Hello everybody. And welcome back to the pursuit of purpose podcast. I am Melissa Barham and I am a purpose and business mentor coach, helping you to find your purpose, own it, and create a life that is a reality and reflection of that soul calling. I'm so, so, so grateful that you are tuning in today. If you are new to the show, welcome.

If you are OG and have been with me since the beginning, hello and welcome back. We are at the end of freaking November. Time just keeps flying. It's like right into Black Friday craze shenanigans. I'm sure all of you are being like bombarded by all of the messages for Black Friday. And I think it's a really overwhelming time sometimes because we're going like into the holidays, which, you know, if you want to slow down, we want to have just, you know, reflection and gratitude.

And then there's so much noise from our commercial capitalist world. Although good for deals. I will admit that, but anyway, hope you're all doing okay in the Black Friday banana bananas. Come to think of it when I've talked to a lot of you know, small entrepreneurs coaches service providers find a lot of times like there's a hit and miss, I guess, with whether people.

subscribe to Black Friday or not? And I don't know really how I feel about it either, but I was sitting here today just thinking about just being so grateful for the life that I'm working, creating the clients that I'm getting to work with and all of the ones that I know I'm calling in that are, you know, are coming, coming my way in the next year, looking to really fully step into their soul's calling.

And I was just like, I got this ping, I got this download that was like, you need to offer something because somebody out there needs it. I don't know where this is coming from. I don't know if I will do this again in the future or anything like that, but I'm just putting it out there. Literally, I decided five minutes ago.

So for the next week, so I guess till December 3rd, I'm going to be offering 50 percent off of my. Any, like my programs to work one to one with me. So my program, I have an offer currently right now is 12 weeks where we work one to one bi weekly in there, helping you to really find nail in on what you truly feel your so calling is and for you to be able to own that completely and then actually put the roadmap head and work together with you hand in hand, to make that come alive, to make your life, reflect that into 3D reality, not just be an idea.

Of it would be nice if I could live this out and live this kind of life, but actually implement the steps. So you are on your way there. Whether that's full blown, like you want to create a business, let's go, let's put the, you know, put the groundwork into that suite, or maybe that's a totally different direction for you.

Whatever that direction is. I want to work hand in hand with you to make 2025 and beyond a year where you finally start living. Like the person that you know, you're called to be. So I just feel really compelled. This isn't about like sales and getting more for me. This is about like just having this download that somebody needs this.

Maybe that's you. And if it is you, I really want to encourage you to just jump on applying and just reach out. And you know, if it's not for you in the end, that's cool. But if you feel a tug on your heart, that this is, this is really what you need to do to step into this version of you that you know, and you keep getting the nudges deep down inside that.

You need to awaken to, you need to answer that call. And you really want to find the fulfillment you've always been looking for in your life. That's been missing. And it's hidden there and you understanding what your soul calling is and letting it out. If that's you, I want to give this as a gift to you.

50 percent off one to one working with me and really addressing whatever direction is that you are wanting to go in. So if that is you, I encourage you to apply, the link is in my show notes. If you want to just ask a few questions, send me a DM, send me an email, whatever, all of the information is there in the show notes and let's get you set up for the best freaking year of your life where you finally feel fulfilled at home in yourself in what you're doing and who you are because you know it's who you always meant to be all along.

So the information for that is going to be in the show notes. Can't wait to connect with you all and Just really, really encourage you to take that step forward for yourself if this is what you're being pulled to do. Okay. Going forward. Sorry for my maybe wonky mic sounding setup at this point in time.

I am back to the old school iPhone headphone setup because I'm not with my regular mic. I am traveling. So, I am in Hawaii, actually, and I'm here for a couple of weeks, which has been, I've been here already for a few days, but I'm here for another, like, week and a bit, and it's been so, so, so lovely. I am on the big island, which is like super cool.

There's so much to see on it. It's so big. Why I'm here? Why not? Uh, no, I again, one of these kind of really fun manifestations where family, friend, lives here and had the opportunity to come here and really felt pulled to do it. I'm learning to just kind of go with my intuition and do what I get the ping of excitement for and this was one of them.

And so I really just have no plans, but to sink in, do what feels good and feel like what, what like I'm being led to. So today that was working. I'm not in the sun. You know, make Some really epic progress on a few of the projects I'm working on in my business that I'm really excited for so I'm gonna go to a cafe and do that today And yeah, just here to absorb all of the abundant like high frequency energy around around me because I think Hawaii is such a special place Like it's super chill at the same time of being like really positively energy charged That is how I feel.

So it has been lovely so far. Got lots of, lots of beach time. But I'm not here just to relax as well. There's so much that I don't know if you guys have heard about, Oh, I don't even know what the name of it is called now. Dang it. When the whole autumn, it's not autumn spark, whatever, where you really go ham on your ideas and everything within the fall or like over autumn so that you're not waiting for January 1st.

I actually forget what the name of it is called, what people are calling it. Anyways, I've been very in that and I just have so many ideas. So much that I am excited for. I was on a hike this morning and I literally had so many downloads So maybe more hikes are in the future. We don't know if that's what they do for me, but I'm just really jazzed about everything that's doing and You know while being here for the past few days, I've really gotten to take some slow mornings, which I I love, I'm not an early morning person, but I am a slow morning person.

And I've just been able to ground into some of my regular morning meditations and things like that. And I keep being pulled back into gratitude. And that's what I wanted to talk about today. And it could because it really got me thinking. I find as a person that I wax and wane with my gratitude practice.

Like sometimes I'm really good with it. Sometimes I feel like it has no effect. Sometimes I like I'm obsessed with it. And yeah. But being here specifically has really made me acknowledge like. Like just how much I have to be grateful for every day. Like I was thinking about all of 2024 and I'm so blessed.

I'm so grateful. I'm so privileged to have gotten to do what I've been able to do and, you know, travel to Patagonia and the UK and Portugal and like all these places. And I, you know, I Quit my job. I stepped into entrepreneurship. Like there's so many pivots and turns as I'm kind of getting into the, into this like end of the year season of reflection where I'm like, Holy moly, there's just so much to be grateful for.
