What 'Playing Big' means to me

An extract from the first workbook for The Selfish Bookclub and an invitation to you join me

Hello you!

I’ve spent the morning preparing for the next launching of The Selfish Bookclub and I have just sent the content for the first workbook to the designer (AKA my branding genius husband) which includes my statement about what Playing Big means to me.

The first workbook encourages you to start to explore what playing big means and what you want it to mean for you - because it doesn’t have to follow the traditional model that might first spring to mind. Playing big is necessarily about power, wealth or prestige - although it could be - and it’s important to work out exactly what it is for you, so you can see it clearly in your mind, go for it and recognise it when it starts showing up.

So I wanted to share this statement of mine with you, so you can also think about how you might play big - and if you haven’t joined in already, perhaps this is what you might need to connect you with the idea of playing bigger - starting with joining the membership!

When I think about playing big in my life, I think about the following;

• Having impact - making sure everything I do has a ripple effect for at least one woman but hopefully many.

• Feeling secure in my self esteem - understanding that high self esteem is my right and not something I have to earn via other people’s opinions. Only I have to approve of me. And I do.

• Feeling my wisdom - knowing that the past 51 years that have brought me to this place, have filled me with so much knowledge, experience and opportunities and that it’s not only OK but it’s right for me to pass that on.

• Good vibes only - I do not allow people or situations into my life that do not bring me joy and give me respect.

• Safe to be successful - it’s safe for me to show up as I am, be liked and have people be willing to invest in what I offer. Whilst I am not defined by financial success, it’s more than ok for me to earn as much money as I want.

• Being myself no matter what - I am building a life where it’s always ok to be me and where I am accepted for who I am and to actually create a life around me, instead of fitting into a life.

So this is ME playing big. What about you?

I’d love to know what you think of my playing big thoughts and what that might have sparked in you. Tell me in the comments something that means playing big to you…

If you are curious about my membership, the link below gives you a 14 day trial so you can give it a go, have a look at the first couple of workbooks and see what you think.

If you decide to stay, there are then THREE workshops coming up in the autumn as we work through the book and also two online gatherings to chat generally about the themes and how we might already be playing bigger in our lives.

Every chapter has a beautifully created downloadable workbook to help you fully explore the ideas and themes and these are released in phases over the next three months, the first this Friday and the second about 10 days later. It’s £7.50 a month or £65 a year - in a year you’ll probably get three different books plus all the other membership benefits such as monthly journaling, so an annual sub is a great gift to yourself.

With love,
