How The Biggest Risk I Took Led Me to My...

Celinne Da Costa
About this episode

In 2016 I had an epiphany, “If I don't change my life, I am going to die inside”. And so, I packed my backpack and left everything I knew behind to circumnavigate the world. I spent 9-months couch-surfing through the homes of 70+ strangers testing the power of human connection.

It was an extremely vulnerable experience. I felt lost.

Who knew then that this decision would propel my life and career forward in the best possible way? I talk more about this journey in season 1 of the podcast, if you would like to listen click here.

FOR TODAY:

I’d like to retrace my couch-surfing journey from a different perspective: taking that leap of faith toward your Soul’s purpose and leaning into those fears that are holding you back. 

Why? Because I know how scary it can be. For me, it was the BIGGEST F**KING ‘I DON'T KNOW’ OF MY LIFE! It was not at all as sexy or glamorous as some may make it out to be. I had to let go of a life that I had so carefully curated, prepared and organized. I was ticking all the right boxes to live successfully in mainstream society - it was all mentally very satisfying.

But the issue is that when we live a life where our mind leads the way, we're setting ourselves up for a hollow life because it's not the mind that's meant to be in the drivers seat, it's our Soul. 

When we start to operate from our Soul, that's when life gets blissful. That's when life gets exciting. That's when life gets really beautiful and you're living it in alignment to love, in the field of love, in connection to God's source, the almighty, whatever you want to call this oneness that we've all experienced at some point.

I've gone through such a massive dark night of the Soul and ego death and over the past several years, I’ve been rebuilding, shedding, deconditioning, and letting go. I have been doing the inner work and I'm still not done. And I'm not gonna be done anytime in this lifetime.

It's a process. 

THE REASON I WANT TO SHARE THIS IS:

If you're drawn to this work, if you're drawn to my podcast and this episode, I trust that your Soul called you to receive this message today for you to remember that you are worthy. You are worthy of creating a life that flourishes within you, that lights you up, that's beautiful, and full of love, and blissful, and joyful. 

I believe that there's a unique gift that you have to bring to the world.

For those of you who are feeling called towards living your life to your Soul’s purpose, I would love to support you as you take your journey home.

I have a beautiful, self-led program called The Journey for you. It is a 12-month all-access path to every recorded course, masterclass, guide, meditation, and workshop I’ve ever created and will create during our time together. Plus, quarterly live group Q&A’s with me so that I can personally support you through your journey. It will quantum leap into your highest Soul destiny and elevate your relationship with business, money, Self, and Spirit. 

If The Journey is resonating with your Soul and you’re ready to ascend sign up here.

HIGHLIGHT QUOTES:

It is so much grander and better and more than anything you ever could have imagined.

To experience change you have to walk into the mystery and unknown.
