{HOT WOMEN TO WATCH is a monthly feature where I put the spotlight on one powerful and soulful woman whose work I’m appreciating and cheering on because something tells me this is just the beginning.}
In her past life she was a flight attendant travelling the world. Now, she’s a life coach, a reiki therapist and a meditation teacher helping people starting out on their spiritual journey.
This month’s HOT WOMAN TO WATCH is Erin Kyna, a fellow Aussie beauty living in Melbourne, Victoria with her wife of 10 years.
I first met Erin back in May 2013. I was in Melbourne speaking at Soulpreneurs and she was an Earth Angel (literally!) helping out with the event. It was afterwards, when a few us who remained were all hanging out downstairs in the funky little bar sipping on champagne celebrating a beautiful evening, that Erin and I connected.
A few months later we connected again when Erin attended my Group Immersion in Melbourne. It was here I really got to know her.
She has a smile that will knock you out and a radiance you wish you could bathe in for as long as you can. Her heart is made of gold and her intentions are as pure as white light. She’s soulful and deep. She’s spirited and wise. She’s intuitive and real.
I trust her.
And I know you can too.
Introducing, Erin Kyna…
{Lets go deep and meaningful}
From breakdown to breakthrough, what was this moment for you? The defining moment that changed e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.
Bizarrely enough, it was one sentence from a cab driver. When my life was in the darkest place, he drove me home while I cried in the back seat. He asked me to tell him what was wrong, and persisted that I talk to him, as I will never see him again. After baring my soul, when we arrived at my place, he turned and looked me in the eye and said “Sounds like you need to make a new life for yourself”. And that was it. The pivotal moment. I saw that my life could be changed, and that it was up to me, and this was the beginning of my journey towards loving myself. It was the one sentence that changed my life.
What has been the most challenging thing to let go of so you could put yourself first (be it your health or your desires or your inner wisdom)? And what helped you let it go?
Relationships. Relationships that had began in a time when I was existing co-dependently, and relying on others to fulfil my emotional needs. Always desiring to put other people first, but with expectation. Expectation that they would love me back, make me feel good in return. So letting go of that, and recognising that my self love needs to come first, and then to be able to love others unconditionally, with no expectation. As I have grown and changed, and now fulfil my emotional needs for myself, it has forced the relationships that have existed in the old way of being to break down as well. So letting them go is not about ending the relationship, but allowing and trusting them to transform and grow as I grow. Recognising that growth comes from letting go, helped me let it go and seeing it as an act of love for them, loving them enough to not continue relating to them in the old way.
Why do you do what you do?
Because I can’t not do what I do! Nothing brings me greater joy than to be connected to people and allowing them to see the light that is within them, the way that I see them. I shed tears of gratitude for my clients, that I am lucky enough that they allow me the honour of being their coach. Watching them grow and love themselves more deeply, that is the most rewarding part of my job. They then become a light of potential for the people in their lives also, that they too can love themselves more.
When do you feel most powerful, free, alive & turned on?
When I am connected! When I have been maintaining the things in my daily life that allows me to be connected to my higher self, to source. So taking good care of myself, through yoga, meditation, daily self love practices. When I feel that deep connection to my higher self, I know I am infinite. Nothing in the world beats that feeling for me, I can close my eyes, turn my face to the sun, and feel that deep connection. That is pure bliss.
What excites you most about 2014?
Stepping into 2014 with faith. That I am no longer letting the ego rule any more, that I make my decisions from love and not fear. What is ahead is so unknown, but that is ok. In the past I have needed to know so much, to have control and to know exactly what to expect before I would make a decision, but now, I am allowing my heart to guide me. My heart is my compass, and this year I am devoted to my heart!
What is your current growth edge?
This was definitely stepping up and becoming a full time life coach, and not relying on anyone else to support me. Taking those brave steps towards self employment. My desire is to be my greatest employee and greatest manager at the same time. I always check in to see if I am performing in a way that is in line with my integrity.
What books are you always telling people to read?
The Dark Side of the Light Chasers by Debbie Ford, Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch, and Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Froer. I love books!!!
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear: MAGIC?
Coaching! That magic is my job! I get to play with the magic of creation every day in my job, by connecting through the heart and through the soul with my clients. That is life. Life is Magic! We are powerful creators, and when we make conscious choices to create our experiences, anything is possible. It requires conscious awareness and consciously choosing what it is that we want.
{Now for the short and sweet…}
I’m interested in…all things spiritual, metaphysical, esoteric, yoga, love.
I believe…we have everything within us. That we are beings of light. That we have the capacity to meet all of our emotional needs.
I no longer…wish to be depended on things outside of myself for my happiness.
I desire…a deep connection with all that is.
In my experience…every time my life has been dark, it was because there was a lack of self love. Self love is the answer to everything.
