RISE, A Modern Guide for the Purpose Driven Woman Summer 2014 | Page 53

CH: These are the steps that work for me:
Awareness of what is/ground – take some time to understand what really is happening vs. the fear that surrounds
the problem.Yoga and meditation taught me to pause to
respond instead of reacting. (still happens some but for
sure not as much)Cry if needed – give yourself a minute
to release the fear. Change the energy!
Breathe – take a moment to reconnect with your breath
and find your solid ground. This is the moment of stability
that you build on.
Listen – What is the choice? What are my options? Be
present with what’s happening.
Sometimes this all happens very fast and the key is awareness and grounding for me - then I can trust.
JB: Raising children is today’s world is a challenging
experience.You have the ability to change one thing in
the world that would benefit people everywhere.What
do you change?
CH: Everyone learns and practices daily meditation!
In Buddhism they teach what they call “right choice”. This
philosophy teaches us to understand what is happening on
the inside so that we can deal with it appropriately, rather
than pushing it outward, blaming others or sending our
junk into our relationships. True change and true transformation comes from the inside out. We live our life from
the inside out. We live in our truth.
JB: Who is your greatest role model, and if you were
interviewing them right now, what would be your
most pressing question?
Oprah – Did you know what this path was going to bring
for you and when do you feel was your biggest breakthrough personally in your life?
JB: You have had great success and you know what it
means to struggle. Based on your experience to this
point in life, what is your definition of success?
CH: Radiant Success is being yourself, doing what you
love with those you love. It’s living your life from the
inside out knowing you’re being guided by God or the
universe to live the greatness in you and share it in all
of your creations. When you connect with the radiance
within and live it, you are living happiness.

I believe that if people hide behind their excuses and their
limiting beliefs this blocks their success and will impact
everything. If you are living from “should’s” and not from
the truth in your soul, you won’t have a breakthrough. If
you are living only on strategies and not deeply connected
to your soul, you will not have the fulfillment of true radiant success.You must have what I call Soul Meets Strategy
for your deepest connections, biggest breakthroughs and
greatest success in your life. Truly you cannot grow your
business, relationships or anything if you don’t grow yourself too.
JB: Are you a routine girl or a fly-by-the-seat-of-yourpants girl? What does a day in your life look like and
how does it differ now from 10 years ago?
CH: Routine for sure although I crave and thrive on adventure and fly by the seat of your pants sometime. I want to
go to the airport and pick a flight and go.

and with seasons as I shift in my life and business too.
