Meet June Laffey
I live in the most incredible, energetically charged place at Topi Topi, 3 hours North of NSW with my very naughty labrador, Lovey. Incredible things seem to happen to me all the time. I grew up in a seaside town in England, Great Yarmouth, where there are more pubs per capita than anywhere else in the UK. I think I visited every one of them back in the day – several times! I am highly intuitive, and integrity, honesty is really important to me. As is having fun. You have to laugh.
What business are you currently running? |
|
| I am running a spiritual retreat, where people can learn to stop doing and be all they can be. | |
Assuming you are now in “Your Next Chapter”, what led you here? Was there an internal discontent or an external issue you felt strongly about that prompted a change in direction? |
|
| I asked to be of service after receiving what I felt was some deep healing at a spiritual retreat in Brazil. At that point, my life changed, and I started to receive incredible spiritual gifts. I was working in corporate, at the top of my industry as Chief Creative Officer in New York. I had been questioning my path for a while. When covid hit, I returned to Australia and realised I had no choice. I had been given gifts – I could help people.
So that is what I am doing now. |
|
What did you find most challenging about getting started/moving in a new direction? |
|
| Simple. The security of doing something I knew and was really good at that provided great financial abundance was hard to leave for something unknown. Especially when leaving to enter into something many consider woo woo – I totally outed myself only on my birthday on June 17. I have never been happier. | |
What have you found most fulfilling? |
|
| It is such early days in terms of starting my business, but I have been channelling for a while. When I channel for people and I see that light go on, or they feel the energy or physical shifts in their body, nothing compares. | |
Have you experienced self-doubt? What causes it to flare and how do you work through it when it hits? |
|
| Self-doubt is part of it. Can I make a living from this? And indeed for a long time, I felt my gifts are from the divine, so how could I charge for them? But the more I trust the more opens up. I haven’t really got time for self-doubt. I have a big job to do. To show people they can stand in their own truth, I had to do the same thing first. Lead by example. | |
How do you feel you have grown since you started? |
|
| I have learned my value. And as I trust more, the more I am given. I asked my guides what I needed to do on the one-on-one retreats – how would I possibly fill three days. And then I channelled an incredible Academy of Light handbook to help.
This is just one example. The more I trust, the more I grow. And this is my real growth. |
|
Have you developed any particular habits/strategies that facilitate getting things done in your business? |
|
| I am a lot more present on social media than I have ever been, I walk an hour every morning before I start work to clear my mind and set me up for the day. Plus I have a crystal bed healing at least four times a week.
I offer gratitude every day. And I plan content – but still allow to always be inflow. |
|
Why do you feel women in the 40’s and beyond make fabulous entrepreneurs? |
|
| We are very much more in tune with our intuition and really good at just getting shit done. Most females I know are also fabulous multi-taskers and nurturing. This makes for great teams. I believe that you need to empower people. My want now is spiritual empowerment, and waking up full soul potential in people. | |
What would you say to other women who are standing on the edge of their own Next Chapter, not sure if they can take the leap? |
|
| If you don’t leap, it’s hard to fly. Follow your intuition as it’s your inner voice – energy – that is leading you to where your soul wants to go. | |
What’s next for you? Share your vision with us! |
|
| Well – I keep channelling the Dahli Lama is coming to Topi Topi retreat! Others tell me that m my land is sacred and it will be a spiritual mecca with leaders from the world visiting. So what’s next is I’m gonna be busy!
