In this episode, we are joined by the wonderful Shimrit Nativ, who works as a mentor, transformation and success coach as well as a mindset expert, helping hundreds of driven and creative individuals across the globe to create and sustain a consistent baseline of confidence, success and fulfilment. She is an accredited and certified ICF professional coach, Proctor-Gallagher consultant, an executive contributor on Brainz magazine and also a successful entrepreneur who has built a six-figure business in less than a year and made multiple pivots in her career as a musician, coach, teacher, mentor, manager, leader and mother.
THE PATH TO MASTERY
Shimrit firstly shares her experience as a musician, which started relatively later in life at 22. At this point, she had been living out in nature with no facilities, completely off grid, and working with a boy who suffered with cerebral palsy. This unique experience inspired her to begin playing the flute - she taught herself and her passion grew, and she began to teach others. At 27, she moved back to Jerusalem to study music at the university and went on to becoming a jazz musician. However, over time, Shimrit felt that the structural elements of jazz were inhibiting her creativity and wildness – and after a journey of healing and inner work she left university and turned her attention to writing music and singing. After a year of this, she returned to finish her degree as a composer.
Shimrit went on to record and perform her own music, as well as continuing to teach others. This was just one of her paths, and now at 44 she shares that she made many pivots in her life – it seems like she’s had at least three lifetimes in one so far! We discuss musical composition, and Sally shares her experience of this as self-expression. We pick up on the teaching thread and Shimrit’s interest in human potential and how this has led her to where she is now.
She describes how she was always drawn to coaching and connecting to people on a deeper level. Having grown up with a brother who suffered from cerebral palsy who sadly died when Shimrit was 6 years old, she has vivid and strong memories of him and how they would connect on a heart and soul level, since he had no verbal communication. Ironically, he was buried on her 6th birthday. She believes that his life and their connection gave her a gift of being able to connect with others on a soul level and help them realise their soul’s mission.
Shimrit has always been drawn to looking at human potential and success. She quotes Earl Nightingale’s definition of success as a ‘progressive realisation of a worthy ideal’. The worthy ideal being what we desire, and the knowledge that we are worthy of becoming the fullest version of ourselves and living that desire in the physical form. We discuss the difference between a societal ideal of success and our own personal success which is an inner journey of an individual.
We talk about how many choices we have in life and Sibby asks Shimrit how we can cultivate our intuition to help feel into the right choice. Shimrit believes intuition allows us to connect to spirit and our own souls to receive guidance from God, the universe, spirit or whichever term we use. She says we need to practice fine tuning the ability to sense and translate frequencies, just as we do with our five other senses. We discuss the third eye and its connection to the pineal gland, and Shimrit shares the training she did with Dr Joe Dispenza on how the pineal gland contains crystals which send and receive signals from the quantum field. We all agree that Dr Dispenza is bridging the gap between science and spirituality in a really accessible way, which is making such a huge impact on our culture right now since we are more rooted in science than religion.
Sally brings up DNA and ‘hyper communication’ – which is our ability to sense what is beyond the five senses, and how our DNA can almost relearn how to do this. Shimrit discusses the overlaps between her own spiritual teachings with scientific approaches. She describes her training with Bob Proctor, whose sacred practice was in-depth study of different texts, which he then aimed to present so that in his own words ‘a ten-year-old could understand it’. Shimrit learned a lot from him about how and what to study, and from other inspiring figures including Earl Nightingale and Neville Goddard.
As Shimrit points out ‘truth is truth’ - it doesn’t matter the source. It’s like using a different language to describe the same thing – whether it’s scientifically, spiritually, mathematically, religiously, quantum-based or both. We will find it with those who resonate with us the most. We are now in a time of celebrating people’s uniqueness and their own special way of delivering the truth. Sibby describes it as a beautiful tapestry of different truth-tellers and way-showers.
Shimrit shares one of her own personal experience of burn out, and how it was the most traumatic experience of her life. She realised that she had all the knowledge and was helping others really effectively, but she hadn’t applied what she was learning to herself. She had to take a complete pause in her business and give herself time to heal. It was only when she came back to herself through inner work, mentorship and study that she was able to close the internal gap and really implement the knowledge in her own life in order to create external results.
Sibby talks about mastering one area of your life but not all, and it’s important to recognise that. It can be frustrating when we can embody our own teachings in one area of life but not quite nailed it in another! But it’s all part of the process and we learn from the most difficult of challenges. We are never perfect. Sometimes it’s in these times of collapse and stillness that we hear the quiet whispers of our souls. Hmm, great name for a podcast that is!
