Today, we’d like to introduce you to Misty Blakesley. Misty was introduced to us by the brilliant and talented Melissa LeEllen.
Misty, can you walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Hi, I’m Misty. I’m excited that you’re here, and I want to share my story in hopes it will help you understand that it’s possible to change yours. I know what it’s like to not be living the life you always imagined you would. I also know it can seem impossible to change it. I spent years trying to figure this out. I read all the books and listened to all the podcasts, using everything I could find to make real, lasting changes, only to continually experience the same outcomes over and over.
What I know now is changing your life takes more than mantras and positive thinking. Changing your life takes diving deeply into your mindsets and belief systems. It takes understanding how these mindsets and beliefs impact the way you are currently living your life.
So where do these current mindsets and beliefs come from? They come from many places. Some are generational in nature, passed down through families. Others come from societal structures like government, school, and religion. The strongest ones come through your lived experiences. Here are some of mine:
The loss of my father to cancer at 13 years old
-Witnessing my high school sweetheart struggle with trauma and addiction, which led to his untimely death
-A friend’s suicide
-Pregnancy loss
Put those experiences in a society that favors fast-forwarding through hardships and suppressing emotions because “life keeps going,” and we’ve created a mindset of survival. In this place, life feels like we are barely getting by. It is a life of “not enough time,” “not enough money,” and “not enough love.”
However, if we can learn to lean into the emotions resulting from hardships, we can transform and grow. This path leads to a mindset that creates a life that is more than enough—one that is thriving with prosperity, success, and joy.
That is what one-on-one coaching is all about: the process of changing your mind. And it is best described through the metaphor of the refiner’s fire. A refiner’s fire melts down metal, such as gold and silver, for purification purposes. A refiner’s fire does not destroy the metal; rather, it allows the purest aspects of the metal to rise to the surface while allowing the remaining stuff that does not serve to be left behind.
I started Lemonade with Love to help you refine your life by “melting down” your current mindset and beliefs that no longer serve you, allowing the pure form that is you to rise up. From there, you will create new mindsets and beliefs that support the life you truly want.
Please tell us more about your brand, Lemonade With Love
I believe YOU are your own healer. YOU have all the answers to your questions. YOU have the keys to unlock all the doors. And YOU have the directions to find all that you seek. And this is all within you. “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.” In my experience, what is required for an individual to stop looking around them and begin looking within is a place where they feel safe. And when I say safe, I mean a place where there is no judgment—a place where there is only divine, unconditional love. And that is what I provide: a safe space filled with total compassion and unconditional love for you to explore yourself fully—your beliefs, your emotions, and your lived experiences. In this space, you will dive deep into each of these things to understand how they are currently shaping your reality.
The purpose of healing is to achieve awareness about your current state in a place where you feel safe, determine what is serving you and what isn’t. From there, you can then begin to “change your mind,” releasing what is no longer serving you or helping you create the reality you desire. From here, you are free to choose the life you dream of. You will create beliefs to support you in creating this new life experience.
I prefer the title healer to coach because I believe in absolute healing and restoration. This is where you shed the illusions and remember who and what you truly are, allowing you to step into your power and your birthright of peace, joy, and abundance. Because of this, I do not offer packages. Instead, I create a custom 1:1 session that address your unique situation, allowing you to see results in your “energetic, emotional, and physical reality” in the first session. The amount of time each student spends with me is based on what they wish to achieve, the pace they choose to go at, and their commitment to doing the work. My role is to guide you on your path and teach you the skills and techniques necessary to do this work ongoing on your own! My greatest pleasure is witnessing each student’s transformation before my very eyes. And, when the time is right, celebrate as they move forward on their own!
Melissa LeEllen and Creative Global Entertainment, INC have been great to us and I know you’ve got a great relationship with them as well. Maybe you can tell our audience a bit about Melissa LeEllen and Creative Global Entertainment, INC and your experience with them.
My discovery of Melissa and Jesse was completely serendipitous. We were on a group LinkedIn call totally unrelated to the work either of us is doing. From the moment I heard them speak, I knew they were of my tribe. Our shared energy, passions, and commitment to helping others heal created an immediate connection. From there, we scheduled a call to learn more about each other. Once I discovered how they helped solopreneurs like me master social media and brand marketing, I knew they were an answer to my prayers. I love healing and I love people. I do not LOVE nor do I fully understand social media from a business and brand awareness perspective. However, I recognize that it is where those who are seeking healing and life coaching will find me the easiest. I have come so far in a short amount of time working with them. I recommend to any business – start up to tenured.
