[00:00:00] Well, hello there and welcome back to the Purpose Map podcast. This is Casey Bergland, your host and the founder of Worthy and Well, and I am just so delighted today to help you learn how to make your wins inevitable, or in other words, your next level of success inevitable. , but before I go there, a bit of a.
Invitation. Now, I know that you're a smart, ambitious, spiritually curious human who is driven by growth. You are a leader. You want more expansion. You want to continue to learn about yourself and grow personally and professionally. You're probably someone who wants to help other people grow as well.
Maybe others come to you for your wisdom, for your feedback. You might do that professionally or even just in your personal life. I know that you're that type of person because you're [00:01:00] here and you're listening to this podcast. So here's what I know about people like you and I. Sometimes we can, um, have a bit of an unbridled ambition and forget to celebrate the success that we already have.
So before I go into sharing how to make your wins inevitable and how to make your next level of success inevitable, can we actually just pause for a moment and have gratitude and celebrate the things that you've created and the various elements that you have, the health that you have, the relationships that you have, the money that you have, the alignment with your work that you already have.
Can we just pause for a moment to celebrate what you already know about who you are and what you're here for? Yes. I know you have questions in at least one of those areas. I'm sure. I know that you're [00:02:00] probably driven for your next level of success and at least one of those areas, and I invite you to actually ground into how you already have success.
Let's not forget the power of gratitude and being in the abundance mindset and enjoying the journey and the process, and not just constantly seeking for the sake of seeking. Okay, I felt like that really needed to come through right outta the gates. I'm cheering for you. Cheers, celebrating your win. In this episode, I am gonna share with you how to make your next level of success inevitable.
More specifically, I'm gonna pull back the curtain on a couple of tools that I use behind the scenes with every single one of my clients, and it really helps them to see and [00:03:00] experience how the different areas of life are so integrated and interconnect. , and also it helps them to understand and feel into the role of embodiment.
Embodiment is one of the core pillars in the Let Your Body Lead Method. It's one of four core pillars. It's the one that we're gonna focus on in this episode. Often when I say embodiment, people are, Hmm, curious about it, like it's a little bit elusive still. And so it's my hope that by sharing the different pieces of what I'm sharing in this episode, The pathway of embodiment and the impact of embodiment becomes clear, especially the impact of embodiment for your next level of success.
First off, it's important that you really feel invited to define success for yourself. I'm not here to promote this sort [00:04:00] of, Story that you should constantly be striving or hustling or seeking this next level. I don't believe that at all. I actually think that you get to define success and your definition of success.
I hope what I wanna hold for you brings you the inner fulfillment and the alignment that you desire and deserve. And in many ways, you probably already have. So, Embodiment for your next level of success. What I'm really talking about here is helping you to stop chasing other people's version of success and ground into what's yours, what actually will help you to create the inner fulfillment in the alignment that you're seeking.
So, The title of this podcast is The Purpose Map Podcast. Now, the purpose map, those that is actually a framework, um, that [00:05:00] inspired the name of this podcast. It's a framework where I show in a visual format the way in which I see that health, wealth, relationships, and connection to deeper purpose. Talk to one another, the way that they're integrated in our lives.
If you'd like to see an image of the purpose map, if that would help you, if you're a visual person like I am, we have one posted in on our Instagram page at Worthy and well, and I'll link to that post in the show notes below. But if you can listen to my voice, here's how you can visualize it. Imagine health, wealth, relationships forming a triangle.
So health at the top, relationships at one corner of the triangle, wealth at the other corner of the triangle. These are the three areas that I see people setting goals in. You know, When I talk to folks about what they want in their lives or what their next level of success means to them, they usually [00:06:00] say something that's connected to one of those three areas.
They usually want some sort of health outcome or shift in their body and wellness, or they're looking for some sort of shift in their work, their wealth, their capacity to earn money, or they're wanting some depth in their relationships, deeper connection. Often it's one of those three categor. Now, of course, they're all connected.
So there's lines that connect each of those areas. And what I realized when the purpose map came to me is that the part that's missing is. Purpose right in the middle. When I say purpose, I'm talking about like a sense of who you are and what you're here for. It's almost like there's this spiritual exploration that needs to take place in order to make goal setting aligned in order for you to get what you're really desiring and in order for you to have and have gratitude for the things that are for you on your aligned.[00:07:00]
So purpose is right in the center of the purpose map, and it drives the way that we create aligned success in health, wealth, or relationships. Now, what I also know to be true, and what you probably know as well is that when you're experiencing some constriction, contraction, disharmony, challenge in any one of the three areas, health, wealth, relationships, I don't know, say a breakup or a job loss or a health issue, often.
Issue or challenge awakens you to a stronger connection to who you are and what you're here for. So in many ways, there's, through the process of living life and experiencing both pleasure and pain, we get to learn about ourselves and what we're here for. So anyway, the purpose map guides a lot of my work, and I know I'm just describing it verbally here, but you might wanna take a peek at it on our Instagram page.
Um, to help with the understanding of what this means, what I've [00:08:00] realized is that the Let Your Body Lead Method puts the purpose map in motion and specifically embodiment as a core pillar of the Let Your Body Lead Method. Helps to kick off that process. So in other words, embodiment helps you to change your state so that you can receive drops of insight that feel so magical and feel like they come out of nowhere, that help you to know who you are and what you're here for, what you really want.
But, and also embodiment can allow you to tap into any discomfort that you feel in the body connected to a challenge in health, wealth, and relationships. And that too has wisdom for you that can help to guide your next steps. So embodiment is a core pillar of the Let Your Body Lead Method and the Let Your Body Lead Method really helps to put the purpose map in motion so that you can achieve your next level of success in a way that is aligned for you.
Okay, I'm gonna give you some examples in motion through telling the stories [00:09:00] of five of my amazing clients. Now, these are actual client stories and I have changed their first names for the sake of their privacy. So in a moment you're gonna meet Nadia, Sarah, joy, Tyra, and Todd. . Okay. Now each of them has an amazing story and I'm gonna share with you like what they were experiencing when I first met them and how embodiment specifically, you know, the whole Let Your Body Lead Method, but how embodiment specifically helped them to create different results.
In other words, to help them to step into their next level of success in alignment with what that meant for them. Okay, so here we go. I'd like to introduce you to Nadia. Now, I would say Nadia was most interested in her next level of success in the area of health. When I first met her, she was navigating some ups and downs of living in a larger body, and also having [00:10:00] been recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
And after years of a push-pull relationship with various wellness practices, her Desi desire to experience health in a way that was aligned with her truth was really awakened by her diagnosis. Maybe you can relate to this. Have you ever had a health issue that opened your eyes to needing a new way or wanting or desiring a new way of experiencing health and wellness?
Nadia no longer wanted to listen to the messages from a toxic culture about what she should be doing and why her body was wrong. She wanted to be kinder to herself and honor her body's needs, especially as those needs changed depending on her symptoms. But honestly, she didn't really know where to start.
So that's how Nadia came into my world. She was wanting these outcomes in health. Maybe this is you right now. Or maybe you're more like Sarah. [00:11:00] Sarah was wanting her next level of success in the area of wealth. She. Is a gifted healer and body worker, but when we met, she was kind of hiding out and not making enough money doing her purpose-driven work.
She worked in a hospital setting as a physical therapist specializing in neurology. Yeah, she was a smart cookie. She is a smart cookie, but was also fascinated by and deepening her skills in supporting healing through myofascial. She had a dream of integrating all of her wisdom and skills and her unique energy to help people experience their own innate healing abilities in a community setting.
But she didn't really know where to begin with making money, and she desperately wanted out of the hospital system. Maybe that's you, . I don't know about you, but I've worked with quite a few people who are in a job or in a corporate space and they're really desiring to do more purposeful work in an entrepreneurial capacity and like learning how to make [00:12:00] money in that way.
Okay, so that's Sarah. Joy, kind of similar to Sarah, but working in a corporate space, and unlike Sarah who like wanted out of her job to start a business, joy is someone who absolutely. Loved her job when I first met her and still does. So she was really excited about growing her next level of wealth, which for her meant growing within her corporate company.
Um, once we started working together and help, and once I started helping her use the practice of embodiment and, and other tools in the Let Your Body Lead Method. Basically things shifted for her. But what we realized through that process is that personal matters began to pull her, pull her focus, you know?
Joy is a whole human being just like you. And you know, I, I originally started by talking about the purpose map because I really wanted to share with you, of course, there's this connection between health, wealth, relationships, and [00:13:00] deeper purpose. So Joy felt this firsthand. It was like she wanted to create outcomes in wealth, but relationships were asking for her attention.
And some of the insecurity that she was navigating and indecision around her relationships was creating this insecurity and indecision in her work as well. She simply couldn't discern her own truth amidst the noise. She was changing her mind all the time, going back and forth and feeling really anxious about her next steps.
So, so far you've met Nadia who was navigating ups and downs around her health and her new diagnosis. You've met Sarah, a gifted healer and body worker who wanted out of the hospital setting and to integrate her gifts. In creating her own business and creating more wealth through her business. And you've also met Joy who was exciting, excited about growing to her next level of wealth as well, but in a corporate [00:14:00] space and who was getting a bit distracted by insecurities in relationships.
I'd also like you to meet Tyra. I actually met Tyra very young, like as a kid, and then she came back into my world years later. We worked together when I was a dietician, and then she later asked if I would support her as she navigated some relationship issues. So, At the time that we worked together on relationships, she had already developed some more confidence and empowerment.
But she revealed to me that she'd really loved to attract a partner, even though she was nervous about dating in her forties. She had actually never dated, she also lived in a foreign country and was kind of like, am I too late to the game? And like, how do I navigate this new online dating world and how do I get past these body insecurities that might pop [00:15:00] up in this new context?
Was it even possible to find and connect with someone who was authentic, kind and shared similar values? Maybe you can relate to some of the questions that Tyra was asking when we first met. So her next level of success had everything to do with love and relationships. And then there's Todd. When I first met Todd, he was in a totally um, different space.
You know, he was awakening to a truth that maybe all of his life choices as an adult were guided by other people's shoulds. When we met, he was experiencing a form of. Like situational depression. It felt like almost like existential crisis SY symptoms. So he was really looking for his next level as it related to purpose.
He was asking questions like, who am I really, and what do I actually want, and how am I actually called to contribute? He was kind of tired of his job in real estate, feeling sluggish in his body [00:16:00] and disconnected in his relationships, wondering what he should do next. So Tyra looking for love in her forties.
Todd looking for deeper purpose and connection to who he was and what he was really here for. All right, so maybe you resonated with one of these five characters. Did you resonate with Nadia's story? Where she was looking to uplevel her own experience of health and her body. Did you resonate with Sarah looking to leave her job in the hospital to do her integrated work through entrepreneurship?
Did you re resonate with Joy, who worked in a corporate space as a corporate leader, but who wanted to elevate her wealth and then got sidetracked by some insecurities in her relationships? Maybe resonated with Tyra, who was looking for love in her forties and didn't really know if [00:17:00] she got to have what she wanted as it related to partner.
Or perhaps you're connected with Todd's story questioning on a deep level who he is, who he was, and what he really wanted to do. So I invite you to keep whatever name resonated with you in your mind. Now, let me just say this. If you resonated with any one of these clients of mine, Uh, it would make perfect sense.
You're not alone, and it also would make perfect sense if your unique situation led to you maybe even Googling for answers and hoping some expert would tell you what to do next, only to realize that that's kind of overwhelming and doesn't really work. I mean, how do you know what wisdom to trust? How to move through the challenge that you're experiencing [00:18:00] and take steps forward towards something that's aligned.
Well, what would happen if you turn to the one person you thought couldn't help you? Yep. That's you, my friend. That's you. You're the one with the answers. It's a matter of you being able to tap into your own answers so that you can create the results that you want. Your next level of success in health, wealth, relationships, or connection to deeper purpose has everything to do with you.
Developing a stronger relationship with yourself and embodiment offers a pathway for you to do that through connecting with your body's wisdom. And practicing embodiment. You can come to your own conclusions. You can step away from all the noise and distractions of the outside world and connect into your deepest, most [00:19:00] honest truth.
That's why we created the embodiment practice for your next level of success. It's a absolutely free tool that you can sign up for right after listening to this podcast that will help you to clarify your goals and define your version of success, and then we'll guide you into your body so that you can find the truth that you're looking for, and go from feeling like you're deeply questioning or stuck or uncertain to experiencing clarity and taking your next.
The link is in the show notes to sign up for that free tool. Now, would you like to know what happened with Nadia, Sarah, joy, Tyra and Todd? Let me tell you, Nadia, who was struggling with the ups and downs of living in a larger body and her new MS diagnosis, She learned to truly listen to and trust [00:20:00] her body through embodiment and act on its wisdom.
She felt freer in her relationship with food, learned to rest when her body needed it, especially as her symptoms changed and tapped in her unique gifts to serve others. And you know, when she got to learn how to trust her body as it related to health, it also opened up space in her life to think about her service to others.
In the time that I knew her, she actually took part in our Lightyear body lead facilitator training. She wrote a children's book with one of her dear friends, also became an embodied leader in her church in a way that felt authentic for her and built more rock solid confidence in making decisions, which inspired others along the way because, you know, empowerment is magnetic.
Sarah, the physical therapist, myo fascial release goddess who wanted to leave the hospital setting in favor of her own business. While through tuning [00:21:00] into her body's wisdom, she received truths about her next step. She took a courageous step outside of the box and started a business. She owned her credentials as a physical therapist and embraced that.
She quite literally had a magic to touch. . You know what? I've had Sarah's hands on me through some of the body work that she does, and it literally is magic. She started talking more openly about how powerful myofascial releases and brought more of her unique gifts to the table in her work and in the year that I got to witness and support Sarah, her revenue.
Increased by 25 to 50% each quarter in like a beautiful, aligned and embodied way. So like what a win in terms of her experiencing her next level of success in the area of wealth as an entrepreneur. Joy. The uh, client of mine who loved her corporate job, wanted to increase her wealth, but was distracted by some relational [00:22:00] insecurities.
She became a master of reconnecting with her truth through her body's wisdom. Of course, she got to know what different sensations meant for her and how they could guide decision. Joy traded in black and white thinking for a both and approach with hard situations and acknowledged the truth of nuance.
Our bodies can guide us to more nuanced truths. This freed her to experience herself differently in relationships with. Which opened up space to bring the focus back onto Work and Wealth as she had originally intended. Embodiment helped her to notice when she was acting out of her conditioning, like in her job, when she would apologize before she spoke, people please or overexplain things in an attempt to manage how others perceived her.
Maybe you can relate to that. And she began to ground into a more clear and honest ways of communicating. Because she was connected to her truth, more opportunities flowed to her in every area of her life. She was offered the [00:23:00] opportunity to spearhead a women's leadership network within her company, by her dream home, and marry her life partner.
All of that happened through the pathway of embodiment. Ty. Looking for her life partner? Well, here's what happened. The short story is that this past Christmas, I attended her wedding reception with her new and amazing husband. They were originally married in Southeast Asia during the pandemic, and finally had the opportunity to celebrate with her friends and family back home.
It was an absolute honor to see the profound love in their eyes as they renewed their vows and. . If you know me, you know that I cried , I cried tears of joy. What a gift it was to be part of their event. And also the pathway to get there. Like witnessing Tyra use her body wisdom to set boundaries in dating, to ask for certain needs to be met, to communicate clearly what was pleasurable for her, and wholeheartedly become more and more [00:24:00] magnetic like.
It was amazing to see that through watching her align with the truth that her body. And finally, Todd. Todd, who was asking those deeper questions, who am I and what am I here for? He was actually blown away by how much his body was communicating with him and developed a sense of trust, specifically guided by the expansion and contraction he felt.
He leaned into the expansion. and it eventually led to him realizing that he would too, would make an incredible coach and embodiment guide, especially for men and athletes. Yes, yes, yes. To bringing more men and non-binary people into our community. We need more people doing this type of work. He decided to enroll in the Let Your Body Lead Facilitator training to up-level his skills and also be support.
You know, integrating his core purpose into his work. So there's really exciting things to come for Todd, it's amazing to witness how each of these clients, you know, [00:25:00] hopefully you can see yourself in at least one of them, how each of them went from feeling challenged in a specific area of their lives, to feeling like free and expansive and like they were actually living in their next level of.
Embodiment was one of the key practices that got them to those outcomes. And so if you're here and you're wanting to learn how to do this, that's why we made you this tool. Your embodiment practice for your next level of success, again, is in the show notes below. It'll guide you to clarity on your definition of your next level of success, and also into your body so that you can feel the truth that your body offers and take your next.
I hope you enjoy that practice and you know, Again, bringing it back to what I know about you as a smart, ambitious, spiritually curious leader, when you do this [00:26:00] work and you deepen your relationship with your body, you heat its wisdom and you act in alignment with it. You're not just impacting yourself, you're becoming a role model for others to become more authentic and aligned.
You're showing other people that they too can have what they want. You know, it's not lost on me that by me working from Costa Rica and living here and sharing my experiences of joy in the jungle, it's not lost on me that that might impact some of you. Me being myself might also inspire you to be yourself.
So through you practicing embodiment and living in your next level of success, you become, uh, a role model, an expander, a person who inspires others, and especially if you're someone who. You know, leads either in a corporate role or through your own business, the impact that you have on others is immense.
