When the infinite speaks, I listen.
Chenae Carey
It was 3:30 p.m. on a Tuesday in March this year (2019). I had 30 minutes until I was due to jump online to run a workshop for the women in my Facebook content membership.
And then it hit me.
Like a bolt of lightning—clear, precise, unwavering:
“It’s time to close down this membership.”
I was already feeling wobbly and fragile from the abnormal pap smear results I’d received the day before, but I summoned the courage to respond:
“Okay, but when?”
The response was instant:
“June.”
Deep breath.
This was HUGE. The membership had been an integral part of my business. March marked its two-year anniversary. It provided a steady monthly income—comfortable and safe. Even though I knew I was transitioning out of Facebook work, I planned to keep it going for a while, to maintain that financial safety net.
But the Infinite had other plans.
I lost it.
I had to tell someone. I had to move this energy through my body.
So, I jumped into the Facebook group for the Third Level Alumni community and did a Facebook Live—sobbing as the emotions flowed through me. The fear came to the surface and released as I spoke. My mind, body, and soul came into alignment—and the fear dissipated.
The decision was made.
I got ready for the workshop and said to myself, “It’s okay. I can do this.”
At 4:00 p.m., I began. I told the members who were on the live call. Nobody was surprised. Instead, they asked what was next, and how they could continue working with me—knowing that I’d started working with fear. My heart swelled with joy and relief.
Since that Tuesday afternoon, more and more of my Facebook clients have been closing off their packages. And even though some days I gulp, I keep trusting that it will all work out. The Infinite and I are one. We are co-creating. Fear will not stop me. Fear will not block my intuition.
Since that day, a new membership has been birthed. One totally aligned with my soul’s work. And I believe that without the space created by closing the previous one, this new vision would not have come through so effortlessly.
It’s called the Rise Inspire Shine Sisterhood, and I’m in love. I’m humbled to be the conduit through which it has come into the world—to serve women in meeting and releasing their fears. It’s a freakin’ privilege.
And it doesn’t end there. The opportunities to take risks and shake things up—often not making much logical sense—are coming in thick and fast.
For example, during a conversation with my amazing fiancé, I received a nudge (from him) to switch my in-person Fearless and Free workshops to a pay-it-forward model. It was a huge risk, but guess what? All the places were filled! And the 20 women who so generously paid it forward have made it possible for me to offer it again.
Should I be surprised it worked out abundantly? Maybe not—but I still have my human moments. I am human. And I’m regularly reminded that everything is working out perfectly. I don’t ask for proof, but it often shows up after I take the leap. I lift my foot to step forward—and pray that the path will appear beneath it.
Is it scary?
Yep.
Is that a good enough reason to ignore the nudge?
Absolutely not.
Does it go according to my plan?
Nope.
But I’m simply the vessel. Often, I can’t explain what I’m doing or why. But when I get the nudge—I listen. I act. I take that step. Every single time.
And it always works out.
As Gabrielle Bernstein says, the Universe really does have my back.
Oh, and it has yours too.
