The story of my first, first class flight
I sat in first class and was treated like a Queen on the way to my destination and on the way home I sat at the very back of the plane next to the bathrooms, in the middle seat.
I don't think I've ever shared the full story of my very first, first class flight. It was such a pivotal moment of 'okay who am I here to be now? What am I choosing?'. We can all learn from my best and worst flight experience.
Ps... My newest course Rich Girl Era is now open, the course where you get to become the woman who holds high standards & sits in first class ;) If you're in the era of: I am no longer settling. I am meant to be rich. I am meant to make a lot of money. BUT ofc still be in my softness... This course is for you. (You can find more information here).
So let me take you back...
I gathered my new red, leather luggage and handed it to the driver in the black SUV. This was the dream luggage I had splurged on after staying at the Montage in Laguna and realizing my old, broken TJ max suitcase was NOT a vibe.
I made my way to the Delta check-in, my Chanel sunglasses on my head, my black Chloe tote, and my new winter coat that made me feel like a glamorous movie star. 'You look absolutely incredible', the attendant told me. I thanked her and made my way to boarding.
Moments before boarding, my old mentor who I sent a year coaching directly with (my first six figure investment) Facetimed me out of the blue. I've not spoken to her in a couple years. She was in tears, celebrating a post I had written, and wanted to reconnect/ send her love.
We both cried. As a tear rolled down my cheek, I said 'Melanie, guess what...'
'I don't know if you remember, but back on one of our calls in 2021, I had shared someday with all the traveling I do, I will be the woman who sits in first class.'
'And today I HAVE PAID FOR A FIRST CLASS FLIGHT!' We both giggled.
I made my way to boarding, this time I get to be seated first. As I sat in my seat, the very first one on the aircraft, I was handed a glass of champagne.
"is this free?" I asked the man sitting beside me. He let out a chuckle and replied, 'it is always free in first class. Is this your first time?'
'Is it obvious?' I laughed. We talked for quite some time about business, money, and entrepreneurship. I had conversations in first class, I had never had in coach.
I was handed the good snacks. Did you know first class snacks are WAY better - we're getting gypped in coach!
I got off the flight feeling like I'd been at a spa, feeling refreshed, instead of hurting, aching, and drained.
On the way home, I did not book first class. I was the last one to board. There wasn't enough room for my carry-on, so it had to be checked. My brand new leather carry-on got damaged & I had to have it sent in for repairs. I sat at the very back of the plane, next to the bathroom, in the middle seat, between two large men. One of them smelled, the other one snored. The snacks never came, as the turbulence got too bumpy for them to deliver all the way at the back.
I AM NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR THIS.
Now, it's not really about sitting first class or sitting coach. I realized this story was one big metaphor. It is the way I decided to show up for myself. It was a crossroads I got to make.
I can either be the woman who gets what she wants, is served in the most delicious ways, has money coming out of the woodwork for her, OWNS the fact that she is a in-demand, magnetic, successful entrepreneur...
Or
I can choose to tell the old story that things just never work out for me, there's never enough for me, and am not worthy of receiving more. Who am I to want that or belong there or charge for this or pay for that?
I have become the woman who the universe bends over backwards for because I set a strong standard for my life.
I did not just magically get here one day by chance. I decided this for myself and I took huge leaps of faith, broke all the rules, and decided to trust myself in order to be here.
I invested in high level mentorship, before I had the money.
I stayed IN it, even when I felt the most broken down and depleted.
I kept going, even in the hardest moments when I felt I was supposed to give up.
I put myself in spaces of women who think in a higher, more expansive way than I do and have what I wanted.
I did a lot of crazy things that made zero sense to 99.9% of the people in my world - like investing 5k when I had 2.88 in my bank account and investing six figures in a mastermind and selling all of my things and moving to a new city alone without knowing a soul.
I have always moved from where I WANTED TO BE, not where I was currently at. Rich Girl Era is the course to elevate to your richest, most magnetic version of you. This is where we create the rich girl identity!
RICH GIRL ERA is the course where you no longer hide behind your old identity of 'not enough'.
This is where you break through and start holding yourself in a whole new way of being, thinking, and acting.
This is where we combine the power of your RICH GIRL identity with your MAGNETISM to unleash the version of you who is here to receive lots of money, live her most luxurious life (whatever that means for you), and live her life deeply connected to her soul purpose.
(PS... If you join the Soft + Successful and take ONE YEAR to be coached by me, you will receive this FREE!) You can find details to my high level coaching mastermind here!
