Welcome everyone. This is Jennifer Urezzio. I’m a Super Power Expert and founder of Soul Language and this is SuperPowers of the Soul. We’re with Jami Hearn today, and we’re talking about women empowerment strategies for success. Welcome Jamie.
Hi, thank you so much for having me. It’s a pleasure to be with you and your audience.
Yay. I’m so excited and you know, success has always been a big topic with my kind of journey and career, and so I love that we’re going to be really getting deep down into this topic today, but before we start, I wanted the audience to get to know you a little better, and I really want to understand what you consider the superpower of your soul.
Well, it really depends on which super power cape I put on that day, but the superpower of my soul is the ability to hear what is not being said from my clients and in situations. So often we go through conversations and interactions with people professionally and personally on autopilot, and we spent so much time anticipating what the other person is going to say. We’re forming our response before we have even truly heard and absorbed their message. So, that is one of the most pivotal superpowers that I utilize with my clients is knowing what’s not being said.
And how has that superpower showing up in your own life? Because I think that’s really important for people to understand that your superpower is for your use first, and then extended to others. So, how has that supported your own journey?
I honestly ignored it for a long time. I spent a lot of years making choices and building a successful, and I use that term with air quotes-
In quotes.
Life and profession and existence, because I was caught up in that wanting to fulfill someone else’s expectation. In the moment that I realized that I was never saying my actual truth was the moment that I started on a far more introspective, spiritual journey to identify what my purpose was and what was going to resonate for me to spend the rest of my life doing. I was in my late 20s or early 30s when that journey started, and it’s an ongoing journey for decades.
Yeah. The sacred purpose it always is. It’s really not about doing, it’s fundamentally what you’re here to be, and then offer that being stage to others. And I think that people I think different levels of consciousness and evolution in our lives, hear that or express that, or understand that circle of purpose differently. My sacred purpose started out with the word success. Now my sacred purpose is about connection. You can’t have success without being connected, but I was only at the evolutionary point of hearing the word success. So yeah, our sacred purpose is going to develop. You’re going to understand it more deeply tomorrow than you do today. With that being said, what do you consider your sacred purpose?
My sacred purpose is to give women the tools that are readily available to them, in order to allow them to release self-judgment, honor their true self-worth, and truly reclaim their sovereign power.
And how has that reflected in your own journey? Like, how has some of the experiences you have allowed you to kind of dive into this subject and create all these tools?
I spent my entire adolescence and young adulthood operating from a masculine model, and setting a goal and obtaining it at any cost. And that came with much self-judgment, much diminution of my value if I didn’t hit the goal the way someone else thought I should be hitting the goal or in the timeframe that someone else thought I should, which I was then projecting on myself. And I was giving my power away to all of these societal structures: School, sports, my parents, what college I should go to, what grad school I should go to, where I should apply for a job after I was done with grad school. So, I never had an awareness of how much suffering I was inflicting on myself.
Yeah, it sounds exhausting. And I just want to clarify for our audience, and I know Jamie means this, but I want to make sure that the audience really truly understands this. I think there’s this conception about giving your power away in spirituality, and you can’t give your power away to anyone, but what you can do is utilize your power in several different areas and without focus, so it feels like you have no power left. And I always tell clients to do the penny game. Okay? So, if you have 100 pennies, what are you spending your 100 pennies on each day? And at the end of the day, how many is left over for your own truth, your own creation, your own expression of what you want to create? So, it sounded like from what you were saying, Jamie, wow, you were really kind of all over the place and there was nothing left for you. Is that accurate?
Absolutely.
Yeah. That’s really a painful place to be. So how did you start to kind of disassemble that?
Well, it started really unraveling when I learned that one of my children had a heart defect.
Oh no.
I was pregnant with him. It was in utero. And I saw a side of my husband at the time that I didn’t know. And it kind of rocked me to think that the person I thought I had chosen to spend the rest of my life with had no compassion for our unborn child, or me receiving that news, and to make matters a little more complicated, my mother’s brother died from the same heart defect.
Whoa.
I felt really alone at that moment.
Yeah.
And that was the turning point. That’s when I realized that I needed more and I needed to find it within myself. It’s Women Empowerment Strategies.
Whoa, that’s an amazing kind of catalyst of a journey for you. Before we break here, what has been a big theme that your soul has shared with you throughout your journey?
Boundaries. That has been a tremendous theme in my own journey and what I have helped other people to create, and how honoring my own boundaries has allowed me to show up in a more authentic, effective way, personally and professionally.
Yeah, and we’re going to talk a little bit more about that after break, because I love this subject of boundaries, and I also feel like when we say that, people kind of, it’s to me sometimes when people say that for myself, I’m like, “Okay, you just gave me like an insurance form. I know I’m supposed to be able to fill this out, but I really don’t know what you’re talking about.” Right? So, I really want to cover that a little bit more when we talk about empowerment strategies for success. But before break, let everyone know how to get in touch with you. Give out your website.
My website is jamihearn.com.
Perfect. And that will be in the show notes everyone. So, stay tuned with me and Jami, we’re going to be talking about women empowerment strategies for success.
