The One Where Mel Interviews Beth

Melissa Amos: 00:00:02

Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of

Melissa Amos: 00:00:05

soul inspired you. I am Melissa, and today

Melissa Amos: 00:00:09

we are getting to know our co host, Beth

Melissa Amos: 00:00:12

Hewitt. It is so nice to be in your company

Melissa Amos: 00:00:16

again today, Beth. Hi, Mel. I'm excited for today's

Beth Hewitt: 00:00:19

episode. I'm excited. We've mentioned over

Melissa Amos: 00:00:23

the last two episodes about how this

Melissa Amos: 00:00:27

podcast came about, and I'm really excited to get

Melissa Amos: 00:00:30

to know you a little better and to help our audience

Melissa Amos: 00:00:34

get to know you a little better, because I know you have some

Melissa Amos: 00:00:37

fascinating stories and I also know that we have

Melissa Amos: 00:00:41

some beautiful synchronicities and serendipities

Melissa Amos: 00:00:45

between us. So let's start by

Melissa Amos: 00:00:49

telling everybody a little bit about you and how

Melissa Amos: 00:00:52

you launched into your soul inspired life. So

Beth Hewitt: 00:00:56

hi, everybody, and thank you, Mel, for the introduction. So, I

Beth Hewitt: 00:01:00

currently a spiritual business performance coach, but I haven't

Beth Hewitt: 00:01:04

always been that. And it took me quite a while to actually get to that

Beth Hewitt: 00:01:07

point as well. It's difficult to pinpoint, I think, where the soul

Beth Hewitt: 00:01:10

inspired life started, but I do

Beth Hewitt: 00:01:14

know that it started when I was very little. And

Beth Hewitt: 00:01:18

there were moments and glimpses

Beth Hewitt: 00:01:22

of something lighting up inside of me as a child.

Beth Hewitt: 00:01:26

And like you, I also had

Beth Hewitt: 00:01:30

magical family and surroundings, which allowed me to really

Beth Hewitt: 00:01:34

explore that and feel comfortable being

Beth Hewitt: 00:01:37

spiritual and into all of the magical things. From a very young age,

Beth Hewitt: 00:01:41

my mum would go to spiritual circles. She

Beth Hewitt: 00:01:45

would do oracle cards, and when I was very little, she

Beth Hewitt: 00:01:48

would bop me on the nose and we would do like past lives, and she

Beth Hewitt: 00:01:51

would encourage me to talk about my past lives and things like that. And my

Beth Hewitt: 00:01:55

grandma was equally magical. And

Beth Hewitt: 00:01:59

neither my mom or my grandma practiced a particular thing. They were just very open

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:02

to it very naturally. And we would just talk for hours about just

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:05

random life philosophies and the universe and all of this.

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:09

So I feel very blessed that I had that surrounding from

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:13

a very, very, very young age. And I was able to just express

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:17

things that felt really natural to me because I know a lot of people

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:20

don't have that, or maybe they don't come into that until a lot later.

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:24

So that was it from the beginning, really. I was able to be

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:28

spiritual and explore. There was kind

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:32

of one very young memories and I don't know

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:35

my exact age, but it would have been between like nine months and twelve months

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:38

old, which seems like ludicrous, but I remember being sat

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:42

up in my nappy. I was sitting up and had a little book

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:46

like those, those hard books that you get when you're babies. And on one of

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:49

the pages, it was like a book of tiny animals,

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:53

baby animals. And one of the pages that I opened up on

Beth Hewitt: 00:02:56

was this fawn sat in the grass at the foot

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:00

of a tree. And I just remember something igniting

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:04

inside of me, which I suppose was like joy or just something like,

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:08

oh, my God. What? Like awe and wonder. And that's one of the very first

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:11

memories that I have. Wow. And so I've always felt

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:15

like the faun is my spirit animal

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:19

because it was just pure delight

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:22

as a baby seeing this picture. Then obviously life continues.

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:26

And the next kind of big moment

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:30

was, and I think I've told this story in your community before,

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:34

is around when I visualized for the very first time at four years old,

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:37

very childlike imagination,

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:41

but I was able to manifest a red, bouncy castle just

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:45

intuitively, using all the senses at four years old. And that, again,

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:49

ignited some kind of spark in my soul as to, there's something in

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:52

this. I'm not quite sure what it is, because I'm four years old,

Beth Hewitt: 00:03:56

but it feels fun. It feels nice. And that was my

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:00

introduction to visualization and manifesting at a very young age. And then

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:03

there were just things that were dotted about my childhood. So

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:07

I would listen to my mum's meditation

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:10

tapes, I would do oracle card readings to my friends. And then

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:14

when I was a teenager, I would do scripting, the written form of

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:17

visualization. I would start to script how I wanted my

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:21

life to be. And over a series of weeks, those things started

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:25

to slowly happen. So there was all these little things in my

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:28

childhood that what I think were the clues

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:32

to what I was supposed to be doing in the future. And I say that

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:35

a lot to people. The experiences that we have on our

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:39

path are big clues to what we should be doing in the future

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:43

or are things that we should bring into the work that we

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:47

do in the world, because there's a reason why we love them when we were

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:50

little. And so we need to find that joy and playfulness

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:53

again. And then, like you, Mel, I

Beth Hewitt: 00:04:57

could see when I was at school, it felt very much like I was on

Beth Hewitt: 00:05:00

a conveyor belt and that I could see that I was going to

Beth Hewitt: 00:05:03

have to get the qualifications, I was going to have to get a job and

Beth Hewitt: 00:05:06

build my career and get the mortgage and the house. And I

Beth Hewitt: 00:05:10

was like, there must be more to this. And I just. I was a very

Beth Hewitt: 00:05:14

sad child. So even though I was

Beth Hewitt: 00:05:17

surrounded by love, I still felt very sad that this

Beth Hewitt: 00:05:21

is what I was heading towards, that there must be more to life. This can't

Beth Hewitt: 00:05:25

be it. And I actually dropped out of school for about a year

Beth Hewitt: 00:05:28

because I just. It didn't make any sense to me. I started to literally

Beth Hewitt: 00:05:32

manifest being ill. And so I took myself out

Beth Hewitt: 00:05:36

of the school environment for a little while.

Beth Hewitt: 00:05:40

But in doing that, I used to watch like Oprah and doctor

Beth Hewitt: 00:05:43

Phil and stuff while I'm at home. Like, that's what I'm doing. That was my

Beth Hewitt: 00:05:47

kind of life training while I was at home, out of the classroom.

Beth Hewitt: 00:05:50

So I would say my soul inspired life. Started

Beth Hewitt: 00:05:54

very young, but it still took me a long

Beth Hewitt: 00:05:58

time. My mum used to say, you're going around the houses, why are you going

Beth Hewitt: 00:06:01

around the houses? To get to where you want to go? And I was like,

Beth Hewitt: 00:06:04

I don't know, I'm just going to try this one. And so I started ping

Beth Hewitt: 00:06:07

ponging from career to career to career, just trying to find where I fitted into

Beth Hewitt: 00:06:11

the world. So I've literally had, I would say, 25 different

Beth Hewitt: 00:06:15

career paths. I could have gone down all of these different routes

Beth Hewitt: 00:06:19

until I finally realized that the only way that I was going to be fully

Beth Hewitt: 00:06:22

happy was to follow my own

Beth Hewitt: 00:06:27

path, my own. The thing that brings me the most joy, and that's

Beth Hewitt: 00:06:30

helping other people wake up

Beth Hewitt: 00:06:34

to the fact that they don't have to be living this kind of boring

Beth Hewitt: 00:06:37

conveyor belt lifestyle. And so I feel like I had to

Beth Hewitt: 00:06:41

go through all of that to be able to

Beth Hewitt: 00:06:46

really fully understand people in all areas

Beth Hewitt: 00:06:49

of life. Because I literally worked in the, I worked in retail, I've worked in

Beth Hewitt: 00:06:53

manufacturing, I've worked in politics, events, governance, project

Beth Hewitt: 00:06:57

management. I've worked across directorates, children and young people, health,

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:01

education, safeguarding health and illness, crime and

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:05

disorder. I've literally worked across every facet of society,

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:08

which makes it really helpful when you are

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:12

helping someone pivot out of something because you can really understand the world that

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:16

they are in. And I fully believe that I've been through all of

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:19

that so that I can work

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:23

and understand more closely what people are going through and

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:26

the stresses and everything like that. But it wasn't

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:30

until I had to reach kind of anxiety and

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:33

depression and felt so incredibly stuck

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:37

in the work that I was doing. That was when things

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:41

started to change from me. I felt incredibly

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:45

stuck. For about eight years, I was stuck in a job that I really

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:48

disliked and actually the. I don't think I've ever said totally smell.

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:52

The office I used to work in was actually an old cell.

Beth Hewitt: 00:07:56

So I worked in a building called old crown court buildings and it

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:00

had a link through to the town hall across the way. So there was like

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:02

a walkway from the old cells across into the

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:06

courtroom in the town hall. And the office that I worked in was actually

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:10

a converted cell. It was all painted white, and all the cells had

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:14

been knocked through. So maybe three or four cells had been knocked through into one

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:17

big space, which was now offices. But the. The windows

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:20

were still the small cells, windows that you would have.

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:24

And so, being an empath, I would not only feel physically

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:28

stuck in the job, I felt I could physically feel the

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:32

entrapment of what people would have felt like in that space as they're going towards

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:36

their judgment, whether rightly or wrongly. And so

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:39

I was stuck there, literally, for eight years, and

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:43

I started having those thoughts, you know, like you said, you had these thoughts of

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:46

how you could get out of this situation, you know, how I could not go

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:49

to my job or something, brakes failing or whatever that was for you. I actually

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:53

remember thinking if there were some really high stone steps, and I

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:56

actually thought, if I just. I don't want to hurt myself, but if I were

Beth Hewitt: 00:08:59

just to fall down these steps, then I wouldn't have to go. And it's terrible

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:02

thinking about that, but these are the thoughts that we sometimes have. And I thought,

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:06

if I just maybe just twist my ankle or something, then I won't have to

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:08

go to work today. That's the space that I was

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:12

in. And so it took me to

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:15

really reach despair and depression

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:19

and anxiety to be removed from that space because I physically couldn't go

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:23

there anymore. I was off work with work related stress and

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:27

depression. And in that time, that's when my healing start to begin

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:30

in terms of what do I actually want to be doing with my life. Yeah.

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:34

Because I don't want to be stuck here anymore doing what I once loved, but

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:38

I don't love it anymore. And it's not lighting me up. Every conversation I would

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:41

have with someone, when you make your coffee at the. You go get your coffee

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:45

break, and every conversation I would have with that person would be, I don't want

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:47

to be here anymore. Yeah. Oh, it's bad, isn't it? Yeah, it's horrible.

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:51

I was literally dragging myself out of bed and then to the bathroom and then

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:54

into the car and then to work, and it was just not a good space

Beth Hewitt: 00:09:57

to be in. Yeah. And

Melissa Amos: 00:10:01

a lot of people feel like that, and a lot of people, I'm sure, that

Melissa Amos: 00:10:04

you speak to now, and certainly that I speak to through my

Melissa Amos: 00:10:08

clients and my communities are that they've been there, or they are

Melissa Amos: 00:10:11

they. Or they feel like they're moving into that space. And I think we, this

Melissa Amos: 00:10:15

last week is that this

Melissa Amos: 00:10:19

feeling can be this propulsion

Melissa Amos: 00:10:22

into something else. It definitely was. Listening to you

Melissa Amos: 00:10:26

speak it really. I can see that thread of, even as a

Melissa Amos: 00:10:30

child, you creating where you are now. And yeah, your

Melissa Amos: 00:10:34

mum picked up that maybe you were going around the houses, but maybe that's

Melissa Amos: 00:10:37

just. Maybe that's just where it was. And I don't think.

Melissa Amos: 00:10:41

Maybe you have another opinion, but I don't think you have to reach

Melissa Amos: 00:10:45

rock bottom. No, that's why I do the work in the world. One of the

Beth Hewitt: 00:10:48

things that I'm really passionate about is helping people not get to

Beth Hewitt: 00:10:52

that space, because the clues are always there and we've always got the means and

Beth Hewitt: 00:10:56

there's a way forward. When I hit that rock bottom, one of the things I

Beth Hewitt: 00:10:59

literally vowed, I looked at myself in the mirror and I said, I'm never going

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:02

to reach these depth again. I'm going to live essentially a soul

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:06

inspired life. I didn't say those words, but it was that kind of intention. And

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:09

I also vowed that I would help other people not have to

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:13

be in this space. Sometimes it happens, sometimes that is

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:17

the wake up call that people need, in the nice sense, but other people

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:21

don't need to do that. And I can see that and I can capture that

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:23

in people and, you know, we can help

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:27

make a pivot. So that's where it

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:30

all began for me.

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:34

But then the minute that I decided that I didn't want to be living that

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:37

life anymore, I got incredibly intentional about what it

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:41

is that I wanted to do and down to the. So when I'm writing a

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:43

cv and looking for a new career, I was very clear around who I

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:47

wanted to be working with, what kind of hours I wanted to be doing, the

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:50

kind of work I wanted to be doing in the world, and just put it

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:53

out there. And that led me then to work in the world of business

Beth Hewitt: 00:11:57

support. So I'd move out of policy and governance in the public sector,

Beth Hewitt: 00:12:01

working in the private sector, in consultancy. So it was a completely different

Beth Hewitt: 00:12:04

world. But I'd built up all of these skills in project management

Beth Hewitt: 00:12:08

previously, which I could now transfer into the world of business support.

Beth Hewitt: 00:12:12

And then for the next six years, I was running business

Beth Hewitt: 00:12:16

support programs around the country, helping businesses to

Beth Hewitt: 00:12:19

grow. And we would do masterminds and large

Beth Hewitt: 00:12:23

conferences, and we have business advisors and just supporting lots of,

Beth Hewitt: 00:12:27

lots and lots of businesses, and all the

Beth Hewitt: 00:12:31

while using visualization behind the scenes. So I

Beth Hewitt: 00:12:34

would actually visualize how many people were at the events and like hitting the

Beth Hewitt: 00:12:38

targets and conversations with the team and things like that. And I

Beth Hewitt: 00:12:42

just started to use the tools that I had and knew

Beth Hewitt: 00:12:45

from very young age and brought them into the world of

Beth Hewitt: 00:12:49

business support. Couldn't necessarily. It's not like you could sit in a boardroom meeting and

Beth Hewitt: 00:12:53

kind of go, I'm having a download. We definitely shouldn't spend 10,000 pounds on this.

Beth Hewitt: 00:12:57

You had to navigate it slightly. But on an evening or on a Sunday

Beth Hewitt: 00:13:00

evening, when I'm writing my journal, I was very intentional in

Beth Hewitt: 00:13:04

visualizing how I wanted that world to be. And every

Beth Hewitt: 00:13:08

single one of those, I managed five different programs. Every

Beth Hewitt: 00:13:11

single one of them hit the targets, and every one of them was super

Beth Hewitt: 00:13:15

successful. At the end of that, I wanted to

Beth Hewitt: 00:13:18

do that. But for spiritual businesses during that time, I was working

Beth Hewitt: 00:13:22

with manufacturers and people in retail and pre start

Beth Hewitt: 00:13:26

startups, women in business, a whole range of different areas.

Beth Hewitt: 00:13:30

But when I started my business, there wasn't

Beth Hewitt: 00:13:33

really spiritual business support. There's a lot of corporate,

Beth Hewitt: 00:13:37

government funded business support out there, but there wasn't necessarily

Beth Hewitt: 00:13:41

spiritual business support for spiritual entrepreneurs. And so

Beth Hewitt: 00:13:44

that is why I started my business, to do the work that I'd been doing

Beth Hewitt: 00:13:48

for the last six years, but with a very different audience and to

Beth Hewitt: 00:13:52

really fill the gap that I was looking for when I started

Beth Hewitt: 00:13:56

my business. So how did you take that leap from

Melissa Amos: 00:13:59

working for somebody else and that kind of safety zone that

Melissa Amos: 00:14:03

you've come in into becoming self

Melissa Amos: 00:14:06

employed? So I'm still risk

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:09

averse. When actually, when I first left the

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:13

council, when I'd hit rock bottom, I didn't have a job to go for.

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:17

It was literally, I can't do this anymore. So I did

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:20

quit my job, and I didn't speak to my partner about

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:24

it because I didn't know I was going to quit. That morning when

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:27

I did, it was just something came over me and I sent him

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:31

my notice of I'm not coming back here anymore. And that was accepted. And then

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:35

I just put the cv out into the universe and had to, it'll be

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:38

okay, we'll be able to pay the mortgage. When I did it intentionally,

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:42

when I then had been running the business support programs, and then when I decided

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:45

I wanted to run and do that for myself, it was a very different. I

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:49

was in a very different space. I was in a much more positive space, and

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:52

I was in a much more risk averse space, even though I'd done it previously

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:54

and I'd taken that leap and it worked out absolutely fine. Wanted to do

Beth Hewitt: 00:14:58

it slightly differently. This time. And so I used the

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:02

skills I already had to sidestep into self

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:06

employment. So I got a job as a

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:09

non executive director for the NHS. And so that was like

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:13

one and a half days a week, but yet it paid like a full time

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:17

wage. And that was my kind of cash flow,

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:21

enough to give me a wage that I was used to. It was a lot

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:23

less than what I'd got previously, but it was. You cut your clothes accordingly. He

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:27

paid me a wage and gave me some cash flow to start

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:31

the business up. So it was different. And I would always

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:35

encourage people to. We don't always. It doesn't have to be a massive leap of

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:38

faith where you've got no safety net. You can plan things and look at things

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:42

differently and reduce your hours or whatever works for

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:46

you, but equally you might want to go, you might want to take that leap

Beth Hewitt: 00:15:49

of faith and that might be absolutely fine too. Yeah. And I think it

Melissa Amos: 00:15:53

is. You need to feel safe in your own so that if this

Melissa Amos: 00:15:56

manifestation law of attraction thing works, as we say, it

Melissa Amos: 00:16:00

works, you need to be in that space that's going to motivate

Melissa Amos: 00:16:04

you rather than put you into panic. Yes.

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:08

Yeah, I would absolutely agree. And then the good thing is as well, I could

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:11

still use the tools to. I was visualizing getting

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:15

the non executive position. I was visualizing how long I would be in that post.

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:18

I was visualizing how I would build my business up through that, that

Beth Hewitt: 00:16:22

three year period kind of thing. So, yeah,

Melissa Amos: 00:16:26

amazing. You talk a lot about visualization and

Melissa Amos: 00:16:30

how visualization helps you. And I know through your coaching business and

Melissa Amos: 00:16:34

through a lot of the work that you do, it inspires people to visualize

Melissa Amos: 00:16:38

their creation. So what is

Melissa Amos: 00:16:42

it particularly about the visualization

Melissa Amos: 00:16:46

route or what is it that you

Melissa Amos: 00:16:49

received from your download or that you created

Melissa Amos: 00:16:53

or that you, that you worked on that made you pick that

Melissa Amos: 00:16:57

particular route to getting to where you want to

Melissa Amos: 00:17:00

be. I think it's like, did I pick it or did it pick me? I

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:04

suppose is that, I don't know where those two lines

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:08

merge kind of thing, because visualization was there for a very young

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:11

age and scripting was there from a very young age.

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:15

Scripting is a written form of visualization and you've got obviously, say, the

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:18

visualization I think, that most people think about. But

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:22

for me it's about bringing all of the senses into that visualization. I think sometimes

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:25

people think vision is just visual, but there's so

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:29

much more to it. And so that just felt,

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:33

I don't feel like there was a day when I went, oh, this is the

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:35

tool that I'm going to use. It just felt like this is the tool that

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:38

is to be used because this is the tool that has always been given to

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:41

me and I've always been guided by. So I would say that's where

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:45

that tool came from. But

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:48

I just knew. So I did my coaching qualifications a few years before I

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:52

left my job, and I knew that I wanted to do

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:55

coaching in my business as well. And so it was

Beth Hewitt: 00:17:59

a download in terms of developing a coaching kind of session

Beth Hewitt: 00:18:03

that incorporated visualization. And that's where my create your vision

Beth Hewitt: 00:18:07

intensive session was born,

Beth Hewitt: 00:18:10

which really draws in all of

Beth Hewitt: 00:18:14

the different elements of

Beth Hewitt: 00:18:17

visualization, oracle card reading,

Beth Hewitt: 00:18:20

meditation, and a little bit of scripting.

Beth Hewitt: 00:18:24

But it's a really long guided visualization that we go through that brings

Beth Hewitt: 00:18:27

in all of those senses. And so I had this idea and structure

Beth Hewitt: 00:18:31

of what that session would look like, and I just put it out

Beth Hewitt: 00:18:35

there and someone

Beth Hewitt: 00:18:38

signed up straight away. I was like, oh, my goodness, this is. Somebody actually

Beth Hewitt: 00:18:42

believes in what I'm doing. And funnily enough, it was somebody from

Beth Hewitt: 00:18:46

my corporate world who I didn't think had any

Beth Hewitt: 00:18:49

spiritual inclination or wasn't interested in that world. And all of a sudden

Beth Hewitt: 00:18:53

they're like, yeah, of course, why would I not want to be interested? We worked

Beth Hewitt: 00:18:56

really well together when we were working on this. I've always been intrigued about

Beth Hewitt: 00:19:00

how you do what you do. And they was like, now it makes total sense

Beth Hewitt: 00:19:04

because I never really understood how you were filling all of these events

Beth Hewitt: 00:19:07

up and how you're doing all this work. And so he was

Beth Hewitt: 00:19:11

one of the first people that took me up on that tool, and then

Beth Hewitt: 00:19:15

that tool has just evolved. And I've maybe

Beth Hewitt: 00:19:18

supported hundreds of people through the create your vision intensive process.

Beth Hewitt: 00:19:23

That tool in particular, it allows you to

Beth Hewitt: 00:19:26

reflect. In that session, we reflect on the past. We find

Beth Hewitt: 00:19:30

those nuggets of gold from the past. We find

Beth Hewitt: 00:19:34

your focus. We cut through all of the clutter and get to that

Beth Hewitt: 00:19:37

focus, and then we create a vision around that particular

Beth Hewitt: 00:19:41

area, and then we create an action plan. As a former

Beth Hewitt: 00:19:44

project manager, I would use action plans

Beth Hewitt: 00:19:48

all of the time, practically need to get stuff done, so that it's where the

Beth Hewitt: 00:19:51

spiritual meets the practical, and then we would create the action

Beth Hewitt: 00:19:55

plan. So people have got the tasks and the timelines for that, and then they

Beth Hewitt: 00:19:59

move into taking action and maybe

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:02

creating an affirmation or a longer form script to support them.

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:06

And so for me, everything on everything that you do, everything on

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:10

your to do list everything that we should be doing day to day should be

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:12

linked back to that vision. I find a lot of people have just got things

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:16

on the to do. List that are just on there. They're just on

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:19

the to do list that have been on there for ages. But why are they

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:21

actually on there? Is it actually leading them to where they want to go? And

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:25

so when we go through that create your vision intensive process, everything

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:29

that you have on your to do list, then moving forward is really linked

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:32

to the vision and what it is that you're trying to achieve. And you might

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:36

need to have multiple visions, you might need to have multiple different variations of things

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:40

for whatever's going on in your life. But that tool in itself

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:44

has helped so many people reconnect to

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:47

what is important to them, what they're passionate about and what they want to be

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:50

doing in the world. And then my, my role

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:54

is really just to support them, to stay on track,

Beth Hewitt: 00:20:58

to hold them accountable. But in a sense that sometimes we do fall

Beth Hewitt: 00:21:01

off track. Life has ups and downs, and sometimes we need to veer

Beth Hewitt: 00:21:05

off or take time out. And I'm there when

Beth Hewitt: 00:21:09

people are like, okay, I'm ready to come back now, and

Beth Hewitt: 00:21:12

we reconnect to the vision. And so

Beth Hewitt: 00:21:16

that's how the create your vision intensive process works and the visualization works.

Beth Hewitt: 00:21:20

But then that's backed up by the visualize and thrive business club,

Beth Hewitt: 00:21:24

which has the group coaching and the

Beth Hewitt: 00:21:27

masterminding and the visualizations and meditations

Beth Hewitt: 00:21:31

and accountability. I love all of it because,

Melissa Amos: 00:21:35

you know, I'm listening to you and I can hear how

Melissa Amos: 00:21:38

you have created this life from a very young

Melissa Amos: 00:21:42

age, that element of magic from nine months old

Melissa Amos: 00:21:45

and then four when you're like, oh my God, I've literally manifested a

Melissa Amos: 00:21:49

bouncy castle out. And then to the more

Melissa Amos: 00:21:53

struggle aspects at school with, oh, there must be more than

Melissa Amos: 00:21:56

this. There's actually a very potent question

Melissa Amos: 00:22:00

when we ask it as a question, how does it get better than this? Is

Melissa Amos: 00:22:03

this all there is? And I, and as we open up to that, you

Melissa Amos: 00:22:07

can see through your life how your visualization, being in that

Melissa Amos: 00:22:11

cell and then seeing, physically seeing that

Melissa Amos: 00:22:15

and being and feeling that surrounding and keeping you stuck

Melissa Amos: 00:22:18

in the job and leading into what you then

Melissa Amos: 00:22:22

experienced, I think it shows people just quite

Melissa Amos: 00:22:26

how powerful visualization is. And we're doing that. We're doing

Melissa Amos: 00:22:30

that all day, every day. But it sounds to

Melissa Amos: 00:22:34

me that what your superpower is really helping people get

Melissa Amos: 00:22:37

clear on what's the thread, what is it that you've

Melissa Amos: 00:22:41

been working towards? Where have we been getting distracted

Melissa Amos: 00:22:45

with the other shiny objects or not so shiny or big walls that

Melissa Amos: 00:22:49

we, that we can't climb up? And

Melissa Amos: 00:22:53

I can notice from that level this

Melissa Amos: 00:22:57

golden thread that's been running through of how you are

Melissa Amos: 00:23:00

absolutely perfectly placed in the position that you are

Melissa Amos: 00:23:04

to then, like you say, help other people. Well done,

Melissa Amos: 00:23:08

you. Thank you. It took a while to get here, but I'm here now

Beth Hewitt: 00:23:11

and I'm doing it day in, day out now. And there's nothing more dreadful

Beth Hewitt: 00:23:15

than doing that. And I'm excited to, you know, where it's heading

Beth Hewitt: 00:23:19

next kind of thing. So where is heading next, what we're. Working on

Beth Hewitt: 00:23:23

right now. So I will continue to do, I do four

Beth Hewitt: 00:23:27

gratitude and vision building events a year because gratitude is one of the

Beth Hewitt: 00:23:30

other areas that I really like to focus on. So I will be working on

Beth Hewitt: 00:23:34

those, really building that out over the next couple of years, letting

Beth Hewitt: 00:23:38

more and more people know about that journey, because it's a

Beth Hewitt: 00:23:41

30 day journey that does a lot of this reflective

Beth Hewitt: 00:23:45

work, building up these gratitude muscles and then learning to visualize

Beth Hewitt: 00:23:49

and create visions together, but in a really safe,

Beth Hewitt: 00:23:52

compassionate community. So I will be doing more

Beth Hewitt: 00:23:56

of that over the next couple of years and just really getting that out there.

Beth Hewitt: 00:23:59

And there is, I'm sure there's a book. I've

Beth Hewitt: 00:24:02

already got my power of scripting book, but I'm sure there's a book inside of

Beth Hewitt: 00:24:05

me. And I really want to get my

Beth Hewitt: 00:24:09

visualize you podcast out there into the world as well, because that was something that

Beth Hewitt: 00:24:13

I set up during the pandemic, because I

Beth Hewitt: 00:24:16

started my business like you do start the pandemic

Beth Hewitt: 00:24:21

as we do. And so one of the things that I did, because

Beth Hewitt: 00:24:24

obviously I couldn't be out there networking and all of the other things I wanted

Beth Hewitt: 00:24:28

to do was I started the podcast and it was incredibly successful and I'm

Beth Hewitt: 00:24:32

incredibly proud of it. But then it took a back burner as I

Beth Hewitt: 00:24:35

started to build the visualize and try business cloud. But I want to

Beth Hewitt: 00:24:39

really focus more on the visualize you show, because

Beth Hewitt: 00:24:43

that is a space that has the power to really

Beth Hewitt: 00:24:46

inspire lots of people to take a leap of faith on

Beth Hewitt: 00:24:50

themselves, more so than I could ever do alone, because you're listening

Beth Hewitt: 00:24:54

to the stories of people who have done that

Beth Hewitt: 00:24:58

and in lots of different sectors and in lots of different parts of the world.

Beth Hewitt: 00:25:01

And as much as I have had ridiculous amount of career pivots

Beth Hewitt: 00:25:05

in my lifetime, and I know about lots of different sectors and things like

Beth Hewitt: 00:25:09

that, there's so much to be said and

Beth Hewitt: 00:25:13

how better to do that than to listen to other people's stories. And I love

Beth Hewitt: 00:25:16

interviewing people. I literally love interviewing people and just get

Beth Hewitt: 00:25:20

into the nuggets of wisdom in their life and do more

Beth Hewitt: 00:25:24

of that. So I really want to focus on the

Beth Hewitt: 00:25:27

visualise you podcast next and just getting that out there more and

Beth Hewitt: 00:25:31

more. We will put the link to the visualize you

Melissa Amos: 00:25:35

podcast in the show notes. So if anyone wants to jump

Melissa Amos: 00:25:39

in and hear these amazing stories and learn a bit more about

Melissa Amos: 00:25:42

Beth and the amazing people in her world, then.

Melissa Amos: 00:25:46

So I want to ask you this for our

Melissa Amos: 00:25:49

listeners, what advice would you like

Melissa Amos: 00:25:53

to give them so that they can be living

Melissa Amos: 00:25:57

more soul inspired? I think it's listen to

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:01

those whispers because they're there and they're telling us.

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:05

They're telling us something. And to trust yourself

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:08

fully, know that if you

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:12

desire something and it's not here and it's

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:16

not fully manifested right now, that

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:19

it's there for you to listen to and to

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:23

play with and create a vision around that and

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:27

believe that you can make that happen

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:30

and raise, I would say, raise your expectations of what is

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:34

possible for you. We don't need to play small, even

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:38

if something feels so out of reach and

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:42

you're like, how on earth am I going to make that happen? That's so different

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:45

to how the life that I'm currently living know

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:49

that we don't need to know all of the hows right away. As long as

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:52

we're, as long as we've got that vision and we're taking action towards it, however

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:55

small that is to begin with, and we're showing the universe that

Beth Hewitt: 00:26:59

we're willing to do the work, then the universe will

Beth Hewitt: 00:27:03

meet you halfway and it'll start to open doors for you and things like that.

Beth Hewitt: 00:27:06

So if there's something that you truly want to be doing,

Beth Hewitt: 00:27:10

then follow that thread, listen to those whispers

Beth Hewitt: 00:27:14

and speak to people and network and find out and

Beth Hewitt: 00:27:18

learn and read books, whatever it is, whatever it is for you, I know that

Beth Hewitt: 00:27:21

it's been given to you to do something with. And when

Beth Hewitt: 00:27:25

you're ready to do it, just go for it. So don't be afraid to try

Beth Hewitt: 00:27:28

something new. I love that. I love

Melissa Amos: 00:27:32

that. And I think that some of. I think that last

Melissa Amos: 00:27:35

bit of advice, I'd love to dive into that a little bit

Melissa Amos: 00:27:39

more in a future episode of wedding. Something feels really

Melissa Amos: 00:27:43

big, like, what do we do so that we can keep moving in

Melissa Amos: 00:27:46

towards that. Yeah, I think that would be a really great

Melissa Amos: 00:27:50

conversation to have. I've got one more question

Melissa Amos: 00:27:53

for you okay, just because you said, go read books,

Melissa Amos: 00:27:57

what is your part from your own, which we will also

Melissa Amos: 00:28:01

put in the show notes. What's your book recommendation for our

Melissa Amos: 00:28:05

listeners to help? That's a good. Yeah, that is a good

Beth Hewitt: 00:28:09

one. Looking at my bookshelf, there's one that I like that's

Beth Hewitt: 00:28:12

got a really long title. It's called follow your passion, find your

Beth Hewitt: 00:28:16

power. Everything you need to know about the law of attraction. It's by Bob Doyle.

Beth Hewitt: 00:28:20

I don't know if you've read that one. It's a really good.

Beth Hewitt: 00:28:24

It just breaks down all of the different elements and just tells it in such

Beth Hewitt: 00:28:27

a way that makes sense. So I really love that book. And I've also got

Beth Hewitt: 00:28:30

a book called the happy Pocket Full of money, which is

Beth Hewitt: 00:28:34

a wonderful book, but it's more about abundance rather than just law of

Beth Hewitt: 00:28:38

attraction generally. So that is a really a great book to read as well.

Beth Hewitt: 00:28:41

So, yeah, those are my two recommendations.

Melissa Amos: 00:28:45

Thank you. Now you have added two more books to my book list.

Melissa Amos: 00:28:48

Thank you. Beth, it's been a pleasure to get to know you a little

Melissa Amos: 00:28:52

bit. And I want to encourage our listeners as well. We've put this

Melissa Amos: 00:28:56

on for our listeners and to help them become

Melissa Amos: 00:28:59

more soul inspired. So if any questions

Melissa Amos: 00:29:03

or realizations or comments have come up,

Melissa Amos: 00:29:07

please do get in touch with us and we would love

Melissa Amos: 00:29:10

to hear what you're thinking and to feed some of your questions

Melissa Amos: 00:29:14

into our future episodes. Beth, thank

Melissa Amos: 00:29:18

you for being here, for being you, and we

Melissa Amos: 00:29:21

will see you all next time. See you all then.
