I have discovered unique and effective tools to activate, inspire and ground dream visions through years of successfully using my "magical mindset system" while also teaching people about the pitfalls of the "cult mindset."
I'm a lifelong dreamer. Day dreams. Night dreams. Manifesting dreams visions. Navigating out of dark nightmares. A California Dreamer who was born, raised, educated and employed there for most of my life. I am also an American who believes in the Spirit of America. The innovations, creative new ideas, positive energy to solve problems, can-do spirit, the adaptability to changes. Dreaming is one of the best parts about being a human.
Most of my life I actually went after my personal dreams despite many people around me pushing back or telling me I'm crazy. People putting up barriers and blocks because they didn't see the vision or inspiration I could see until it had materialized. Everything starts with a dream. An idea, a vision, an inspiration followed by a seed planted and action taken. A tree doesn't just provide shade overnight. It seems obvious except you'd be surprised at how agitated some people become when new ideas are suggested because it goes against the status quo. These aren't "bad" people. They just see life from a different lens. That's why protecting your dream visions like you would a new born baby is critically important.
I've done a lot of things in my life by taking leaps of faith into the unknown without a net to catch me because I believed in my dreams. I didn't have parents who would bail me out if failed or a spouse to fund my dreams. Nope. Self funded. Mostly on a shoestring budget. Traveled to foreign lands on my own. Rafted scary rivers far from home. Moved to new locations without knowing anyone. Fixed up old houses. Worked my way up the corporate ladder by constantly seeding new marketing ideas, then testing them out like a mad scientist in our testing lab. I've started my own businesses. Earned degrees and certifications. Always learning. Always trying new things and reinventing myself. I became the dream advocate I am today through experiencing both inspired dreams where everything came to me like magic and also stuck nightmares I had to dream my way out of. Until I actually dealt with some of the negative parts of being a spirited dream adventurer, I'd get myself trapped as a small subordinated character in other people's dreams that became my nightmares because I didn't understand something important.
I have a playful spirit and many people tell me I have good energy. I understand when people try to use you for the typical things like money, status, sex, etc. But ENERGY? I thought they were interested in being close to me because they cared about me. Actually, I had to get to the truth that yes, there are people in my life who care about me and MANY who helped me in huge ways on my journey, but I allowed some people in my life who wanted to stay close to me simply to have access to my energy and ability to see creative dream visions.
Why? Because the creative spirit that inspires a dream and ideas are the REAL currency of wealth in life for creating abundance of all kinds and the authentic magnetism that makes for magical living. If you don't cultivate the energy within yourself, well, I guess the next best thing is to try to steal it from someone else.
I needed to dream my way out of these situations with people like this, then take gradually action steps to navigate forward into new inspired dreams. I found myself starting completely over on my own numerous times. I was naive and gullible. I always landed on my feet because I was aligned with my true path. However, I repeated this same cycle over and over where in my ascent out of the abyss and back into the light, I had very poor boundaries with others.
The biggest and toughest dream adventure I ever took though, was the one where I faced the shadow lands inside my own head and heart. Unhealed pain and crazy thinking that kept me running and chasing new dreams to AVOID facing the actual emotions of WHY I had poor boundaries in the first place. Why was I co-dependent and people pleasing? I didn't "inner stand" my energy, gifts, true power and worth because I was seeing myself through a warped lens of "less than." I was also very dumb about the dark, greedy, and mean-spirited side of our human behaviors. I didn't know any better or how to change it for most of my life. I finally stepped back from many aspects of life for TEN YEARS, looked into my own shadow side of negative patterns, addictions, traumas, wounds and masks. I healed myself from the inside out and learned to LOVE the shadows and darkness as well as the love and light. After a decade, I gained new perspectives of both light and dark aspects of life, developed MUCH better boundaries and the true confidence I needed to slowly move forward into more meaningful dreams one step and a time. I am the courageous and sovereign co-creator of my own life's dream. The wisdom and experience I gained is what I love to share with others through AnuBel. I was made for this. Your story and dream is going to be completely different than mine. But what we all have in common is the desire to live our best lives.
Work Experience
I was a marketing executive for decades working for Fortune 100 and 500 financial services companies, then ventured out on my own as a consultant. I've worked at startups and owned a direct marketing agency. As a certified life coach, I have worked with artists, executives, business owners, and teams to help them achieve their next level dream or higher version of themselves.
Education
I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from UCLA, Master of Arts degree in Transpersonal Psychology from John F. Kennedy University and am a Certified Life Coach through the International Coach Federation.
Personal Story
When I was a kid, my mom took me to a Neurologist for testing because I was different. I got frequent migraine headaches. He told her my brain worked like about 10% of the population. I suppose today I would be called, "Neurodivergent!" So I was born different. I wasn't here to be like everyone else as hard as I tried!
From a young age I learned to wear masks to fake who I really was until the pain became too much. There have been fun adventures and experiences of all types along the way with companions that were amazing. Yet I never felt like I really fit anywhere because quite often, the world actually overwhelmed me -- crowds, bright lights, loud noises, toxins in the food, water and unnatural environments.
My strategy from a young age for being different was to find peace or numbing out by getting lost in my imagination, creativity, love of animals and nature and connection to the Most High God, the Creator of All That Is.
With the struggles of being different came some incredible gifts. "We don't know how you do what you do, but it seems like magic." I've heard this many times throughout my life. "What you touch seems to turn to gold." or, "I feel inspired when I'm around you."
When I'm in my light, ideas and creativity come to me easily and naturally. Intuition guides my every move. People tell me I have good energy. I have insights and dream visions for the highest potential of people and situations. This is my secret sauce. Sharing it with others is my passion. When I'm operating from shadow, I become overwhelmed, moody and well, like anyone, it's not always pleasant.
I struggled to explain to people how I was able to do these things because I never really understood it myself. I was paid well by employers and clients for my talents yet I always felt somewhat awkward about them. So the less I accepted myself and my own uniqueness, the more I was unconsciously giving some people permission to take advantage of me. The emotional and spiritual abuse I have experienced in my life, though deeply painful, ultimately gave me both the inner strength and the wisdom to step into my higher calling.
Believing in my dreams, being of service to others (without sacrificing myself), giving voice to my creative essence, accepting and embracing my shadow aspects, creating, connecting with others on soulful levels and trusting my intuition are the ingredients for me to live a fulfilling life.
Developing My Work
About a decade ago, I had arrived at a point in my coaching practice where I was envious of my own clients since I was using my natural talents and acquired skills to help them achieve their dreams while seriously neglecting my own.
I needed to understand what it felt like to give myself what I had been giving to others!
Sharing the Wisdom
The adventure of life is a creative one filled with highs, lows and in-between for all of us. One thing is for certain, life is going to unfold anyway, so we might as well be on a adventure of our own choosing rather than just letting life happen to us. Believing in ourselves and never giving up on our dreams is actually the secret ingredient to achieving them. Otherwise we might end up in someone else's nightmare!
I believe we are currently in the midst of a significant evolutionary cycle in consciousness for humanity whereby we need to refocus our attention on the truth in our hearts, our love currency rather than the constant survival focus on money. The old structures created from too much logic, fear and survival for money are falling away in favor of more benevolent systems and structures created for the benefit of all.
I know from my own experiences that facing significant changes in our lives requires courage to face the fear of the unknown and develop an entirely new perspective that can feel wobbly for a while. We've all got the old programs and conditioning to work through plus some uncomfortable emotions.
That's when we need to ask for support from another who believes in our potential.
