From Italy With Love | UA70

Some surprising lessons on expansion from the end of my trip to Italy. I share what I learned from getting pickpocketed in Florence, missing my connecting flight home from Paris, and eventually arriving home only to discover I have COVID.

Learn how challenges can sometimes help you build your expansive muscle more than easy and pleasant experiences.

One of my most expansive insights was that I’d been rushing and pressuring myself to launch my new group coaching program for the sole reason that I’d publicly announced I’d do this. When I was forced to abandon my launch schedule, I realized the most expansive choice I could make for me was to delay my program. Instead, I’ll be spending a glorious summer painting and offering workshops at GRACE Studio during the most beautiful time here of the year. And I’ll be offering the online Magic Room Experience program, which is already developed and ready to go, this fall when it’s the perfect time to focus on expansion.

IT’S TIME TO START LIVING EXPANSIVELY

I offer a limited number of individual custom online coaching spots, as well as custom mini-retreats at my property in Prince Edward County, Ontario. If you have a specific, expansive goal you’re struggling to make happen, there’s likely an experience I offer that’s suited to your tastes and inclinations. To discuss opportunities for your custom coaching or mini-retreat experience, book a free personal strategy session at www.gracedcanvas.com.

GRACE Studio is where I show my paintings, host workshops and sponsor other live events. You can find out what’s on at GRACE Studio at www.gracedcanvas.com or by subscribing to my newsletter.

Join me for The Magic Room Experience group coaching program this fall. We’ll work together to break through all the BS in your mind that stands between you and living more expansively in one or more areas of your life. You’ll end the program feeling unfettered, expansive, excited and open, and you’ll be actively creating the life you want.

ABOUT ME:

I’m a former international tax lawyer and senior partner of Ernst & Young in Toronto, where I serviced banks and other large multinationals and led a large group of professionals.

My life expanded when I left the law in 2014 to learn how to paint, something I’d always dreamt of doing, but had no reason to believe was possible for me. After a couple years of painting and selling my work, I became passionate about helping other people who yearn to feel more personally fulfilled, invigorated and soul connected in their lives every day, and I became certified as a life coach.

I now spend my time painting, coaching, and creating live events at GRACE Studio (more formally, the “George Russell Academy of Creative Expansion”) in beautiful Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. And, of course, producing this podcast for you.
