The Time to Soar

By Susan Binnie

In 2017 I was fully immersed in the teaching of being an entrepreneur. I was on a whirlwind journey of trying to get all the info needed to be the best I could be…

As I look back, I name it the time when I suffered from Conference Domino Effect.

When you go to one conference and feel you need to learn from everyone on stage, you go to the next conference and the next… buying the next program and the next. Believing that everyone’s system is the best.

Perhaps they are the best, but you do not need them all at the same time.

This creates too much information and not enough implementation. You need to buy them when you truly know it is the next step for you. You hire the support of someone who has done what you want to do. The one thing that will help you go from where you are to where you want to be. What will create the domino moving in the right direction for you, and at a pace you can keep up with.

I met some amazing people in the process and learned from my mistakes…

If I could do it all over again, I would not change a thing as I learned all I learned as quickly as I did for a reason. It would take me 3 years to fully

This story is about the people I met and the journey I went on.

A journey to see my future, or at least a little taste of what was to come. I remember meeting some amazing women in a mastermind called the rising stars. The facilitator lived in Reno, Nevada and all the other members were based throughout the United States. I met many incredible women.

One of them who was also named Susan took me on a journey to see my future life.

What would it look like and how would it play out? I would be speaking from the stage. It would be my first major event. I saw flowing white curtains all around. Music was playing with a tune like Chariots of Fire. I would come out on stage with a big clunk, clunk noise as each foot hit the stage. I would stand just beyond the curtains. The music would stop, and all eyes would be on me. The audience would look at me standing there in a heavy black coat of armor. They would all wonder what the heck was this… I then would reach up just below my neck and would pull back the heavy cloak and pull it back with both my hands as it would then fall back behind me in a magical clicking noise revealing a beautiful white business suit outfitted with the most beautiful flowing wings on each side. I would raise the wings and the balance of the black cloak would completely fall to the floor as I would step forward into the Angelic being, I was meant to be. The audience would be clapping and then I would emerge and start to inspire.

In that moment I was not sure what I would be speaking about, or who would be in attendance, but I knew it would be one of the biggest and brightest moments of my life.

Since that day I have had many opportunities to speak from the stage. I have spoken from other stages and from the stage I created. In person stages, online, Facebook lives, summits, podcasts and in print. All of these are stages. Stages that perhaps I never saw myself on but they have presented themselves to me and I have jumped at the opportunity.

I have a message to share to the world and it is up to me to get it out there. You too have a message to share… How are you spreading your message?

I have never forgotten about this vision I saw and wondered when this time would reveal itself. Was I supposed to do a big event and make it happen? … was someone else? I was never sure exactly how it would play out.

In November 2020 I was wrapping up a 12-week group learning session I was in. I shared with the group that I was having a tough time with fully stepping into my success. I was not sure what it was, but I was definitely not going to give up, I was just taking smaller steps forward… Dr. Irena, one of the women in the group said that she would be happy to jump on a call with me to help. I was not sure of the work that she did, but I knew that it was worth a shot. She was very heart centered and I felt there was a connection. In December, I was finally ready to work with her. On the call, she took me to a time in my life when I did not feel good enough, not worthy, not pretty, a time in my childhood that I held myself suspended in. She took me on a visualization to visit my little girl.

I had done inner child work like this before, but this time it was different.

She asked me to visualize my dream home. Once there I saw many of the outdoor aspects for the house and the beautiful surroundings. The sandy beach, the calm flowing water, and the mountains in the distance. Then we went into the house, and up stairs to my big bedroom. It was beautiful, all the things I have always wanted.

I was asked to envision a closet… A closet only I could get into. I saw a beautiful dressing area raised on a platform, surrounded by mirrors floor to ceiling. On one side were my clothes and on the other was a giant fire to burn anything that was no longer serving me.

My little girl was invited in and the magic in my mind's eye happened.

Without going into every detail, the part that happened at the end still brings tears to my eyes. As I stood there ready to release the weight and heaviness that I felt upon me, I reached up just below my neck and lifted off this heavy cloak of armor. And as I pulled it off, I remember flashing back three years prior to my vision of being on a big stage. I threw the heavy cloak into the fire and watched it burn with my inner child by my side. I started crying and, in that moment, went back onto the raised dressing area. Realizing I was on a stage, not the one I had envisioned years prior, but a stage nonetheless.

As I was sharing this moment with Dr. Irena and telling her of my original vision from 2017, my computer went blank. I lost the zoom connection; the power was gone, and my computer powered down and startedto power up. It was obviously ready to update, I had seen this happen before, usually it gave me warning first. This time was different as the screen came up, it said re-birthing. My eyes were not totally focused as tears still lingered from earlier. As I grabbed my phone to take a picture, my phone powered down and was restarting as well. I could not believe the timing. The surge of power was obvious as the energy encircled me. At this point my computer was updating, more slowly than I had ever seen in the past. I looked down at my phone and saw a white feather on the screen on the opening picture. I do not ever remember seeing this before. It was magic. I thought if only I could take a screenshot to show others so they would be able to see what I saw it would make this real.

It was real and what I saw was meant only for me. I remember feeling calm as warm light enveloped me. I realized in that moment this was it. This was my moment on the big stage. It was bigger and brighter than I ever thought possible. It was the stage of life. It was mine and I was finally ready to soar.

The weight that lifted from my body in that moment was the weight of self-doubt, insecurity, unworthiness, and feelings of not being good enough.

Only I can keep me weighted down… only I can stop me from being all that I can be… No longer do I choose to be stuck, it is my time to soar and it is up to me to decide what that looks like. I have helped many women break through the stories keeping them stuck, but this is the first time someone has truly done for me what I do for others in a completely different way. As I witnessed Dr. Irena on my phone this time, seeing the satisfaction of a job well done, I knew I was truly blessed to do the work I get to do in the world.

It is my time to soar and empower others to do the same.

I believe that 2021 is your time to shine… your time to soar. I would love to jump on a complimentary 60 min call with you to help you find what is holding you back, what is keeping you stuck. Book a call today.
