Book Review: The Big Leap

6 / 29 / 166 / 23 / 22

Synopsis:

“Gay Hendricks is a great role model for true success. He enjoys abundance and a deep connection with his own spiritual essence, and at the same time has lived for three decades in a thriving marriage. Now, he shows us how to do it for ourselves.”
— Mark Victor Hansen, co-author of Cracking the Millionaire Code

In The Big Leap, Gay Hendricks, the New York Times bestselling author of Five Wishes, demonstrates how to eliminate the barriers to success by overcoming false fears and beliefs. Fans of Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson, and The Secret will find useful, effective tips for breaking down the walls to a better life in The Big Leap.

What I say:

This is probably the shortest synopsis I’ve ever copied and pasted from Kobo. So I better do this book justice with my words 🙂

I loved this book. This book is geared to entrepreneurs, ambitious go-getters of the conventional kind and those obsessed with self-development. If you want to get to your zone of genius and are curious to understand what that term means then pick the book off your nightstand or bookshelf and dive in.

I had heard the terms upper limit problem and living in your zone of genius before by podcasters and entrepreneurs I expose my online self to but didn’t grasp the concepts fully. I had a big aha moment reading this book realizing that when things are good I always figure out a way to focus on a negative thing. I’m really really good apparently at having an upper limit problem. So it was amazing to understand how my brain functions in these scenarios and understand why I can move from these moments to living in my zone of genius and how to truly define what that means for me.

This is one of those books that you leave on your bookshelf and pick up and re-read because you’ll get a different nugget of wisdom every time you dive into his zone of genius.

God’s Direction: Blessing Us With Two Beautiful God’s Direction: Blessing Us With Two Beautiful Babies At Once

God’s Protection: Providing for us after I was fired from 3 jobs in a row since I found out I was pregnant. 

Story Time…

At the end of 2019, I signed a job contract that would move our family out to the west coast at the start of 2020. I resigned from the current job I was in and gave 30 days’ notice. 

2 days later I found out I was pregnant. I took a call from the fertility clinic in the boardroom of the office I worked at (it was the only place I could take a private call to find out the good news). I was fired the next day (after already resigning) for taking a private call and was told to leave the premises immediately. I was told I would be paid for 2 weeks instead of the 4 weeks that I had offered them in my resignation. 

Silver Lining: I fought their offer legally and was paid for the time I had offered them and got to spend a month at home sleeping during the first month of my twin pregnancy and packing for our move to the West Coast. The twin pregnancy was extremely exhausting on my body and I am grateful for the time I had to rest instead of working at one of the most toxic places of employment I’ve ever been at. 

Fast forward to January 6, 2021. I had been on mat leave since the birth of our twins in July 2020 and I had offered to return after a 6 month mat leave. I contacted my boss in November of 2020, to ask to go for coffee and discuss how the business was going and what my return to work would look like. I was ignored for months and finally, he responded to me saying he’d be happy to meet and cc’d HR to coordinate. I thought that was weird as I was just asking to go for coffee. After 2 months of going back and forth and meetings being cancelled and rescheduled, I was finally asked to come into the main office in January of 2021. I thought I was meeting with my boss but was greeted by HR. The audio you hear in this reel is them letting me go while on mat leave without cause. I then found out my job was given to the woman who was covering for me while I was on leave. After filing a complaint with the human rights tribunal I settled out of court.

Potty training is hard! Especially when we’ve be Potty training is hard! Especially when we’ve been doing it for a year with one of our twins.

And don’t come at me with “she’ll start when she wants to start” cause we’ve been starting since last December. We’ve done everything from potty training charts, to giving up and putting her back in pull ups to praise to negative consequences. If I was American I’d say “Ya’ll were tired over here” and doing a lot of laundry 😂

When deciding how we wanted to spend the holidays When deciding how we wanted to spend the holidays with our little family of 4 we wanted to prioritize our love language “Time Spent Together” so we created an activity advent Calendar to countdown the days to Christmas and do 1 activity a day as a family! 

Here is our son picking the day 1 activity which was simply a Christmas Colouring Page 🥹 Can’t wait to see his reaction for some of the more engaging things!
