Are you ignoring the voice inside? Discover powerful insights from Serin Silva that help you to tap into your inner wisdom and use it to make better decisions in business and for yourself. Unlock your inner voice and transform your decision-making!
What does it mean to trust yourself? In this powerful episode of the Business Growth Architect Show we are going deep. We sit down with Serin Silva, a former advertising executive with a massive career at MSNBC who left the corporate world to embrace her calling as an intuitive coach. How’s that for a career change?
Today Serin is working with high achievers who, even though on paper they have everything, they feel something is missing in their lives. Her work reconnects them with their inner wisdom to find the missing pieces to clarity, purpose, and joy.
Serin opens up about her own journey, the moment she realized she needed a dramatic and swift life change, and how she navigated the challenges of stepping away from a lucrative and high-powered career. She discusses misconceptions around intuition and why so many people ignore their inner voice, rather than reframing it as a natural and essential tool for decision-making. This episode is packed with spiritual insights like how to recognize when your intuition wants your attention to overcoming your fear and resistance when taking bold and courageous steps toward your goals.
If you’re ready to explore a deeper connection with yourself and find alignment in your personal and professional life, this conversation is for you.

topic. Welcome back. BeateChelette here, the host of the
Business Growth Architect Show,and today I feel like I'm
treating myself. I'm on the calltoday with Serin Silva, an
(01:07):
intuitive coach. Serin, I'mexcited to have you on the show.
Welcome.
Serin Silva (01:12):
Thank you. I'm happy to be here.
BEATE CHELETTE (01:14):
So for somebody who does not know what an
intuitive coach is or the typeof work that you do, will you
just share with our audience whoyou are and how do you help your
clients? Yes,
Serin Silva (01:25):
I am a former advertising executive turned
intuitive coach. As youmentioned, I combine strategic
business skills with intuition.
The intuition is there to helpclients by bringing quick
clarity and understanding ofsituations. Also, I have the
ability to see beyond whatsomeone thinks the situation is,
and that brings on rapid insightand clear action steps for
(01:49):
people,
BEATE CHELETTE (01:51):
one of the things I find really phenomenal,
the important or exciting aboutintuition, is that some people
have it, and they lean into it,and some people don't seem to
have it. But is that even a truestatement? Not in
Serin Silva (02:07):
my experience, in my experience, everyone has it.
We just choose, eitherconsciously or unconsciously, if
we should access or use it. Youhad
BEATE CHELETTE (02:17):
said something really interesting to me. You
said that it is actually a kindof a superpower or kind of a
weapon. So can you share alittle bit more about that?
Because I find it sofascinating. Never heard that in
this context. Yes.
Serin Silva (02:29):
So every animal, by design, has some sort of
inherent defense mechanism. Forhuman beings, it's been said
that intuition is our superpoweror our defense mechanism. So
when we're out in the wild, inthis context, dealing with
something really difficult,there is a built in superpower
that people have access to thatthey are not using for whatever
(02:52):
reason. And so why not? Yeah,
BEATE CHELETTE (02:55):
it's so true. So let's talk maybe about sort of
how this shows up. I thinksomebody may say something,
like, I had a feeling about thisguy, or, well, I was a little
hesitant when I took the job.
How does intuition show up inyour work? Like, how do people
describe it? I
Serin Silva (03:16):
hear a lot of, well, I felt like that wasn't
okay, but I went ahead and, youknow, I did it, and now I should
have known better. There's a lotof like lamenting. There's a lot
of, well, I should have justlistened to that part of myself.
What's interesting about it isthat people don't trust it, yet
it's inherently built into theirbodies and into their spirits
(03:37):
and souls. Because it's notconcrete, therefore it does not
exist. But yet many people saythings like, I knew that, or I
should have listened to thatvoice. And it's it used to
irritate me, and I just find itkind of amusing, because people
are consciously choosing not tolisten to the deep knowing of
(03:57):
themselves in the spirit of,I've got to get it done, or this
is what they want me to do. Sowe reject our own inner wisdom
or inner compass. Why
BEATE CHELETTE (04:07):
do you think that is is this something that
we beat out of ourselves? Is itthat society doesn't give it any
value? Is it not in the logicalway we are trained to be in
business? Why is it that we thatwe acknowledge the voice and
then we give it no meaning? I
Serin Silva (04:29):
think there are a lot of reasons for that. The one
I most often hear where peopledon't go deep into is, well,
that's Woo, which is funny tome, because woo has no real
definition, right? It's slang,and it's American slang. It
could be because of, you know,many things have been written
about this. And I tried myselfwhen I first became of when I
(04:50):
started knowing that I had anintuitive ability. I started
reading about it to prove it, togo to all the books and to go to
all the people, and look atcommunities and this and that
the other. And I exhaustedmyself. But people, I don't know
why, other than they think,because they can't see it like a
pen or a book, that thereforeit's not real. And I, you know,
I don't know if it has time forwhen religion was first
(05:12):
developed, and depending on yourbelief system, people did not
want people believing withsomething within themselves.
They wanted them believingsomething outside of themselves,
right? And so, yeah,
BEATE CHELETTE (05:25):
I mean, I think that's really what religious
organized religion has done asan absolute disservice, because
you organized religion, it's aholy man, and only the holy man
has access to this information,and therefore you pray to the
Holy man. You give them yourmoney and your time and your
energy, and you cut yourselfoff, and then this holy man or
(05:47):
holy woman is then fullyresponsible for giving you all
the things that you now chose todisconnect yourself from. And
the deeper I go myself intospirituality, the more I realize
that it has a place in theworld, because a lot of people
(06:07):
do not have that trust inthemselves, but I find more and
more and more the people thatare coming to me and they're
listening to the show kind ofknow it's there, and they just
want to go deeper into it. So Iwant to go back to when you were
talking about so and I want ourlisteners to really understand
sort of the magnitude of yourcareer. I mean, you weren't just
(06:29):
at MSNBC a little bit well,
Serin Silva (06:33):
I launched the MSNBC brand, which was, yeah,
which is a combination ofMicrosoft and NBC, and
Microsoft's first foray intonetwork knows, yeah, I've been
at a lot of junctures of newtechnologies and innovations,
not by it just happened, right?
BEATE CHELETTE (06:51):
How does somebody like you then go and
say this insane amount of moneythat you're making, the status
that you have, the followers,the likes, I mean, the
invitations, the speaking that,the sharing. I mean, what
happened?
Serin Silva (07:14):
That's a such a big question, but So essentially, I
was working in San Francisco for20 years and built up an
advertising career. I wasworking for a company that was
owned by Hearst publishing atthe time, and I was going about
my day. I really lovedadvertising, and I loved my
work, and I never thought mywork was ever gonna stop. I
loved it that much. I loved itfrom the time I was 20 and there
(07:34):
I was 40, I was going over theBay Bridge and a commute on a
hot summer day, and I'd neverheard voices before. Never
thought of intuition before. Iwas on a well worn track. I was
a demanding advertisingprofessional. Never thought
about spirituality ever. Infact, my dad was pretty
(07:55):
religious, and so I was verylike anything that has to do
with that, I'm not involved, notinterested. So I was going over
the Bay Bridge, and also thisvoice said, How much longer are
you going to do this for? And Iwas like, Huh? And so I started
thinking about that in mycommute, I had about an hour and
20 minute commute every daygoing in and back. And I got to
(08:17):
my office, and I was, I had areally good relationship with my
boss. And so I said, or, youknow, I've been, I'm thinking
about, you know, would you guysever be open to me moving, fully
expecting her to say, no. Why?
Because, in advertising, youhave to work locally with your
team very closely. It was thetime when we were in office and
someone needs to manage, and Iwas working on 50 or $60 million
account and leading crossfunctionally. I was leading
(08:39):
about 40 to 50 people. The bestpractice always in advertising
is you, you are where yourclients are, and you are where
your team is. And she said, whydon't you put a plan together
and we'll present it to the CEOof the San Francisco office. So
put a plan together. I talked tomy husband. He's like, Well, I
don't know. We've never thoughtabout it because we were born
and raised in the Bay Area, soit wasn't like a little thing
(09:02):
we'd live their entire lives.
Our families were there, ourparents were there. And so I put
the plan together. My husbandwas open, which also surprised
me, because we'd never discussedit before, but it was open, so
doors were opening, which wasreally surprising. At the time,
I wasn't really conscious of it.
I was taking the idea justpushing it forward and seeing
what was going to happen. And soto happen. And the CEO looked at
(09:22):
me and he said, He's like, he'sBritish, man. He's like, we're
going to lose you if we don't dothis, aren't we? And I said,
surprisingly, so you could loseme if I can't do this, which
also surprised me, because theday before, I had none of those
thoughts whatsoever. Sureenough, he said, Yes. We went to
a couple cities in the country,Boulder and Austin, an eight
(09:44):
year old daughter at the time,and within four months, we moved
we found a rental home.
Everything was very easy. Idon't I don't know how to
explain it, that once we madethe choice, it was. All flow,
which I got the call, as theysay in Joseph Campbell's model,
(10:05):
I got the call. I followed thecall, and next thing I know, I'm
sitting in Boulder, Colorado,watching snowfall, after never
living somewhere where it snowedever. And was like, this is a
really interesting adventure.
And I was managing the teamremotely, and then flying once
and spending once a week in SanFrancisco. And then from there,
I just got the culture ofBoulder is very spiritually
(10:27):
open, very body centered, veryhealth centered. I was not a
healthy person at all. Neverreally thought about my health.
Always thought about achievingand so as I went about making
friends, they're like, oh, cometo this group. We're going to do
this. And so I learned aboutReiki energy and I was like, I'm
going to that'll be fun to try,right? So next thing you know,
this advertising executive withthis commute and all this
(10:48):
responsibility, was like, Yeah,I'm gonna do Reiki on the
weekends. I'm gonna do someenergy healing. Never thought
about that either. And then fromthere, I started getting
messages when I would do theenergy healing, which really
surprised me. I would put myhands on someone do the energy
work, and I would just be like,Oh, they're not well or this is
going on. And I'm like, Why do Iknow this? And my husband said
to me, I think you are psychic.
(11:12):
And I said, I think that'sridiculous. Literally, I was
like, That is the mostridiculous thing I've ever
heard. He's like, Well, youalways know things. And so I
went to my boss, who I still Ireally liked her, and she was
like, Oh yeah, I could see that.
And I was like, What is goingon, right? And from there, I
kind of fell down the rabbithole in a very fun way. And I
discovered I just love it. So Igot went on to be trained as an
(11:34):
intuitive. I went through ayear, year and a half program. I
discovered also I was able to domediumship. And then not easy.
And it just happened themediumship, like, one day we
were doing an exercise, and Iwas like, oh, and they're like,
that person's dead. And I waslike, Huh. So again, that risk,
trusting that voice and takingthat chance then put me on a
(12:01):
completely different trajectory.
And I'm not sad about that atall. I
BEATE CHELETTE (12:07):
find this fascinating. You know, the one
time when I heard the voice waswhen I thought I had achieved my
dream. I wanted to be a musicvideo producer. I finally had
achieved, gotten a music videojob. And so there's this moment
when the dry lake bed in thedesert, and it's about four
o'clock in the morning, and thetrucks are coming and the grip
(12:28):
is coming, and the catering, andeverybody's there, and I hear
this voice, and it says, youneed to do something way bigger
than this. And I'm like, Oh,come on. I'm finally, I'm
finally doing what I thought I'mgoing to be doing. And here's
this voice. Is that, yeah,that's nice, but no, you know
this is too limiting for you.
And then I ended up running aglobal a global business
(12:52):
licensing in 97 countries. So Iwould like to stay on this for
just a little bit more sure. Sowhat are you what would you say
to somebody who's listening tothis interview now and says,
Okay, I get it. She is the supersuccessful executive. And then
something happens, and she feelscompelled to lean into it. Was
(13:17):
this an easy process. Were youfighting it? Were you
surrendering to it? Becausethere's a lot of people right
now that are not happy, and theyhave this unspecific, undefined
sense of unhappiness, was thatwhat you experience? I know this
is like a very convolutedquestion, but I know exactly you
(13:38):
know what I'm where I'm tryingto get to. So go ahead, it
Serin Silva (13:42):
was a hard process, but also a beautiful process. It
was confronting the truth of whoI really was and having to shed
a well grained identity that Iwas proud of for over 20, 25
years, people thought it was alittle bit ridiculous, and some
people were not nice. And I'm asensitive person, right? Being
(14:05):
intuitive, I'm really sensitiveto energy and sensitive to
people's feedback, and all of uswant to be liked and accepted
for who we really are. And sothere was a lot of shedding,
there was a lot of crying, therewas a lot of pain, there was
also a lot of excitement, a lotof joy, a lot of love. I didn't
fully rip the whole band aid offuntil about nine months ago, but
(14:29):
yeah, it was, it was prettypainful, because I think my mind
at the time meant you have tolet go of everything you've ever
been in order to embrace this.
And that actually isn't true.
It's this is an inherent wisdomin all of us, right? Mine's just
honed.
BEATE CHELETTE (14:46):
I think it's an evolution in in all the work
that I do, where I help peopleto identify or articulate that
it never is that you were meantto. To just burn all the boats,
and then that's that, and thenyou have to build new boats. It
just means a course correction,and that from there on,
(15:10):
typically the path goes intoeither this is the type of
person you need to work with,because you understand him
intricately better than anybodyelse, or it is a message that is
at that level where then peopleeither will bring you in to say,
(15:31):
can you help prevent thesepeople that are having these
powerful decisions to all walkaway, but to help them implement
it and then find more balanceand fulfillment into where they
are right now. So there's manydifferent ways this can go, but
because of that unique skill setof that high level expertise you
have, I already know, and that'smy intuition, is that this will
(15:53):
be an important part of whateveryou're building from here on
out. To say, if it builds onthat experience, then what could
that be? Or where could that?
Where could that kind of go? AndI think it's important Go ahead,
please. I just was
Serin Silva (16:08):
going to go back and say the reason why I felt
like I needed to burn down allthe boats is because people
really had a hard timeunderstanding this, and I was
trying to understand it formyself. And I really, as
somebody who's really workedhard on her career role, like I
(16:31):
had some embarrassment and someshame at the beginning, because
I was like, Well, what ifthey're right? What if they're
What if they're right? What ifthis is crazy. So the burning
down the boats was people werelike, what like? People were not
nice. I you know, it's not allabout that, but after having
that identity for so long,there's pain in letting go and
(16:54):
becoming and also recognizingthat's the natural course of
life, right? If you even look atnature, things must be shed. And
so the shedding process wasmessy, but so, so worth it. So
I've seen all the ins and outsand the stress of all of it. Now
I just have an extra layer ofknowing. That's what I call the
three wisdoms, mind, body,spirit.
BEATE CHELETTE (17:17):
I want to go now a little bit deeper into the
practical application of this.
Somebody listening to the shownow and saying, I feel like I
have some sort of a calling, orthere's an activation, or I hear
the voice, and the voice isalready pretty loud. What should
they do?
Serin Silva (17:35):
It's different for every person, but I think when
you are hearing that voice,you're at a crossroads to
decide, do I want to go discoverwhat this is, or do I want to
tuck it back in and keep going?
In my experience, I think theuniverse just keeps presenting
you with a message until youwant to listen, and it gets
louder and louder and louderuntil you do. It's up to each
individual and their comfortlevel and to listen for what
(17:58):
their gift is, or to decide theydon't want it all. And I'm here
to tell you, I respect both,right? The universe might feel
differently, but I respect both.
BEATE CHELETTE (18:08):
Yeah, I found that people, when they don't
listen to the voice, one out ofthree things happen. They either
blow up their health, they blowup their relationship, or they
blow up their career. Becausethat's, that's the only three
things you have to blow up. Andsometimes all of it, yep,
Serin Silva (18:22):
I've seen that more than once. I can also see it
once that's happening forsomeone. And I can see I call it
cosmic two by four, right?
You're just gonna keep gettingpummeled until you listen. And I
don't say that to make peopleafraid, but there is a universal
energy I believe, that is tryingto put you on the path. And the
(18:43):
path is usually something waybetter than you ever thought
that you could do. How
BEATE CHELETTE (18:51):
can we frame it for them? So that somebody who's
listening to this now and goeslike, Oh, my voice is pretty
loud, but I cannot afford to letmy job in it go, even though I
don't like it, and I really wantto do this full time, but I feel
like I can make any money withit. What can we give them based
on the experience or your workthat you're doing right now? To
(19:12):
say the universe is notpunitive. This isn't designed to
make you suffer, but they thinkthat it's not something
necessarily good. It's like adiversion, not an evolution. How
do we help our listeners to geta good mindset or a healthy
mindset around this? I
Serin Silva (19:31):
think it's a great question. I think the question
for the for each individual isreally, how do I want to use
this gift and to look at as agift? I'm being presented with
some information from deepwithin myself. How do I want to
use it? What could that looklike? Get curious. Have fun with
(19:52):
it. I think unfortunately, mediareally shows it as this scary,
spooky thing, and there's a lotof profiteering off of that.
Right with shows and paranormaland blah, blah, blah. I have a
friend who loves to watch thatstuff, and I'm always like, it's
so funny, it's not real. Sothere's nothing to be afraid of.
Because sometimes when I workwith people, they're like,
afraid, well, is something badgonna happen? Is like, am I
(20:14):
gonna have entities and telldark sounds like, let's not get
creative. Save your creativityfor yourself and for what you
want to make, build, do, see,explore, right? And at the end
of the day, if the informationcomes through and you don't want
to act on it, don't it's justbeing presented to you as an
option. But Isn't it worth it tojust take a look at the
information. Just look at it.
You don't have to put it in yourcart if you don't want
BEATE CHELETTE (20:38):
to. I like this idea to say, in my experience,
you don't heed the voice. Itdoes get worse, and often with
really terrible consequences. SoI want to talk about this idea
of the matrix you also use,which is why I think we felt so
connected, right? It's a termI've been increasingly using.
And the matrix is this idea thatwhat you've been told to you
(21:02):
have to achieve is is the answerto everything. I work with a lot
of high net worth individuals,and they've been told that if
they make the money, then lifewould be amazing, and they have
no more problems, because theynow have money, and the matrix
tells them you're no longerallowed to talk about anything
(21:23):
negative, because, after all,you have money. So they are
being pushed in horribleisolation and despair, because
now they have the money and theycan't even talk to anybody about
anything anymore, because thenpeople would say, Well, you have
more money than God. Whatproblem could you potentially
have? Can you give us adefinition of the matrix as
you're referring to? Yeah? Well,
Serin Silva (21:45):
the first time I heard about the matrix, I was
like, that seems ridiculous.
I'll be honest with you, thefirst time I heard it, and then
I was like, hmm, I got curious.
And I was like, there's almosttwo spaces. There's the known
space, the logic flow. You areborn, you go to school, if you
(22:07):
get married, you have kids,whatever. You work hard, you
have the money. That's what youwere just talking about. That's
one that, to me, is the matrix,right? Everything's already pre
chewed for you. You're going tofollow these steps and you're
going to get to the money, butthe money is not the end goal.
The money is merely the vehicleto accelerate right where you're
(22:30):
going to go. That's the way Ilook at it. And there's the
other reality, which for me, isthe existing world as I know it,
and then the spiritual worldthat is unseen. We call it the
unseen, and it's our intuition.
It's our inner knowing. It's ourconnection nature. It's our
connection to the earth. It'sour deep listening, right? And
it's our reverence for all life.
(22:54):
Oh, so I like to look at it likethis, like they're together, but
90% of the world operates in thematrix, whether by choice or by
the reality of what they've comeinto. But when you hear a voice,
that is the invitation to listenand look outside of what's in
front of you. So if you're ahigh net worth individual and
(23:14):
you're super frustrated, why notgo inside? Right? Get curious,
the outside world can no longersatisfy you. You pushed all the
bounds. You played the gamevery, very well.
Congratulations. Why are you sounhappy? Because you don't know
what you want inside. You don'tknow who you are inside. You
haven't been listening to thevoice, and maybe you haven't
been listening to the voiceenough. So my invitation to
(23:37):
those people is, how can youtrust that part of yourself and
allow it to unfold. So
BEATE CHELETTE (23:42):
they come to you now, certain, yeah, and now they
say, I'm very successful. I myrelationships. I got some
physical stuff going on, youknow, maybe you had a test,
liver, kidney, heart, whatever,and the doctor said, I need to
make changes. It's not that I'mparticularly unhappy, per se,
(24:06):
but I feel anxious. How do youtake them and help them
understand some of thisawareness that they now need to
be building to start the journeyinside? And is there resistance
when they do? I
Serin Silva (24:20):
see this a lot, and sometimes the more affluent the
person, the more disconnectedthey are from their own wants,
needs, heart sold so they knowsomething's missing. That's why
they found me typically, and Irecently coached someone who was
in high resistance, so wantedaccess to the information within
(24:41):
themselves that we would havesessions and they just weren't
willing to drop down intothemselves. I think it was too
scary, but I really like to lookat what is your aliveness. How
alive are you actually, right?
When was the last time you feltjoy? When was the last time you
felt. Creative. You can have allthe stuff in the world, and I'm
not here to judge you if you do,but how alive are you? So it
(25:04):
really depends on individual.
Like I said, the more affluentthe person, the more
disconnected they tend to befrom the self. There's this
invitation to do the work, andso we talk about that. I will
use intuitive tools to try tokind of pry open the muscle,
right? Um, I will use somaticpractices. I will use coaching
(25:26):
techniques, depending on theperson, and sometimes I'll use
Reiki energy. But there comes apoint where you're at a door and
you have to decide if you wantto open it or not, if you want
to go there, yeah, I think that
BEATE CHELETTE (25:36):
was one of the things, really, what you said to
me in the very beginning, whenyou said you would like to be on
the show and talk about this,that you said that you felt that
draw, because I had reallystarted to step into this and
talk about this more openly, thestrategic and the spiritual
aspect of it. So would youdescribe this as because I think
it's important, maybe give apractical example. I had the
(25:59):
same thing, you know, when I wasin in my spiritual journey, and
then I hear the voice, and thevoice says, you need to bring in
more spiritual, spirituality inyour strategy. I'm almost
laughing. I'm a Germanstrategist, and you want me to
do what you want me to bring inthe spirituality. And then, but
the call was so unbelievablystrong. And then I realized I've
(26:19):
always really done that and thatpeople prefer to call it
strategy, because it's sointuitive for me, but without
the intuition, I couldn't bedoing the strategy. So how did
you recognize that? So can wegive maybe our listeners a
pointer to say this is the pointyou need to really be paying
attention to that this ishappening right now?
Serin Silva (26:42):
Yeah, it's a great question. So for me, I loved
each side of myself too much,and I wasn't willing to give up
one for the other. I wasn'twilling to give up the strategic
stuff. I wasn't willing to giveup the spiritual stuff. The
strategic stuff feeds me in adifferent way. So what I would
say, first year listener, isknow yourself. You should be
paying attention at a deeperlevel when you're giving
(27:06):
responses to things. One of theexamples I'll give people is,
it's really low level example,but I'll say, Do you really want
to eat that food? Like, maybethey're at someone's house for
dinner, and they'll be like,Well, I have to eat it because
they prepared it. And I'm like,No, you don't. And a lot of
times I'll say to my clients,I'll say, Okay, we have to move
the meeting. Is that okay? Andthey'll say, Yeah, it's fine.
(27:27):
I'm like, is it really fine? Goinside and ask yourself, it's
really fine. And they'll belike, No, I actually want to do
it tomorrow. Okay, then we'regoing to do it tomorrow. So how
do we honor the needs of theself in our everyday decision
making, right, and stop holdingthe facade of the matrix because
(27:49):
we're trying to make everybodyhappy, because in making
everybody happy, who's nothappy, probably you. I mean,
BEATE CHELETTE (27:55):
this reminds me so much of this when you were a
coach or consultant, and now itchanges the way you approach
working with someone. You and Italked about working together.
And we know there's somethingthere, but it hasn't been
materialized or formulateditself enough. So there's a part
about this where, with the salestraining and the closing and the
(28:19):
ratios and the KPIs and youknow, what's the volume of
potential contracts out therewhere there's a part of of me as
a business strategist where Iwant to go there and then say,
where I to close these five jobsby the end of the year, but then
there's this other part of menow where i i Go? No, I would.
(28:39):
It's just not there yet. It hasnot that is the clarity of what
it is that we wanting to achievehasn't come through yet. Enough.
How do you manage thisuncertainty of some of these
pieces? Right? Because we knowthat money is a decisive energy,
but the development to get thereis not always a decisive energy,
(29:03):
because intuition can be butit's not always decisive,
because this is an exploratorypiece. How can we get our heads
or hearts around understandingthe process without feeling, oh,
man, I didn't close that. How doI get out of that? And do I need
to be out of that in order to bein that energy? Right?
Serin Silva (29:23):
For me, it's a belief system, and it actually
goes also to how I was trained,which is, you have to trust the
divine timing, and you have totrust that the work is
plentiful, and you have to trustthat it will come the Clear Your
Own Voices. That's the processthat I use for myself. I have to
trust the timing. So forexample, if a client comes to me
(29:43):
and they're almost ready tosign, and then they're like, I
can't because XYZ, I'm like, Youknow what? This isn't the right
time. And sure that doesn't meanthat there aren't realities as
far as running the business andprofitability and all that, but
I can no longer force thematrix. Those KPIs on the energy
of the situation, and that is aconscious choice that I make.
(30:06):
Yeah, so you have to feelcomfortable, and you have to
trust something that you can'tsee, which is why it's a
process, and why I have to workwith kind of clearing the my own
resonance within myself. It wasa whole process of that, and to
be able to work to that point.
But even when I was training onhow to read, on how to see
intuitively, was like, trust,whatever comes up, some crazy
imagery would come up, andthey'd be like, go with it. And
(30:27):
so, and I feel like that's how Ifound you.
BEATE CHELETTE (30:32):
Yeah, I think that's a really powerful piece.
And you know, the perfect bridgefor us as we're closing out this
interview, to say so, forsomebody who has now heard
something in this in thisinterview, and feels a call or
draw to you. Where should theygo? Go
Serin Silva (30:48):
to serinsilva.com, they'll be in the show notes.
And I offer a free consultation.
I'd be happy to talk to youabout the challenge that you're
going through, whether it bepersonal or professional, and
then how to increase that innerknowing, open up the aperture so
you can start to benefit fromsomething that you already know
(31:08):
that you're just not using. Isay people are leaving half of
their money on the table, orhalf of the opportunity. If
you're not using your intuitivegifts, you're only leaving half
of your brain. You can read asmuch as you want, you can listen
to as many podcasts as you want,you can go to as many classes
you want, but you are not opento your own divine inner
knowing, and there's probably aton of information in there. So
(31:31):
I can help you unpack that, orat least put you on the right
path to unpack that.
BEATE CHELETTE (31:39):
Excellent I love that very much. I think that's a
great, great place to be, isthat this is, it's definitely a
poll, so if you feel the pool,by all means, reach out and make
sure you schedule your freeconsultation. Serin, it's been
amazing to have you on the show.

topic. Welcome back. BeateChelette here, the host of the
Business Growth Architect Show,and today I feel like I'm
treating myself. I'm on the calltoday with Serin Silva, an
(01:07):
intuitive coach. Serin, I'mexcited to have you on the show.
Welcome.
Serin Silva (01:12):
Thank you. I'm happy to be here.
BEATE CHELETTE (01:14):
So for somebody who does not know what an
intuitive coach is or the typeof work that you do, will you
just share with our audience whoyou are and how do you help your
clients? Yes,
Serin Silva (01:25):
I am a former advertising executive turned
intuitive coach. As youmentioned, I combine strategic
business skills with intuition.
The intuition is there to helpclients by bringing quick
clarity and understanding ofsituations. Also, I have the
ability to see beyond whatsomeone thinks the situation is,
and that brings on rapid insightand clear action steps for
(01:49):
people,
BEATE CHELETTE (01:51):
one of the things I find really phenomenal,
the important or exciting aboutintuition, is that some people
have it, and they lean into it,and some people don't seem to
have it. But is that even a truestatement? Not in
Serin Silva (02:07):
my experience, in my experience, everyone has it.
We just choose, eitherconsciously or unconsciously, if
we should access or use it. Youhad
BEATE CHELETTE (02:17):
said something really interesting to me. You
said that it is actually a kindof a superpower or kind of a
weapon. So can you share alittle bit more about that?
Because I find it sofascinating. Never heard that in
this context. Yes.
Serin Silva (02:29):
So every animal, by design, has some sort of
inherent defense mechanism. Forhuman beings, it's been said
that intuition is our superpoweror our defense mechanism. So
when we're out in the wild, inthis context, dealing with
something really difficult,there is a built in superpower
that people have access to thatthey are not using for whatever
(02:52):
reason. And so why not? Yeah,
BEATE CHELETTE (02:55):
it's so true. So let's talk maybe about sort of
how this shows up. I thinksomebody may say something,
like, I had a feeling about thisguy, or, well, I was a little
hesitant when I took the job.
How does intuition show up inyour work? Like, how do people
describe it? I
Serin Silva (03:16):
hear a lot of, well, I felt like that wasn't
okay, but I went ahead and, youknow, I did it, and now I should
have known better. There's a lotof like lamenting. There's a lot
of, well, I should have justlistened to that part of myself.
What's interesting about it isthat people don't trust it, yet
it's inherently built into theirbodies and into their spirits
(03:37):
and souls. Because it's notconcrete, therefore it does not
exist. But yet many people saythings like, I knew that, or I
should have listened to thatvoice. And it's it used to
irritate me, and I just find itkind of amusing, because people
are consciously choosing not tolisten to the deep knowing of
(03:57):
themselves in the spirit of,I've got to get it done, or this
is what they want me to do. Sowe reject our own inner wisdom
or inner compass. Why
BEATE CHELETTE (04:07):
do you think that is is this something that
we beat out of ourselves? Is itthat society doesn't give it any
value? Is it not in the logicalway we are trained to be in
business? Why is it that we thatwe acknowledge the voice and
then we give it no meaning? I
Serin Silva (04:29):
think there are a lot of reasons for that. The one
I most often hear where peopledon't go deep into is, well,
that's Woo, which is funny tome, because woo has no real
definition, right? It's slang,and it's American slang. It
could be because of, you know,many things have been written
about this. And I tried myselfwhen I first became of when I
(04:50):
started knowing that I had anintuitive ability. I started
reading about it to prove it, togo to all the books and to go to
all the people, and look atcommunities and this and that
the other. And I exhaustedmyself. But people, I don't know
why, other than they think,because they can't see it like a
pen or a book, that thereforeit's not real. And I, you know,
I don't know if it has time forwhen religion was first
(05:12):
developed, and depending on yourbelief system, people did not
want people believing withsomething within themselves.
They wanted them believingsomething outside of themselves,
right? And so, yeah,
BEATE CHELETTE (05:25):
I mean, I think that's really what religious
organized religion has done asan absolute disservice, because
you organized religion, it's aholy man, and only the holy man
has access to this information,and therefore you pray to the
Holy man. You give them yourmoney and your time and your
energy, and you cut yourselfoff, and then this holy man or
(05:47):
holy woman is then fullyresponsible for giving you all
the things that you now chose todisconnect yourself from. And
the deeper I go myself intospirituality, the more I realize
that it has a place in theworld, because a lot of people
(06:07):
do not have that trust inthemselves, but I find more and
more and more the people thatare coming to me and they're
listening to the show kind ofknow it's there, and they just
want to go deeper into it. So Iwant to go back to when you were
talking about so and I want ourlisteners to really understand
sort of the magnitude of yourcareer. I mean, you weren't just
(06:29):
at MSNBC a little bit well,
Serin Silva (06:33):
I launched the MSNBC brand, which was, yeah,
which is a combination ofMicrosoft and NBC, and
Microsoft's first foray intonetwork knows, yeah, I've been
at a lot of junctures of newtechnologies and innovations,
not by it just happened, right?
BEATE CHELETTE (06:51):
How does somebody like you then go and
say this insane amount of moneythat you're making, the status
that you have, the followers,the likes, I mean, the
invitations, the speaking that,the sharing. I mean, what
happened?
Serin Silva (07:14):
That's a such a big question, but So essentially, I
was working in San Francisco for20 years and built up an
advertising career. I wasworking for a company that was
owned by Hearst publishing atthe time, and I was going about
my day. I really lovedadvertising, and I loved my
work, and I never thought mywork was ever gonna stop. I
loved it that much. I loved itfrom the time I was 20 and there
(07:34):
I was 40, I was going over theBay Bridge and a commute on a
hot summer day, and I'd neverheard voices before. Never
thought of intuition before. Iwas on a well worn track. I was
a demanding advertisingprofessional. Never thought
about spirituality ever. Infact, my dad was pretty
(07:55):
religious, and so I was verylike anything that has to do
with that, I'm not involved, notinterested. So I was going over
the Bay Bridge, and also thisvoice said, How much longer are
you going to do this for? And Iwas like, Huh? And so I started
thinking about that in mycommute, I had about an hour and
20 minute commute every daygoing in and back. And I got to
(08:17):
my office, and I was, I had areally good relationship with my
boss. And so I said, or, youknow, I've been, I'm thinking
about, you know, would you guysever be open to me moving, fully
expecting her to say, no. Why?
Because, in advertising, youhave to work locally with your
team very closely. It was thetime when we were in office and
someone needs to manage, and Iwas working on 50 or $60 million
account and leading crossfunctionally. I was leading
(08:39):
about 40 to 50 people. The bestpractice always in advertising
is you, you are where yourclients are, and you are where
your team is. And she said, whydon't you put a plan together
and we'll present it to the CEOof the San Francisco office. So
put a plan together. I talked tomy husband. He's like, Well, I
don't know. We've never thoughtabout it because we were born
and raised in the Bay Area, soit wasn't like a little thing
(09:02):
we'd live their entire lives.
Our families were there, ourparents were there. And so I put
the plan together. My husbandwas open, which also surprised
me, because we'd never discussedit before, but it was open, so
doors were opening, which wasreally surprising. At the time,
I wasn't really conscious of it.
I was taking the idea justpushing it forward and seeing
what was going to happen. And soto happen. And the CEO looked at
(09:22):
me and he said, He's like, he'sBritish, man. He's like, we're
going to lose you if we don't dothis, aren't we? And I said,
surprisingly, so you could loseme if I can't do this, which
also surprised me, because theday before, I had none of those
thoughts whatsoever. Sureenough, he said, Yes. We went to
a couple cities in the country,Boulder and Austin, an eight
(09:44):
year old daughter at the time,and within four months, we moved
we found a rental home.
Everything was very easy. Idon't I don't know how to
explain it, that once we madethe choice, it was. All flow,
which I got the call, as theysay in Joseph Campbell's model,
(10:05):
I got the call. I followed thecall, and next thing I know, I'm
sitting in Boulder, Colorado,watching snowfall, after never
living somewhere where it snowedever. And was like, this is a
really interesting adventure.
And I was managing the teamremotely, and then flying once
and spending once a week in SanFrancisco. And then from there,
I just got the culture ofBoulder is very spiritually
(10:27):
open, very body centered, veryhealth centered. I was not a
healthy person at all. Neverreally thought about my health.
Always thought about achievingand so as I went about making
friends, they're like, oh, cometo this group. We're going to do
this. And so I learned aboutReiki energy and I was like, I'm
going to that'll be fun to try,right? So next thing you know,
this advertising executive withthis commute and all this
(10:48):
responsibility, was like, Yeah,I'm gonna do Reiki on the
weekends. I'm gonna do someenergy healing. Never thought
about that either. And then fromthere, I started getting
messages when I would do theenergy healing, which really
surprised me. I would put myhands on someone do the energy
work, and I would just be like,Oh, they're not well or this is
going on. And I'm like, Why do Iknow this? And my husband said
to me, I think you are psychic.
(11:12):
And I said, I think that'sridiculous. Literally, I was
like, That is the mostridiculous thing I've ever
heard. He's like, Well, youalways know things. And so I
went to my boss, who I still Ireally liked her, and she was
like, Oh yeah, I could see that.
And I was like, What is goingon, right? And from there, I
kind of fell down the rabbithole in a very fun way. And I
discovered I just love it. So Igot went on to be trained as an
(11:34):
intuitive. I went through ayear, year and a half program. I
discovered also I was able to domediumship. And then not easy.
And it just happened themediumship, like, one day we
were doing an exercise, and Iwas like, oh, and they're like,
that person's dead. And I waslike, Huh. So again, that risk,
trusting that voice and takingthat chance then put me on a
(12:01):
completely different trajectory.
And I'm not sad about that atall. I
BEATE CHELETTE (12:07):
find this fascinating. You know, the one
time when I heard the voice waswhen I thought I had achieved my
dream. I wanted to be a musicvideo producer. I finally had
achieved, gotten a music videojob. And so there's this moment
when the dry lake bed in thedesert, and it's about four
o'clock in the morning, and thetrucks are coming and the grip
(12:28):
is coming, and the catering, andeverybody's there, and I hear
this voice, and it says, youneed to do something way bigger
than this. And I'm like, Oh,come on. I'm finally, I'm
finally doing what I thought I'mgoing to be doing. And here's
this voice. Is that, yeah,that's nice, but no, you know
this is too limiting for you.
And then I ended up running aglobal a global business
(12:52):
licensing in 97 countries. So Iwould like to stay on this for
just a little bit more sure. Sowhat are you what would you say
to somebody who's listening tothis interview now and says,
Okay, I get it. She is the supersuccessful executive. And then
something happens, and she feelscompelled to lean into it. Was
(13:17):
this an easy process. Were youfighting it? Were you
surrendering to it? Becausethere's a lot of people right
now that are not happy, and theyhave this unspecific, undefined
sense of unhappiness, was thatwhat you experience? I know this
is like a very convolutedquestion, but I know exactly you
(13:38):
know what I'm where I'm tryingto get to. So go ahead, it
Serin Silva (13:42):
was a hard process, but also a beautiful process. It
was confronting the truth of whoI really was and having to shed
a well grained identity that Iwas proud of for over 20, 25
years, people thought it was alittle bit ridiculous, and some
people were not nice. And I'm asensitive person, right? Being
(14:05):
intuitive, I'm really sensitiveto energy and sensitive to
people's feedback, and all of uswant to be liked and accepted
for who we really are. And sothere was a lot of shedding,
there was a lot of crying, therewas a lot of pain, there was
also a lot of excitement, a lotof joy, a lot of love. I didn't
fully rip the whole band aid offuntil about nine months ago, but
(14:29):
yeah, it was, it was prettypainful, because I think my mind
at the time meant you have tolet go of everything you've ever
been in order to embrace this.
And that actually isn't true.
It's this is an inherent wisdomin all of us, right? Mine's just
honed.
BEATE CHELETTE (14:46):
I think it's an evolution in in all the work
that I do, where I help peopleto identify or articulate that
it never is that you were meantto. To just burn all the boats,
and then that's that, and thenyou have to build new boats. It
just means a course correction,and that from there on,
(15:10):
typically the path goes intoeither this is the type of
person you need to work with,because you understand him
intricately better than anybodyelse, or it is a message that is
at that level where then peopleeither will bring you in to say,
(15:31):
can you help prevent thesepeople that are having these
powerful decisions to all walkaway, but to help them implement
it and then find more balanceand fulfillment into where they
are right now. So there's manydifferent ways this can go, but
because of that unique skill setof that high level expertise you
have, I already know, and that'smy intuition, is that this will
(15:53):
be an important part of whateveryou're building from here on
out. To say, if it builds onthat experience, then what could
that be? Or where could that?
Where could that kind of go? AndI think it's important Go ahead,
please. I just was
Serin Silva (16:08):
going to go back and say the reason why I felt
like I needed to burn down allthe boats is because people
really had a hard timeunderstanding this, and I was
trying to understand it formyself. And I really, as
somebody who's really workedhard on her career role, like I
(16:31):
had some embarrassment and someshame at the beginning, because
I was like, Well, what ifthey're right? What if they're
What if they're right? What ifthis is crazy. So the burning
down the boats was people werelike, what like? People were not
nice. I you know, it's not allabout that, but after having
that identity for so long,there's pain in letting go and
(16:54):
becoming and also recognizingthat's the natural course of
life, right? If you even look atnature, things must be shed. And
so the shedding process wasmessy, but so, so worth it. So
I've seen all the ins and outsand the stress of all of it. Now
I just have an extra layer ofknowing. That's what I call the
three wisdoms, mind, body,spirit.
BEATE CHELETTE (17:17):
I want to go now a little bit deeper into the
practical application of this.
Somebody listening to the shownow and saying, I feel like I
have some sort of a calling, orthere's an activation, or I hear
the voice, and the voice isalready pretty loud. What should
they do?
Serin Silva (17:35):
It's different for every person, but I think when
you are hearing that voice,you're at a crossroads to
decide, do I want to go discoverwhat this is, or do I want to
tuck it back in and keep going?
In my experience, I think theuniverse just keeps presenting
you with a message until youwant to listen, and it gets
louder and louder and louderuntil you do. It's up to each
individual and their comfortlevel and to listen for what
(17:58):
their gift is, or to decide theydon't want it all. And I'm here
to tell you, I respect both,right? The universe might feel
differently, but I respect both.
BEATE CHELETTE (18:08):
Yeah, I found that people, when they don't
listen to the voice, one out ofthree things happen. They either
blow up their health, they blowup their relationship, or they
blow up their career. Becausethat's, that's the only three
things you have to blow up. Andsometimes all of it, yep,
Serin Silva (18:22):
I've seen that more than once. I can also see it
once that's happening forsomeone. And I can see I call it
cosmic two by four, right?
You're just gonna keep gettingpummeled until you listen. And I
don't say that to make peopleafraid, but there is a universal
energy I believe, that is tryingto put you on the path. And the
(18:43):
path is usually something waybetter than you ever thought
that you could do. How
BEATE CHELETTE (18:51):
can we frame it for them? So that somebody who's
listening to this now and goeslike, Oh, my voice is pretty
loud, but I cannot afford to letmy job in it go, even though I
don't like it, and I really wantto do this full time, but I feel
like I can make any money withit. What can we give them based
on the experience or your workthat you're doing right now? To
(19:12):
say the universe is notpunitive. This isn't designed to
make you suffer, but they thinkthat it's not something
necessarily good. It's like adiversion, not an evolution. How
do we help our listeners to geta good mindset or a healthy
mindset around this? I
Serin Silva (19:31):
think it's a great question. I think the question
for the for each individual isreally, how do I want to use
this gift and to look at as agift? I'm being presented with
some information from deepwithin myself. How do I want to
use it? What could that looklike? Get curious. Have fun with
(19:52):
it. I think unfortunately, mediareally shows it as this scary,
spooky thing, and there's a lotof profiteering off of that.
Right with shows and paranormaland blah, blah, blah. I have a
friend who loves to watch thatstuff, and I'm always like, it's
so funny, it's not real. Sothere's nothing to be afraid of.
Because sometimes when I workwith people, they're like,
afraid, well, is something badgonna happen? Is like, am I
(20:14):
gonna have entities and telldark sounds like, let's not get
creative. Save your creativityfor yourself and for what you
want to make, build, do, see,explore, right? And at the end
of the day, if the informationcomes through and you don't want
to act on it, don't it's justbeing presented to you as an
option. But Isn't it worth it tojust take a look at the
information. Just look at it.
You don't have to put it in yourcart if you don't want
BEATE CHELETTE (20:38):
to. I like this idea to say, in my experience,
you don't heed the voice. Itdoes get worse, and often with
really terrible consequences. SoI want to talk about this idea
of the matrix you also use,which is why I think we felt so
connected, right? It's a termI've been increasingly using.
And the matrix is this idea thatwhat you've been told to you
(21:02):
have to achieve is is the answerto everything. I work with a lot
of high net worth individuals,and they've been told that if
they make the money, then lifewould be amazing, and they have
no more problems, because theynow have money, and the matrix
tells them you're no longerallowed to talk about anything
(21:23):
negative, because, after all,you have money. So they are
being pushed in horribleisolation and despair, because
now they have the money and theycan't even talk to anybody about
anything anymore, because thenpeople would say, Well, you have
more money than God. Whatproblem could you potentially
have? Can you give us adefinition of the matrix as
you're referring to? Yeah? Well,
Serin Silva (21:45):
the first time I heard about the matrix, I was
like, that seems ridiculous.
I'll be honest with you, thefirst time I heard it, and then
I was like, hmm, I got curious.
And I was like, there's almosttwo spaces. There's the known
space, the logic flow. You areborn, you go to school, if you
(22:07):
get married, you have kids,whatever. You work hard, you
have the money. That's what youwere just talking about. That's
one that, to me, is the matrix,right? Everything's already pre
chewed for you. You're going tofollow these steps and you're
going to get to the money, butthe money is not the end goal.
The money is merely the vehicleto accelerate right where you're
(22:30):
going to go. That's the way Ilook at it. And there's the
other reality, which for me, isthe existing world as I know it,
and then the spiritual worldthat is unseen. We call it the
unseen, and it's our intuition.
It's our inner knowing. It's ourconnection nature. It's our
connection to the earth. It'sour deep listening, right? And
it's our reverence for all life.
(22:54):
Oh, so I like to look at it likethis, like they're together, but
90% of the world operates in thematrix, whether by choice or by
the reality of what they've comeinto. But when you hear a voice,
that is the invitation to listenand look outside of what's in
front of you. So if you're ahigh net worth individual and
(23:14):
you're super frustrated, why notgo inside? Right? Get curious,
the outside world can no longersatisfy you. You pushed all the
bounds. You played the gamevery, very well.
Congratulations. Why are you sounhappy? Because you don't know
what you want inside. You don'tknow who you are inside. You
haven't been listening to thevoice, and maybe you haven't
been listening to the voiceenough. So my invitation to
(23:37):
those people is, how can youtrust that part of yourself and
allow it to unfold. So
BEATE CHELETTE (23:42):
they come to you now, certain, yeah, and now they
say, I'm very successful. I myrelationships. I got some
physical stuff going on, youknow, maybe you had a test,
liver, kidney, heart, whatever,and the doctor said, I need to
make changes. It's not that I'mparticularly unhappy, per se,
(24:06):
but I feel anxious. How do youtake them and help them
understand some of thisawareness that they now need to
be building to start the journeyinside? And is there resistance
when they do? I
Serin Silva (24:20):
see this a lot, and sometimes the more affluent the
person, the more disconnectedthey are from their own wants,
needs, heart sold so they knowsomething's missing. That's why
they found me typically, and Irecently coached someone who was
in high resistance, so wantedaccess to the information within
(24:41):
themselves that we would havesessions and they just weren't
willing to drop down intothemselves. I think it was too
scary, but I really like to lookat what is your aliveness. How
alive are you actually, right?
When was the last time you feltjoy? When was the last time you
felt. Creative. You can have allthe stuff in the world, and I'm
not here to judge you if you do,but how alive are you? So it
(25:04):
really depends on individual.
Like I said, the more affluentthe person, the more
disconnected they tend to befrom the self. There's this
invitation to do the work, andso we talk about that. I will
use intuitive tools to try tokind of pry open the muscle,
right? Um, I will use somaticpractices. I will use coaching
(25:26):
techniques, depending on theperson, and sometimes I'll use
Reiki energy. But there comes apoint where you're at a door and
you have to decide if you wantto open it or not, if you want
to go there, yeah, I think that
BEATE CHELETTE (25:36):
was one of the things, really, what you said to
me in the very beginning, whenyou said you would like to be on
the show and talk about this,that you said that you felt that
draw, because I had reallystarted to step into this and
talk about this more openly, thestrategic and the spiritual
aspect of it. So would youdescribe this as because I think
it's important, maybe give apractical example. I had the
(25:59):
same thing, you know, when I wasin in my spiritual journey, and
then I hear the voice, and thevoice says, you need to bring in
more spiritual, spirituality inyour strategy. I'm almost
laughing. I'm a Germanstrategist, and you want me to
do what you want me to bring inthe spirituality. And then, but
the call was so unbelievablystrong. And then I realized I've
(26:19):
always really done that and thatpeople prefer to call it
strategy, because it's sointuitive for me, but without
the intuition, I couldn't bedoing the strategy. So how did
you recognize that? So can wegive maybe our listeners a
pointer to say this is the pointyou need to really be paying
attention to that this ishappening right now?
Serin Silva (26:42):
Yeah, it's a great question. So for me, I loved
each side of myself too much,and I wasn't willing to give up
one for the other. I wasn'twilling to give up the strategic
stuff. I wasn't willing to giveup the spiritual stuff. The
strategic stuff feeds me in adifferent way. So what I would
say, first year listener, isknow yourself. You should be
paying attention at a deeperlevel when you're giving
(27:06):
responses to things. One of theexamples I'll give people is,
it's really low level example,but I'll say, Do you really want
to eat that food? Like, maybethey're at someone's house for
dinner, and they'll be like,Well, I have to eat it because
they prepared it. And I'm like,No, you don't. And a lot of
times I'll say to my clients,I'll say, Okay, we have to move
the meeting. Is that okay? Andthey'll say, Yeah, it's fine.
(27:27):
I'm like, is it really fine? Goinside and ask yourself, it's
really fine. And they'll belike, No, I actually want to do
it tomorrow. Okay, then we'regoing to do it tomorrow. So how
do we honor the needs of theself in our everyday decision
making, right, and stop holdingthe facade of the matrix because
(27:49):
we're trying to make everybodyhappy, because in making
everybody happy, who's nothappy, probably you. I mean,
BEATE CHELETTE (27:55):
this reminds me so much of this when you were a
coach or consultant, and now itchanges the way you approach
working with someone. You and Italked about working together.
And we know there's somethingthere, but it hasn't been
materialized or formulateditself enough. So there's a part
about this where, with the salestraining and the closing and the
(28:19):
ratios and the KPIs and youknow, what's the volume of
potential contracts out therewhere there's a part of of me as
a business strategist where Iwant to go there and then say,
where I to close these five jobsby the end of the year, but then
there's this other part of menow where i i Go? No, I would.
(28:39):
It's just not there yet. It hasnot that is the clarity of what
it is that we wanting to achievehasn't come through yet. Enough.
How do you manage thisuncertainty of some of these
pieces? Right? Because we knowthat money is a decisive energy,
but the development to get thereis not always a decisive energy,
(29:03):
because intuition can be butit's not always decisive,
because this is an exploratorypiece. How can we get our heads
or hearts around understandingthe process without feeling, oh,
man, I didn't close that. How doI get out of that? And do I need
to be out of that in order to bein that energy? Right?
Serin Silva (29:23):
For me, it's a belief system, and it actually
goes also to how I was trained,which is, you have to trust the
divine timing, and you have totrust that the work is
plentiful, and you have to trustthat it will come the Clear Your
Own Voices. That's the processthat I use for myself. I have to
trust the timing. So forexample, if a client comes to me
(29:43):
and they're almost ready tosign, and then they're like, I
can't because XYZ, I'm like, Youknow what? This isn't the right
time. And sure that doesn't meanthat there aren't realities as
far as running the business andprofitability and all that, but
I can no longer force thematrix. Those KPIs on the energy
of the situation, and that is aconscious choice that I make.
(30:06):
Yeah, so you have to feelcomfortable, and you have to
trust something that you can'tsee, which is why it's a
process, and why I have to workwith kind of clearing the my own
resonance within myself. It wasa whole process of that, and to
be able to work to that point.
But even when I was training onhow to read, on how to see
intuitively, was like, trust,whatever comes up, some crazy
imagery would come up, andthey'd be like, go with it. And
(30:27):
so, and I feel like that's how Ifound you.
BEATE CHELETTE (30:32):
Yeah, I think that's a really powerful piece.
And you know, the perfect bridgefor us as we're closing out this
interview, to say so, forsomebody who has now heard
something in this in thisinterview, and feels a call or
draw to you. Where should theygo? Go
Serin Silva (30:48):
to serinsilva.com, they'll be in the show notes.
And I offer a free consultation.
I'd be happy to talk to youabout the challenge that you're
going through, whether it bepersonal or professional, and
then how to increase that innerknowing, open up the aperture so
you can start to benefit fromsomething that you already know
(31:08):
that you're just not using. Isay people are leaving half of
their money on the table, orhalf of the opportunity. If
you're not using your intuitivegifts, you're only leaving half
of your brain. You can read asmuch as you want, you can listen
to as many podcasts as you want,you can go to as many classes
you want, but you are not opento your own divine inner
knowing, and there's probably aton of information in there. So
(31:31):
I can help you unpack that, orat least put you on the right
path to unpack that.
BEATE CHELETTE (31:39):
Excellent I love that very much. I think that's a
great, great place to be, isthat this is, it's definitely a
poll, so if you feel the pool,by all means, reach out and make
sure you schedule your freeconsultation. Serin, it's been
