Hello wondrous Souls,

Today I am talking about being ready, willing and available to do the inner work that supports your purpose.

After more than 30 years of running retreats, workshops, programs, and coaching, I’ve come to a simple but true conclusion: You can give people all the tools, frameworks, and wisdom in the world—meditation, self-development practices, archetypal work, or past-life integration—but unless they are ready, willing, and available to do the work on themselves, nothing truly changes.

There’s a common misconception that transformation happens to us. And if we just attend the right seminar, read the right book, or follow the right guru, some magical shift will occur. But here’s the truth: transformation isn’t external. It’s an inside job. You are the alchemist of your own evolution, and the real work begins when you decide to take responsibility for your growth—not just for a weekend retreat, but in the everyday moments of your life.

Being Ready, Willing, and Available

These three words are not just a mindset; they are a commitment.

• Ready means you recognize that something in your life needs to change. You’ve reached a threshold where the old patterns no longer serve you, and you’re open to new ways of being.
• Willing means you’re prepared to take action. You’re not waiting for someone else to fix things; you understand that deep transformation requires effort, consistency, and courage.
• Available means you are creating the space—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—to allow the work to take root. Without availability, even the best wisdom will fall on barren soil.

So often, I’ve seen people attend workshops, have a breakthrough moment, and then return to their lives without integrating what they’ve learned. They leave with inspiration but no real commitment to apply the wisdom daily. The truth is, if you’re not truly ready, willing, and available, you’re just going through the motions. You’re spending time, money, and energy, but not making a real investment in yourself.

Transformation Is a Practice, Not a Performance

Doing inner work isn’t about collecting experiences—it’s about embodying change. It’s not enough to know something intellectually; you must live it. That means showing up for yourself every day, even when it’s uncomfortable. Especially when it’s uncomfortable.

No one can do the work for you. Not a teacher, not a guide, not a healer. They can provide the map, but you must take the journey. And that journey starts with one powerful decision: to be ready, willing, and available for your own evolution.

So, ask yourself—are you truly ready? Or are you just hoping for an easy way out?

Because when you step up with full commitment, that’s when the real magic happens. And it’s not outside of you—it’s been within you all along.
