So there's no wrong in them, but they're just outdated and they're running a system that isn't benefiting you.
So it really is as simple as what ones don't you like anymore? Which ones do you want to replace? And what would you like to see in your life? And what would you like to let go of? But what are you willing to do in the meantime to change this? I love the saying, you can't moan about clowns if you keep going to the circus. So what circuses do you need to leave?
even if it feels a bit uncomfortable because you know they're not fulfilling you. You'll know you're just going there for the sake of it. You know you're meeting up with those friends because that's all what you've always done. So that's what you're supposed to always do. Is it? No. We move through friends through life when we've learnt the lesson they were there to give us the reflection, the part of us that we weren't willing to accept.
a friend will always mirror back to us. And when we are willing to accept it, you'll generally find those friends just drift because you'll move on to the next part of you that needs to be held, loved. And that's my next podcast. And that is a game, changing one to listen to. It's an eye-opener and it's a heart-opener and it's a lot of self-reflection. But the message today is...
Joanne (21:27.67)
Get clear on what it is you want. Believe you can manifest it. Start asking, what is it I need to enhance my life? Ask those daring questions. Say them out loud. There is an energy, a consciousness around you that can answer them, that will answer them, that will plant those answers in your mind.
that would give you what you need, that would direct you and suddenly people show up in your life. Circumstances. You might notice the angel numbers start driving you wild and number plates and messages and you're seeing them on the computer, you're seeing them everywhere. Don't ignore it. That's exactly what spirit's trying to talk to you about. You weren't alone from the minute you were born and you still aren't.
You are completely surrounded with an energy that is there to support and guide and love you more than you're loving yourself right now. Until you've loved yourself fully, they are there with you and they will always be there with you, whenever, wherever you are.
So stop denying the one fundamental thing that can hold your hand and lead you to where you belong. Back to who you are. Back to yourself. And reconnect yourself back to your truth, back to yourself love, yourself joy, back to your heart, back to your desires, your dreams.
They weren't given to you by chance. They were given to you because you had already created them. Your role is just to show up as the version of you that already has them. It's an energy frequency match. No different from tuning into a radio station.
Joanne (23:31.158)
If 88.1 was soft rock but you wanted to listen to classical at 104.2 and you were tuned in to 88.1 you're not going to be able to listen to a different station until you physically take the action to change the station, the frequency and you change the frequency by doing more things that you love doing for you.
not people pleasing everybody else and fulfilling their dreams and needs. There is time to do that but there's more important time for you to step back into who you are and come home to who you are. Because when you do that you can support everybody around you with a blink of an eye instead of feeling that you're so drained, so exhausted, so fed up with it all you don't know where to look, what to think and how to act anymore.
all because that's how we were conditioned. It's not our fault, it's not anybody's fault, but we have a choice. So I want you this week just to really get some clarity on what it is you want. Maybe start asking those deep questions that you've been avoiding. So until next week.
And don't miss out on next week's because that's going to be a bit of a game changer for you, especially to notice who is around you and who has been around you because becoming self-aware is the most empowering thing you'll ever do.
And if something's awoken in you today and you'd like that support, my Reconnect Her Fire programme was designed exactly for that reason. So DM me a message.
