A story of synchronicity, magical living, and quantum leaps (Part 1)

In March of 2021, I quantum leaped into a reality where I received $48,777 USD within 27 days. 😮

At the exact same time, I quantum leaped into a career where I was receiving this kind of money while:

🙌🏼 working just 4-6 hours a week,

✈️ traveling the world,

💗 and spending the majority of my time exploring, enjoying, connecting with friends, and making sweet, sweet love. 🤯

I get the question a lot "can you tell me about your own quantum leaps?" Well, it's quite the story. In this blog post I’m going to share with you how it all began.👇🏼 

First of all, I used to only dream of this kind of a lifestyle filled with financial freedom, time freedom, travel, fun, adventure, and love.

Actually, I don't even think I dreamt of it! It was simple an impossible outcome kind-of-thought for the majority of my life.

All I knew was what it felt like to have just enough money to pay the bills and barely get by.

I felt frustrated, broke, stuck and trapped.

I resented having to always ask my bank account for permission to live my dreams…

Money was always limiting where I chose to live, what I chose to eat, what I was able to do with friends…

Life always felt limited and restricted. Like I was stuck living within a small box, when deep down I knew I wanted to live wild and free.

But it was also all I knew for a long time.

I thought it was “just life” to receive “just enough” money to get by.

When I began to learn about online coaching, my eyes opened to another way of living, being, working and receiving…

A way of working that allowed me to live wherever I want, work whenever I want, and receive as much $$$ as I want…

The coach that I first learned about online coaching from (on a podcast) went from being homeless to a millionaire in less than two years.

He described all of these coaches he taught who were making 10K, 20K, 50K, 300K cash MONTHS in their business. 🤯

In that moment every cell in my body knew that if he could do it, I could do it too. So, I hired him.

I devoted all of my time, energy, and resources to build a profitable online coaching business.

I had two options for the 3-month investment. I could pay $6,000 in full, or I could pay $10,000 with a monthly payment plan. Well, I definitely did not have $6K sitting in my bank account at the time, so I took out a loan feeling full confidence and excitement that I would receive a return in my investment.

I didn’t know, however, that I would make $4,500 back within the first month of my investment! 😮

I had just turned 24 and was half a year fresh out of graduating with my masters. I had spent 18 years of my life in school. My only "real life job," aside from working at a few restaurants over the years, was spending the prior 7 months working as a part-time dog walker and part-time personal trainer. I was paid about $20 for a 30-minute client session. I had maybe 10 sessions a week. Then, I'd go spend a few hours walking dogs for another $20 for 30-minutes walks.

I've always had an entrepreneur mindset. Even working as a waitress at restaurants, I could influence and expand my income by making tips. I refused to work for a set-salary. And as a personal trainer and dog-walker, there wasn't set number of hours I could work (aside from the number of hours in a day), so I felt like I could always make more if I wanted to. However, at the time, I thought making $20 for 30-minutes was a lot! Ha. I had never received more than $1,500 in one month.

So it's safe to say that when I invested $6,000, and then received $4,500 back within one month by applying what I learned, I was mind blown.

I was excited!

"This is it! This is going to be my new reality! My new income! My new LIFE!"

I realized the power of setting a clear, positive intention.

Within 3 months, I had made my full investment back.

However, regardless of how exciting it was to receive more money, within 4 months of applying what this coaching program was teaching me, I burnt the f*ck out.

I fell wayyyy too far into what some people call “the wounded masculine energy." It's the part of us that hustles from a place of lack and desperation, rather than taking action from a deeply grounded and abundant energy.

I was overworking, quite literally addicted to work, and I was being told that I needed to spend hours each day cold-messaging strangers on the internet to try to get them to purchase my coaching offers. For some reason, deep in my core, this felt 100% wrong to me. But, of course, when I didn't do it, I was left feeling guilty at the end because I wasn't doing what I was instructed to do by my coach.

I was told "if you're not getting the results you want, you're not working hard enough." Do more, want more, work harder.

I want to paint a picture for you to truly understand how much time I spent "working" on my computer.

My eyes were shaking and seizing from staring at the screen for so many hours — and that didn’t stop me! I just put on blue-light blocking glasses hoping it would fix the problem. 🙈

My lower back hurt sooo much that I had to start getting chiropractic care and the chiropractor told me that I was sitting for too many hours each day. I had to order a special product that strapped around my lower back and my knees to keep my spine in a 'correct and upright position' while sitting at my desk. 😳

One day, I woke up with the most painful kink in my neck. If I were to even try to move my neck slightly to the left I was in excruciating pain. I had my roommate drive me to the closest chiropractor and the moment he touched me all I could do was collapse and sob into his arms. This cry was much more than a cry due to physical pain. The chiropractor reminded me of a kind and loving fatherly energy. When he touched my shoulders, I felt safe for the first time in a long time. I felt like I could finally release all of the internal pressure, and actually allow myself to fully relax and let go. He prescribed me some much needed bed rest. My body had finally taken over and forced me to slow down.

Beyond the physical pain, my mental health and social life took a plunge into the toilet as well.

I stopped being social and dating. I was living in Georgia with two of my closest friends, and when they'd invite me out I unconsciously used “needing to work” as an excuse to avoiding a deeper underlying social anxiety (which I will tell you more about very soon).

When I went on vacation to a lake house with a group of friends from college, I felt intense anxiety about being away from work. I couldn’t stop thinking that "I should be working" instead.

But the funny/weird thing is, I say I was “working so hard,” yet the tangible outcomes were crap:

The momentum dwindled and the "work" I was doing was marketing my coaching all day long online (at that time I was working as a fitness and self-love coach), however, I was now earning between $1,000-$2,000 a month, burnt out, stressed out…you get the picture. 💩

Looking back, it's no surprise to me that I wasn't growing my business or signing up clients with ease. I wasn't taking care of myself and embodying what I was trying to help others with. Why would the universe send me a client to support when I'm not living what I'm teaching and preaching? The integrity and energetics were way off.

After these 4 months, I followed my intuition and completely stopped taking advice from the coaching company that I originally hired.

I was afraid to let go. I had looked up to them, and they were a widely known and successful company.

However, I intuitively sensed that hard work alone couldn't be the only way to become financially free. And if it somehow was the only way, then I want any part of it. Because the cost was definitely, definitely, not worth it to me.

I realized that if I were to continue pushing for success by putting in more effort, more hard work, and more time staring at screens, and I somehow successfully manufactured a thriving coaching business...

Well, I'd be royally screwed. My life, my health, my family, and my relationships would all suffer greatly.

I believe this "failure" was the Universe protecting me. If I received evidence that overworking and burning out equals success, then I'd feel like I'd have to keep up the momentum forever.

As the Universe would have it, around the exact same time that I began burning out, a new friend of mine sent me a video about manifestation and Law of Attraction.

I was amazed!! "Wait, there's a way to make my life easier and create my dreams by changing my thoughts and feelings?!?" Sign me up. I began to deep dive into learning all the things about manifestation and the quantum field.

I began to practice visualizing what it would look and feel like to have a successful coaching business.

And the results...well, let's just say shifting my energy before taking action in the physical world helped A LOT.

I had found a coach that taught about energy work and inner healing, and was led to sign up for her 10-month Life Coaching Certification, and a week later I felt guided to sign up for her 6-month Breathwork Facilitator Certification. The combined investment was a total of $18,000...I broke them down into smaller monthly payments of $1,500. I had to leap and trust that I would be financially supported again. This investment expanded my prosperity consciousness. "What if I were to make 10x that, or even more, from the skills that I develop within the next 10 months?"

As I trusted and continued with my manifestation practices, I began to attract more clients, and creative ideas from the universe were flowing. I was receiving $4,000-$6,000 a month. This felt really, really good!

In February of 2020, I wanted to amplify things. I tuned into more abundance and success and I experienced my first ever $12,000 launch. This is the first quantum leap that I remember consciously making (I teach my exact process within the Quantum Shift online course).

I thought "well, I know what it feels like to make $6,000 in a month, so what if I doubled it and collapse the time around it?" I began to play in the energy and it worked.

With some of this money I hired a high-level energy healer, named Andrew, that I had been dreaming about working with.

The investment cost thousands of dollars (yes, multiple thousands a month), but I knew in my heart and soul and every ounce of my being that it would be so worth it, and that I'd receive a return in my investment...and it so was, and I so did.

With his guidance and support, I was able to soothe my nervous system, heal traumas, and energetically plug-into the universe and quantum field in a deeper way than ever before.

What happened next can only be described as magical living...

Our sessions were so interesting because we'd barely speak. I thought we'd talk a lot and he'd give me coaching and advice, but instead, we'd spend most of the hour sitting in silence as he'd guide me to bring my awareness to different parts of my body where energy was stuck and bound, blocking the flow within my body, therefore blocking the flow within my life.

I left each session feeling 'more like me.' Relaxed, calm, present, eased, abundant, free.

From there, clients were magically flowing to me, money was magically flowing. It was unbelievable! 

Very quickly I began to experience receiving between $8,500-$10,000 cash a month, for 6 consecutive months. My 1:1 client roster was sold-out. I was financially flowing, baby. It felt amazing.

I was able to buy myself a brand new car (I had been living without a car for a year).

I was able to spend hundreds of dollars on naturopathic doctors and supplements (I was trying to heal my gut and hormonal acne).

I was able to ball out at the grocery store, and I still had so much leftover! It was incredible.

This work with Andrew gave me further evidence that it's not about how hard I work, but rather, how energetically aligned I am that draws good things into my life, and positively impacts my work and my finances.

I'm going to repeat that again, in a different way, to really let it land. Working harder did not bring me more money and clients. It was the simple, yet profoundly powerful act of slowing down, prioritizing aligning my energy, my thoughts, and my feelings, and unbinding the energetic blocks within my body, is what brought me more money and clients. Talk about magical living.

I received direct, mind-blowing evidence that as I did less, I somehow did more.

As I slowed down, I sped up.

So, I was experiencing more financial freedom and success in my work than ever before.

In fact, it was more than what a large majority of the world dreams of (did you know that 47% of the world lives on less than $205 a month?).

I had a career that I absolutely loved, the money to do what I want (for the most part), when I want, without having to worry.

But at the end of the day, I realized something MAJOR was missing.

From Monday-Friday, from about 8am - 6pm I'd be either doing my energy practices or working. I loved both activities so much. I felt fulfilled, free, purposeful, grateful. My clients were getting incredible results and I was having so much fun.

But then, when it would become dinner time, I’d feel lonely, sad, and bored.

I was new to living in Portland, Oregon. This was a big deal for me, as I grew up on the east coast of the United States and always dreamt of making the leap to the west coast.

Manifesting my 3 incredible roommates and our extra dreamy, cozy home was divine synchronicities and magical living in and of itself. However, my roommates had been living in Portland for years longer than me. I was a new born baby to the city, and they had full lives with their own friends, partners, and on-site jobs.

Naturally, they spent most evenings either at work or out connecting with their people.

And for me, well, instead of following my intuition that was asking me to put myself out there, make some friends of my own, or go out and date, I’d spend most evenings numbing my deep desire for connection, love and joy through burying my head in a self-development book, scrolling on social media, binge watching tv shows, or doing even more meditations (however, this kind of meditation was me spiritual bypassing).

You may be wondering, “Alesha, why didn’t you just go out and make some friends? Or go on a dating app?”

The answer is simple. I had extreme social anxiety. I was living in a new city, and I was afraid. I was afraid of putting myself out there, I was afraid of being rejected, I was afraid of being judged, I was all around, in every direction…afraid.

After some time, living in fear became more and more uncomfortable.

At first it felt like a simple, harmless distraction. "Yeah, I know I want to hang out with people right now, but no one's home, and I worked all day, and I don't want to make the effort. It's so much easier and more relaxing to just watch some tv tonight."

But as the weeks, or months, passed by, I began to grow intolerant to feeling lonely. I became aware that I was numbing out my desire for connection through work, screens, and convincing myself that "I actually, probably, just need to meditate tonight."

It was clear that financial success wasn’t enough to make me truly happy.

I was missing something extremely important to a truly successful life: pleasure, joy, love, and connection.

I knew that I was choosing this reality. And if I was choosing it, then I could make a different choice. Just as I did with my career and money.

I felt stuck only because I kept choosing the same vibrational frequency. I was letting the patterns of yesterday create my today. In the areas love, fun and friendship, I was letting life happen to me, rather than being an active co-creator.

If I wanted to experience a different reality, then all I needed to do was choose to think, feel, and embody different vibrational frequencies.

I began to wonder…”well, if I quantum leaped into a career where I have sold-out client offers and I’m earning an income that many people dream of, could I also quantum leap into a version of myself that was in-love with my social life, had deeply fulfilling connections, and was no longer experiencing intense social anxiety?”

Well, I’m going to give you a hint.

The answer was yes! Okay, I gave you the answer, not just a hint. But I feel you may have already guessed the answer. Even juicier magic lies in part 2, where I will reveal my journey to quantum leaping into a social, confident, fulfilled version of myself that is surrounded by incredible friends and community.
