I want to tell you about one of the worst times in my life.

It was in Tuscany, Italy in 2018 and I was running my first international retreat.

A woman with PTSD had attended my event and within days, she’d hijacked the whole thing.

Two other attendees rallied around her, and suddenly I had a kick me sign on my back.

Nobody was making eye contact with me. I was persona non grata…at my own retreat.

I called my husband every night, crying.

“I want to come home. They don’t need me here. I’m not a leader.”

This retreat was my dream!
I had poured SO many positive expectations into it.

And there I was, the woman who teaches people how to show up wanting to crawl under a rock and disappear.

Have you ever worked that hard for something, only to feel like the universe was laughing at you?

That was me. Alone in my room, left feeling that I made the biggest mistake of my life.

My husband had been there before, too. He’d been dropped into a failing hotel as GM and the managers who ran the place before him never let him lead. They froze him out. Sound familiar?

So I asked him: “What did you do?”

Three words. That’s all he gave me.

“You lead anyway.”

I threw back my shoulders, walked in the next morning, and led, whether they saw me as a leader or not.

By the end of that retreat?

Every single woman walked away with her intention realized. Every one. Even the woman with PTSD who had come wanting a circle of women to support her. The two women who had frozen me out? Their intention was to become better leaders. I gave them that opportunity.

And then I got on a train to Naples (the city where I was born) instead of flying home in tears. Miracles of transformation happened. When I came back to Canada, my vibration was so high that within weeks I attracted two elite clients. Back to back. Out of nowhere.

But here’s the part that still gives me chills.

A month later, I was coaching one of my new clients Susan.
She was in a dark place. “I feel like a total Crap Magnet,” her words.

I stopped the session and said, “Can I share something that just happened to me?”

I told her my Sh*show in Tuscany story. She went quiet, then she said, “OMG Elvira, thank you SO much for sharing that. I feel SO much lighter. If you went through that a month ago and look at you now, I know I’m going to get through this too.”

That’s when I realized I didn’t go through that experience for me. I went through it for her.

I would live every moment of that pain again to give her that gift.

Here’s what I know to be true:

The stories we’re most ashamed of? The moments we most want to hide? Those are the ones that change lives. Yours…and everyone who needs to hear them.

But you can’t share what you haven’t healed and you can’t attract miracles when you’re still a Crap Magnet.

That’s exactly why THE Love Your Vibe Transformation – my 6-month Group Mentorship Program was co-created…thanks to Eleanor Hayward & Jennifer Hawkins who loved my teachings & tools, then added their own elements to turn it into the much beloved program it is today.

Inside, you’ll be surrounded by a loving (not judging) community of people who are doing the same work, holding each other accountable, and showing up even when they want to crawl under a rock and disappear (like I did in Tuscany).

This is the program Susan needed. The one that the woman with PTSD in Italy was crying out for. And it might just be the one you need too.

My brilliant team of facilitators also share their own stories. We believe that our stories save lives ♡

If you’re ready to stop waiting for life to stop being hard before you start showing up, this is for you.
