The Power in Finding Your Peace.

 

The biggest challenge we face in life staying out of our own way. It is an inherent part of being human to be our own worst enemy. Whether it stems from DNA, core belief systems, cultural conditioning, or past experiences we all have patterns and self limiting beliefs that hold us back from reaching our highest potential and aligning with who we truly are.

As a life coach and spiritual guide, I work with people who are high achievers in the material world, but feel like deep down something is missing. As high achievers with high expectations we sometimes get so focused on the linear progression of life - the next promotion, the next raise, the next job, the next relationship, marriage, kids, etc that we lose sight of the big picture and the creative possibilities that can reshape our lives from one of effort and burden to one of flow, love, and true abundance. At times we may sense or even see those possibilities, but don't give ourselves permission to pursue them. Or perhaps we are too paralyzed by fear, complacency, or comfort to move off the path our society, family, and friends convince us we “should” be on. Those patterns combined with the physiological impact of stress can fuel underlying feelings of being unfulfilled, stuck, or not good enough no matter how good our life looks on the outside. By examining the patterns that keep us trapped in the matrix and bringing awareness to who we truly are, we can shift into a new way of being that allows for love, joy, gratitude, and abundance.

ABOUT ME.

My name is Jamie, also known as Queen Mama, and I am a reformed perfectionist, who has found my peace and my truth. Growing up, I always lived up to the high expectations that were set for me - I graduated at the top of my class, excelled in sports, went to an elite college, got a high profile job on Wall St. I found myself in places wondering how I got there, went on amazing vacations, ate at the best restaurants, and was pretty much living the life. But in rare quiet moments, a sense of unfulfillment would creep in. I kept myself so busy that I was mostly able to ignore that feeling that was buried deep in my gut and even when it did bubble to the surface, I rationalized it with my lifestyle and income. I was always interested as to whether other people felt satisfied and fulfilled and found that people easily opened up to me about what was going on in their lives. I discovered that many of my friends, colleagues, and clients - some of the outwardly most successful people on the planet were among the most unhappy and that they many told a similar story.

It was during kundalini yoga teacher training that everything began to open up for me and I was able to begin the process of finding my peace. The yoga and mindfulness practices ignited a deep opening and transformation and I began to see everything differently. Others noticed the difference in me too - I was lighter, happier, more magnetic. I began to think about leaving my career so that I could pursue my passion of relating this magic to others. But I was stuck. How could I give up the security of the lifestyle I had become so accustomed to and strike out on my own, with only myself to offer? The "ah-hah" moment came when one day at work I started asking my co-workers a hypothetical question - "if the CEO had committed a crime and asked you to take the fall (6 months in a white collar prison) how much money would it take for you to do it?" I was blown away by the most common answer - "not very much...it would actually be kind of nice to have a break from my life". I asked my yoga and “spiritual” friends the same question. There was only one answer - "there is no amount of money that would make me consider doing that". The wisdom in those responses helped me appreciate how necessary this work is, so I took a leap of faith to commit my life to being in service and to embody the gifts and wisdom that are my mission to share.

As I committed deeper on this path, I discovered I could quickly and deeply relate and connect to my clients. That I have a gift in illuminating my client’s “deeper truth”, even when they haven’t yet fully experienced it or stepped into it themselves. I also began receiving downloads about universal consciousness and wisdom. Those I will share here on my website and in the form of online courses. The deepest downloads I received so far are in the Divine Feminine and how to heal and come into connection with that aspect of ourselves. This is an essential relationship for us all to establish within ourselves, as this healing is needed on an individual and collective level to help transition into the next phase of humanity’s evolution.

None of this work requires you to make any changes to the external components of your life (work, relationships, hobbies, where you live, etc) though that may be something you decide you want to do as you come into deeper understanding and relationship with yourself. What it is about is changing how you perceive and experience everything in your life by changing the way you perceive and experience yourself. 

PREvious PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Haverford College and my MBA from the Fox School of Business. My professional experience includes:

  • Stock Trader/Financial Analyst

  • Medical Device Sales

  • Marketing Strategy Consulting

  • M&A Strategy

  • Small Business Consulting

For the first 5+ years after undergrad, I was a Equity Trader and Analyst for Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities. When he turned out to be one of the biggest financial criminals in modern history, my life was turned upside down and I was forced to confront re-creating my life with no possibility of returning to the one thing I knew. It was like the rug was pulled out from under me without warning. I only knew one career, I was accustomed to a lifestyle with a comfortable paycheck, and I didn’t have the slightest idea where to begin. While it was incredibly difficult to navigate at the time, it was the pivotal moment that set me on my journey to aligning with discovering who I really am and what I am here to do. Not only that, it also uniquely prepared me for this time to help people with adjusting for a world that is forever changed due to the Pandemic. I get what you’re going through! I just have a 12 year head start. While 2020 may be the hardest time in your life, there is such an opportunity (and yes beauty!) in the suffering and struggle, when you learn to allow, accept, and embrace. Don’t let this moment pass you by!
