Daily Inspiration: Meet Beth McGill

Published on https://voyagedenver.com/interview/daily-inspiration-meet-beth-mcgill/

Today we’d like to introduce you to Beth McGill.

Hi Beth, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I was born in Los Angeles, and my childhood was set against a dirty, dismal, dreary gray concrete jungle. It was suffocating. So the moment I could (at only 17!!), I moved to San Luis Obispo to attend Cal Poly, which was GLORIOUS. I loved it so much that I worked multiple jobs in order to be able to afford to stay in the area.

I got married and had 2 (absolutely wonderful) children…but my marriage wasn’t healthy, as my husband struggled with addiction – again, I felt like I was suffocating. I knew I had to get out, so I went back to school to get my teaching credential (at night – I still had to teach during daylight hours…oh, and be a mom to two boys!).

When I graduated, I immediately began substitute teaching. We moved to a ranch where the children could run (and I could finally have some animals!)…but my husband’s job required him to be away for months at a time – which made me the primary parent and caretaker…not too long after, my husband left after Christmas, and never returned. I filed for divorce and put my whole self into my children (my 2 boys + the 25 in my classroom).

I taught for 20 years and loved educating young minds – 3rd graders are so much fun!! I was able to use my knowledge of agriculture and the environment to develop and build (with a LOT of help!) a 5,500-square-foot garden (that is still thriving today!!) so that the children could learn where food actually comes from (and play with worms! LOL).

But, as a single parent, I quickly realized that my pension wasn’t going to be enough for me to live on if I wanted more than just to “scrape by.” This thought nagged at me, so I began to research investing and financial planning…

So I joined a financial services company and became fully licensed as a financial advisor 6 months later…which meant I now had TWO jobs (because I wanted to help my friends and colleagues have a stress-free retirement, too).

In 2012, my mom passed away quite suddenly (she discovered she was ill, and just 2 weeks later, she was gone) – she was my best friend and my rock. I was crushed…but I think she knew I would be, as she had pre-planned her Celebration of Life, which was lovely – and during that, many of her friends came up to me and said they had a good feeling about the coming year.

Those who said the coming year would be a good one were right – in addition to changing financial firms, I also attended a one-day retreat in Santa Barbara designed to help us evaluate our lives – and it was incredibly insightful and transformative.

The host asked us a very important question: what are you doing between NOW and DEAD?

It hit me like a gut punch…because I didn’t know. This question continued to bounce around in my brain…so I started devouring personal development books (I read everything: Stephen Covey, Jim Rohn, John Maxwell, Brian Tracey, Tony Robbins, Malcolm Gladwell, Darren Hardy, and T. Harv Eker…and more) as I continued working TWO jobs.

I began maintaining a crazy-busy schedule (plus being a mom of two teenage boys!) for 5 years until my financial advising income exceeded my teaching income in 2015; I left my teaching career and became a full-time financial advisor.

Not too long after, I was invited to participate in a mentoring program led by a leader in the financial services industry – and I soon became a mentor for the program, even creating my own courses with a colleague.

I found that I loved mentoring and helping people. I not only taught them business skills but also to believe in themselves.

As an entrepreneur, I began to realize that while I was great at writing my business plans, setting goals, and figuring out the how…I knew that something was missing – I needed to look inward.

So I set my timer for 5 minutes, quieted my mind, and asked God, “Who Am I?”

And I realized my soul was screaming for more joy, more abundance, and more freedom.

At that moment, I knew that I couldn’t keep “waiting” to do the work I knew I was being called to do.

In January 2019, I felt a deep calling to take my teaching skills and experiences and use them to help others. I knew that I needed to teach others how to trust that they, too, are meant for something greater, that they can dream again, and that they can be. That they can do or have anything they desire. They can be excited and look forward to every day with joy, love, and anticipation!

I had my answer – and I quickly laid the foundation for my new business and started teaching workshops locally. I was getting amazing feedback from people attending my events.

Since then, a lot has happened and it’s all good. In 2020 I took everything I knew about the Law of Attraction and created an online course. In 2021, I created a group program and became an energy healer practioner. In 2022, I wrote my book, Allow Life to Happen and receive everything you desire! and I started the 2 year long process of selling my financial services business. In 2023 I published my book and associated journal and I became a Certified hypnotherapist. Now in 2024, I’ve created 2 signature programs – Wealth, Women & Woo and An Afternoon of Greatness. I also provide individual H.E.A.L. sessions. HEAL stands for hypnotherapy, energy alignment and love!

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It’s been a guided road, but I have trusted some people that I should’ve learned more about. It’s a learning process and I believe that everything happens for a reason.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I love teaching how to use the Law of Attraction to manifest your heart’s desires. I’ve written my book to provide all the exercises that were pivotal for me in gaining insight into manifesting. It’s a tool box filled with everything you need to know however, not everyone loves to read. So, I’ve created my YouTube channel to provide more information and to walk people through the steps and to meet them whereever they are.

In my workshops I’m able to provide more specific attention to where people are having blocks and then in my individual sessions, the magic happens.

I’m able to tap into God, Spirit, Universe and communicate with my higher mind (soul) and communicate with the client’s higher mind. We are able to find where the origin of their issues are and energetically release them. I also release soul programs, interferences, etc, clear relationships and activate positive attributes. It’s like having a conversation with your soul.

The hypnosis techniques and strategies that I use with my clients are specifically designed to help you achieve your unique goals, whether you want to:

Uncover & heal trauma
Receive guidance
Uncover unconscious blocks
Release subconscious barriers
Discover your purpose

Each session is unique to you, and the results are remarkable.

When you love yourself unconditionally, you will find it easier to express love to others. When you love and accept yourself unconditionally, you can love and accept others unconditionally. When you show compassion to yourself unconditionally, you can show compassion to others unconditionally. When you love and accept yourself unconditionally, you can finally HEAL.

What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
For spiritual mentors and channelers and energy workers it’s all a big change as we elevate the consciousness of the world. We are moving into the New Earth at the same time there are a lot of changes with our relationships with other planets and other beings…Big shifts are coming to be sure!
