Empowered Life Strategy with Julia Levitan

The times, they are a-changin'

Do you enjoy change?

Here's my confession: I'm a coach who specializes in leadership and empowerment, I've trained with psychologists to learn techniques for leading others through change and crises, and I have applied these tools with my own teams. I have launched fast growing companies and built new projects from scratch. I have gone into companies as a coach and supported teams through rapid growth and culture shift efforts. I love the growth that comes through change. But in my own life, I still find change challenging when it's not happening on my terms.

This past year, the world has been changing rapidly...

Experiences that we took for granted and relied on have suddenly become unavailable
Simple systems and tasks are suddenly complex
Institutions and ideas that we assumed would keep us safe are now being changed
Plans that we made for ourselves and our companies/projects have gotten disrupted
New questions and fears have entered our minds

And yet - there is increasing evidence that there is important work to be done. This is the time for us to step UP, NOT get sidetracked and defeated by overwhelm. It can feel like a complex maze of competing intentions and realities.

Faced with all this change, we have four options:

1. Deny it all and insist on pretending that nothing has changed in the face of evidence to the contrary.
2. Hide from the change and wait it out; surely things will come back to "normal" eventually? (Hint: sorry to disappoint those employing this strategy, but this is highly unlikely).
3. Resist the change and forcefully will things to operate in your way.
4. Embrace the change, and use it as an opportunity to transform your life and up-level your spirit, letting go of any excuses and creating a thriving life on all levels. Not by pushing, but by releasing resistance and building momentum that carries you forward with fun and play.

Which door will you choose to walk through?

Join me in crafting your path through Door 4. I've heard it said that we should never waste a crisis. Let's take this crisis by its horns and transform our strategy in this changing world. This is our chance to play a new game, to choose a set of rules that we want, and to WIN at our own game.

Will you invest a small fraction of time now in order to shift the course of your experience of this life forever?

Energy is the big theme these days: managing energy, fueling energy, protecting energy.

Are you feeling empowered and energized? Are you feeling tired?

In our “go, go, go,” “no pain, no gain,” "push to understand the new normal" world, “I’m tired” is a standard descriptor of just about everyone’s state of being. A senior executive at a high growth company confessed to me recently that when he encounters someone full of energy, he assumes that they’re taking a stimulant like caffeine or even Adderall to fuel them.

Can you relate?

What if it didn’t have to be that way? Here’s the little known secret: our body, mind, and spirit are designed to be far more powerful.

Where do you source your energy?

For many, energy can feel transient and deeply dependent on our emotions. Good news, pleasant interactions, and positive thoughts fuel our energy, while negativity, fear, and disappointment deplete it rapidly.

Watching your energy patterns ebb and flow can feel like the stock market with an inner dialogue like this one: “Will I feel good today? Will I struggle through the day? Let’s look for signs - upticks or downticks - and then we’ll know! And if it’s a down day, maybe it all started with getting up on the wrong side of the bed? Or my noisy neighbor? Or...”

What if that actually isn’t how it works? What if there is a method to the madness, a roadmap to not just predict where your energy stock might go, but a (legal) way to manipulate the market that is your life, in order to intentionally set your energy stock price where you want it to be?

After running hundreds of experiments in my own life as well as with my clients for many years, I unlocked a combination of practices that allow you to do just that.

So, if you had a say, what energy level would you choose for yourself?

I have spent over fifteen years analyzing energy, where it comes from, where it goes, and how we can harness it in optimal ways. In my research, I have learned that it’s deeply rooted in our programming. Our neural programming. Together with my husband (who is a board certified neurologist), I explored this further and discovered the science: it turns out that all of this programming literally lives in the brain.

The shape of your life and everything that happens to you stems from decisions that you make and actions that you take.

Those decisions are dictated by your belief systems and habits. Those belief systems, in turn, are informed by your subconscious mind and programs that you are running.

And those programs are a strategy that your mind created in order to find a way to survive and thrive in the world as you understood it to be at that time. These programs were formed through years of experiences, survival, conclusions made, rationalization, self soothing, and hundreds of voices (some yours, some not) that have gotten lodged in your mind and heart.

Years of running those programs create powerful neural pathways that get etched into the circuitry of your cells. We can witness the power of this through brain scans. These scans show how our brains fire differently, informed by our neural programming, and we can see these patterns in the brain actually change because of new approaches.

Are the programs you’ve been subconsciously running working for you? Are you experiencing your life with joy, ease, flow, optimal health, physical thriving, and abundance?

Science shows us that all of these directly influence your emotional state throughout the day, your vitality, your energy management, and your ability to develop powerful relationships, and your experience of every day.

In our fast-paced world of instant gratification, you might trick yourself into believing that your programming is fixed, unchangeable. And so you settle.

You settle for a life experience that is not optimal because you don’t allow yourself to consider how extraordinary life can feel. And here’s the truth: a suboptimal state of being limits your success in all aspects of your life.

Do you see these patterns? What have you been avoiding in your life? What states of being have you written off as either “not for you” or “just too hard to change?”

What if some simple tweaks in your programming would enable you to live an intentional life -- a life by your own conscious design?

What if you knew that some simple practices would allow you to form these new habits permanently and that the process is quick and simple?

Important note: this works at any age! In a recent cohort of the Empowered Life Strategy, we had participants ranging in age from 30s to 80s.

No matter your age, the truth is that most people wait far too long and create unnecessary pain for themselves, while delaying the experience of joyful thriving and in some cases, even success.

Sometimes...it’s because of the habitual “I’m too busy right now. I’ll wait to improve my life when I have more time.”
Sometimes...it’s feeling that you don’t deserve a better life until you do X, Y, Z, or achieve more.
Sometimes...it's the false assumption that there's no other way, and suffering is a required part of the equation.

For me...it was a combination of “no time” and the fallacy of “I’m smart, I’m perceptive, and I’ll naturally get this stuff figured out on my own, one day.”

It’s similar to how you might treat your gadgets. Do you upgrade your computers and devices regularly or do you wait until they start noticeably slowing down, freezing, or failing before you address the issue? Our internal systems are the same: will it take a meltdown for you to consider how critical this is?

In my case, that’s exactly what happened. My resistance to some of these concepts nearly landed me on my deathbed when I was in my early 30s even while I had two thriving businesses, wonderful people around me, and a life that I loved. Nobody should have to live through the agony I went through to identify their energy growth game plan. That’s why I’ve put together a protocol for you to do just that - with ease.

Empowered Life Strategy

It is my joy to introduce you to the Empowered Life Strategic Roadmap, a process I designed to support you in identifying where you are now, where you want to arrive, and the path to creating a life environment that leads you there.

Think of it like a self driving car. First we get clear on the starting point and goal, then we work together to set up all the technology and to help you test it out so that everything is working perfectly, and then you’ll emerge with a brand new Tesla. After that, as long as you recharge it using the correct battery, you’ll always be set for your next ride. Now that’s what I call a powerful ROI.

We can all feel that the world is shifting rapidly.

What do you want to shift in your life? What do you want to create?

Now is the time. I see this period as a tremendous opportunity for all of us to step into our power, break the shackles of limitations, and get into impactful action.

Set yourself up for an unstoppable, highly successful 2021, complete with an upgraded brain, connected heart, activated soul, and energetic thriving.

Consider: if you held the reins, what would you tackle first?

“I am full of gratitude for the energetic and inspirational guidance I’ve received from beautiful Julia. Infinitely patient and giving, Julia will ask you questions that require looking inward, and will help you expand upon ideas of who you wish to be in this life. She has guided me with supportive encouragement and allowed me the space to reach a much more vast perspective of my true self, and now, I find myself on a continually unfolding path of the light I aspire to share with the world.”

"At a time of both possibility and uncertainty in my career and the world, Julia helped me prioritize my goals, appreciate what I have to offer the community I serve, and focus my energies on the parts of my life I can positively affect, rather than fret over aspects beyond my control. Her combination of relevant source materials, centering exercises, active listening, and willingness to share from her own experiences made our time together engaging, enlightening and enjoyable. Our conversations were never rushed and it's refreshing to work with a coach who is still out in the field leading her organization and can support your journey as a fellow cultural practitioner working towards making a positive impact. Julia validated my sense of self and following our time together, I feel renewed and find myself making progress every day in a mode of doing and pursuing."

― Scott H., senior executive and visionary leader

“My work with Julia has expanded my professional horizons in so many ways, in a very short period of time. I feel supported and sustained by the spirit of innovation that is at the heart of her mission. It's been a sea change in my creative life to experience this level of trust and confidence, partnership and collaboration. Julia is truly my partner in dreaming and growing. She receives my ideas and plans with enthusiasm, helps me shape and polish them, and encourages me to let them grow as big as they can; our work together gives me wings to fly.”

“Julia is an enormous asset and will be a transformative power in your life. In fact, she has been the most transformative personality in my life.

I cherish all the insights, wisdom, and intuition that she has lent me and all of the tangible changes that she has brought about in my life. My work with her has opened up not just new avenues but really new vistas in terms of my character, emotional well-being, business sense, organization; in all aspects of my life, personal and business, I am reaping the rewards of the enormous resources that Julia has introduced to me.

She has changed my life fundamentally from a behavioral standpoint, from an intellectual standpoint, and from a perspective standpoint. My business reality has been completely reset due to her expertise in disparate facets of business as well as her interpersonal skills, her empathy, intuition, wisdom and her comprehensive grasp of deeper self-awareness. Beyond this, I now conceive of my own projects differently and, through her coaching, can see myself as an agent for transformation. I have enjoyed working with Julia immensely and recommend her to everyone I know... Should you work with Julia? Absolutely!”

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"
