Yes!  I’ve been guest posting as part of The Spring Tribe over at the fabulous Roots of She.  It’s quite an honor!

Here’s my post for today, “Risk Nothing, Risk it All” : http://www.rootsofshe.com/risk-nothing-risk-it-all/

Free Maybe Baby Teleclass 

With my guest,  Laura Gates of Surrendering to the Signs

Laura and I look forward to a great conversation about the Maybe Baby question through the lens of “Spirit Babies”.  Laura’s work with “Spirit Babies” can help us understand and experience an otherworldy perspective on the possibility of motherhood.  Laura is also a featured guest expert and contributor to the Maybe Baby program.

 This teleclass will explore:

At the end of the teleclass I will give you a little, tiny bit of information about the Maybe Baby course starting May 5th.  No big sales pitch!  Just hang around if you’re interested or want to learn more about Laura’s work.

Laura trained with clairvoyant Walter Makichen, author of Spirit Babies and often works with them with clients in her Soul Infusions sessions.  Laura works with healing and intuitive medicine to help uncover your soul’s purpose.   And if that weren’t enough, she is also a sought-after executive leadership coach.  Laura’s a lovely woman!  She’s humorous, kind and generous… and she knows those Spirit Babies.

The Free Sessions are taking a break!  And so am I.  

This was really fun and I got to work with nearly 50 women, many who got amazing clarity in a short session.  Keep an eye on the blog or newsletter for the announcement of their return.  

Let’s do this.

I’m offering a 20 minute session to get clear on what you need to resolve, learn, understand, etc.. in order to know your truth about motherhood, children and the who Maybe Baby question. It is one of the biggest questions of our lives and I am committed to offering a safe, insightful, non-judgmental space to explore it to discover what is right for you. You CAN be at peace with it.

The session is free. Yes m’aam.  Fill out the application below and once you’re accepted either my assistant or I will be in touch to schedule our time together.

This is a great stand alone session and it’s also a good chance to see if the Maybe Baby program, starting April 21st is a good match for you.

Here.  The video tells you more:

The feedback from my post for Stratejoy’s ABC’s of Self-Love, “H is for Honoring” has led me to create a course for you.  I believe that honoring the whispers of your heart is just about the greatest act of self-love and self-care that one can do and also acts a love bomb for those who care about you too.

Say what?

This course is for when something inside of you is trying to get your attention.  Sometimes it’s a feeling that something (a job, conversation, relationship, a choice) is off, that something is needed and desired but you’re either not sure what it is OR you’re not sure you want to take a look.  It might be a big thing or it might be a little thing.  But the whispers in your heart are like smoke in the dark, slowly burning and smoldering. Until we shine a light onto them and honor them, we don’t know their message.  We stay stagnant and stuck in the feeling of ‘somethings not right’.

Here’s the deal:  Sometimes listening is enough.  The whispers may just want you to hear something or have your attention- to check in that you’re in the right place or on the right track.  AND sometimes honoring them goes a few steps further.  But you don’t know until you listen.  In honoring the whispers, you honor your truth.  And only when you honor your truth can you be at peace with it.

We start April 3rd

If you sense your soul is trying to get your attention, it is.  Let’s find out what it has to say, what information it wants you to hear, and honor it by learning the right steps it needs and desires you to take to your peace.

Something off for you?  Whether you have an inkling or have been afraid to give voice to these whispers, I will help you.  I’m masterful at helping women unravel and honor the whispers of their heart and I’m going to help 10 women in this group class.

BETA?  What’s this all about?

This is a BETA class as this is the first time I’ve combined this format with this material.  I’ll be learning, from teaching this class, how to put together future versions of it.  The material is solid.  There just won’t be fancy emails or pdfs- I’m focusing on content, coaching, and helping you hear and understand the whispers of your heart.  That’s what matters to me this time around.  Well always, actually.

Next week.

It was next week that I was going to announce that I would be opening up Maybe Baby One on One- a personal and private, one on one coaching program for women ambivalent about motherhood, who hear maybe in their hearts and want a tailored and highly soul-filling coaching experience to their truth.  Next week.  But I changed my mind.

In honor of International Women’s Day, I’m opening these sessions up today and for a hugely discounted price.  Just for today.

Why?  To become a mother or not is the biggest conversation women aren’t having yet it’s the acupressure point for what happens in our life and who we become.  We need to know our truth and we deserve to be at peace with it, no matter what it is.  The cost of ambivalence is huge.  We pay for it in avoidance, time, energy, the wrong relationships, confused sense of self, a fear of regret, masking our desires or not daring to look.

Honor the whispers in your heart.  Together we uncover your truth.

Like the Maybe Baby Group Program, Maybe Baby One on One- gently and lovingly moves you toward your truth and helps you make peace with it.  Your entire life shifts closer to your heart; your truth.  And I help get you there.

Maybe Baby One on One

• Five sessions with me in a personalized and tailored program for you.
• Access to all of the expert interviews from the Maybe Baby Expert Faculty (incl. Lissa Rankin MD, Danielle LaPorte, Cath Duncan, Heather Plett, and more).
• Between session activities and exercises to deepen your learning and understanding.
• Having “The Conversation”  A personal guide to talking to partners, loved ones, or people who need to butt out.

Today it is $500.  (Just today!) Happy International Women’s Day~

Installments Plan: $250 today and again in 2 weeks.

(If you need a different installment plan, let’s talk and see what is possible.)

 Or, you can pay in full.

If you have questions email me (randi at randibuckley dot com).  I will honor the price for any email I receive today.

“If you are struggling and hurting with the Maybe Baby issue please do go to Randi Buckley because Maybe Baby just untangles the ball of pain you are and helps you on your own path to your beautiful truth. And you are so worth that darling, your happiness is worth that so please go now and sign up.” ~Grace Quantock, Wales

This post is part of The ABCs of Fierce Love, by Stratejoy.  Boy did Molly have me pegged for this topic!  It’s become my life’s work.  What an honor to be one of 26 writers (yes, I called myself that!) sharing my strategy for self-love.  Thank you, Molly and thank you for stopping by.  Now, about you…

Your heart knows your song, but you have to be willing to listen to the words. ~Sue Rock

By my calculations, there are about 39 different ways I could write this post; honoring comes in many forms.   But since this is in the spirit of Fierce Love I’m going to honor my most fierce wish for you:  honoring the whispers of your heart.

To me, honoring is to shine a light and acknowledge. It’s a light shone outward and a light we can shine internally.  Sometimes, it’s making the unseen visible and offering up a moment of reverence, if not gratitude.  Honoring is listening for and naming your truth.

The deepest honor in the name of self-love shines light onto the whispers in the heart.  Like a smoke signal we can’t see in the dark, the light we shine illuminates desire.  This longing could be a calling, a caution, a message, intuition.  Unseen, it smolders until it becomes a burning that is either ignored, self-anesthetized or an ache.  It’s the signal that we are no longer fully living our truth.

To date, the greatest whisper in my heart was ignored for decades.  I never thought it could exist and when it started to evidence itself I ran from it.  The mere suggestion did not lend itself to who I thought I was but my heart was starting to say maybe to motherhood.  My Maybe Baby question was smoldering.  I was not cool with this.  But I knew that until you really honor the questions and whispers of the heart, you cannot be fully at peace.  You have to know your truth before you can be at peace with it.  So I listened, and I explored and I gave myself permission to change my mind.  I honored the question and by doing so, honored my truth.

The soul speaks by whispering into our heart.  It leaves a message, suspended in time, waiting to be heard and yearning to be honored.

Whispers into the heart come when they are ready and they don’t mean we were not clear in our actions, identity or know who we were before them.  We evolve and peel back our layers.  New layers reveal aspects closer to our core.  We weren’t wrong before them but the whispers inform who we are to become.

Every child wants to be heard and shines when they are acknowledged.  Children thrive when they are honored.  Most of us would listen to a child tugging at out our leg wanting to tell us something.  We’d crouch down, look into their eyes and let their words settle into who we are.  We’d listen and they would feel heard.  Honoring your whispers is no different.  They long for your attention.

How do we honor the whispers in our heart?

We listen to them.  We recognize they are there.  We create space for them in our lives.  We live their questions without committing to an outcome before we crack open their truth.  Honoring the heart reveals our song.

Honoring the whispers may not mean your life will radically change.  Honoring the messages means you are listening and are willing to look at their meaning, their hope for you.  It may be that listening is enough.

What wants to be honored in you?  What desire, next move, new path, course correction, budding love, extinguished flame or truth need to be honored in your heart?

Tell me what your heart is whispering to you in the comments, and I’ll give you a prompt to begin to honor the truth that is trying to reveal itself to you.

I knew in advance of holding a scholarship contest that I couldn’t pick the recipient.  At least not alone.  Part of my drive with Maybe Baby is to support as many women as possible and I also know that you need to be in the right place to be willing to take that peek into your heart and soul.   The timing has to be right.

There is a saying in Norwegian, “Det som kjem fra hjerte går til hjerte”.  That which come from the heart goes to the heart.  Indeed that is exactly what these entries have done.  Your vulnerability is beautiful AND transformative.  Thank you for sharing with us and I hope mere act of writing your heart was clarifying and insightful.

Fortunately I have incredible guest judges, all deeply intuitive who understand the profound and vulnerable nature of Maybe Baby journey and what’s at stake.  Every woman who entered spoke directly to the heart and mind of the judges.  Across time and space, we are all in the spectrum of the  Maybe Baby journey together.  

A DEEP thank you (of the palms together, head bowed variety) to these insightful women, for listening with their heart, gut and soul.  They quite frankly, rock.  Thank you:

SO- I’m giving two full scholarships to Maybe Baby and have something else for ALL of the women who entered.  Please contact me (randi at randibuckley dot com) today or tomorrow!  (I don’t have your email, so you will need to contact me.  Thanks!)  You are all deserving and I believe, in the right space for this journey.  Thank you!

I’m deeply honored that you shared your heart and want to support all of you on this journey.  Thank you to Sarah, Sera, Iris, Explorer, Renee and Allison for your entries here.

‎”I can honestly say I didn’t realize I would enjoy doing the program so much. I really, really enjoyed doing the exercises, living the question, and learning more about myself. I also think my husband is grateful I did this, because I assured him that now I honestly know what I want and am not just tossing decisions into the air. This was one of the best things I have ever done for myself. Thank you so much for facilitating this, and for putting this out into the universe. I think you are going to help a lot of women with the program.” ~Maybe Baby participant

Maybe Baby starts next week and registration closes Friday, February 3rd.

If you’ve been considering enrolling in Maybe Baby (For women who are ambivalent about motherhood but hear the whisper of ‘maybe’ in their hearts) or if you’re just hearing about it for the first time, I want to give you a nudge to register for the course.  Of course you have to to be ready to get honest with yourself, be willing to open your heart and witness your truth.  It’s no small thing.  But it is everything to be at peace with your truth, whatever it may be.  Everything.

Maybe Baby starts next week and registration closes Friday, February 3rd.  

So the nudge is thus:  a scholarship contest.  If you don’t want to take your chances and you want to get in on the program (it, ahem, starts next week) please register on the Maybe Baby page.  If you want to take your chances, you can enter below.

I’m offering one full scholarship to Maybe Baby and the winner will be determined by a really nice panel of guest judges.  The winner will be announced Saturday morning.  Like registration, the scholarship competition closes on Friday, midnight (PST).

Maybe Baby starts next week and registration closes Friday, February 3rd.  

To enter, please tell me in the comments below:

1) What does ambivalence about motherhood costs you?  and/or

2) What would be different for you as a result of knowing your truth? 

Good luck and go!  Creating and facilitating this course if one of my callings in this world.  I so want to support you through this. Oh, and please tell a friend.

UPDATE-

There’s a lot of “maybe” going on these days.  Many of you are on the fence about being on the fence, not sure if you are ready to look at the ‘maybe’ conversation.  I get it.  I was there for a long time.  It’s a hard place to be.  It’s emotionally draining and always on your mind.  And then there’s the build up of pressure, thinking the clock is ticking.  Good times.

Like anything that isn’t examined or given light or fresh air to breathe, the Maybe Baby question feels more loaded and bigger with time.  If it’s on your mind now, it’s ready to be asked and examined.  Waiting for any reason, has a cost and an emotional toll.  You don’t have to wait.

I’m running a little webinar and chat next Thursday, January 26th at 4:00PM PST for women who are on the fence about the Maybe Baby Coaching Program (starting February 6th) and for those of you who would like more information.  I’ll be there with a short overview of the program but we’ll also talk about some of  issues that surround the heart and mind when it comes to Maybe Baby.  I’d love for you to join me.

You can register below.  I’m doing a webinar because I’ll have a few things to show you on the screen but you’ll also see me on the webcam and can interact with me, if you’d like to, via chat, voice or through your own webcam.
