We were lucky to catch up with Barbara Roux-Levrat recently and have shared our conversation below.

Barbara, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?

I had a Bachelors in Computer Science and an MBA. I was on track for a corporate career, when I realized that my personal life was taking a heavy toll on me – especifically my marriage.

I come from Latin America and had been raised to put my husband first, but ended up feeling disrespected and devalued by him. At this point in my life, I also realized that many women around me were facing similar situations, where we effectively felt like second-class citizens in our own home.

This led me on a path to uncover why this was and how we could improve our situation. My search ended when I discovered the power of coaching in helping individuals identify their childhood conditioning and subconscious beliefs and also how to change them.

As a result, I learned to connect to my inner power and follow my heart, which led me to divorce my husband and magnetize a completely different man, who respects, values, and cherishes me.

Out of this experience, coaching other women (and men) to connect to their inner strength in order to create the life they crave for, has become my biggest passion and mission in life.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I work 1 on 1 with my clients because this is by far the most effective and impactful work.

Most of my clients are individuals who I call “too nice”, who tend to put up with too much, not stand up for themselves, and not value themselves. This can be at work (they are overlooked for promotions), or in relationships (they are taken for granted, and often have been the victims of infidelity).

My expertise is helping them reconnect to their heart’s true desires, and become the assertive, confident version of themselves, so they can get that promotion, leave that toxic relationship, or attract the love of their lives.

I am most proud of my clients who have magnetized the relationships they always wanted, been able to leave toxic work environments, overcome burnout, or get the position of their dreams.

I firmly believe that if we still don’t have that which we desire, it is simply because we have subconscious programming running inside of us, which keeps us in the situations and relationships that are familiar to us. I would like people to know that changing those programs is easier than most people think – if they follow the right guidance.

We all deserve to live the life we desire.

Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?

The single most important ingredient to my success – and which is often ignored in our academic-driven world – is my emphasis on energetics.

My work has shown me is that most professionals have enough degrees and knowledge to succeed, but what they lack are intangible and immeasurable things like:
– the belief in themselves
– the energy of desire without attachment
– using their emotions to magnetize the results they want

In fact, it is well known that even the most educated professionals suffer from imposter syndrome and often a debilitating fear of “not being good enough”.

When I learned to tune into my energy and purposefully direct it towards the results I wanted, my practice did a quantum leap.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

The biggest lesson I had to unlearn was the belief that I needed to be perfect.

I had put so much pressure on myself to transform someone’s life in 1 or 2 sessions, which was simply not realistic.

I thought anything I put out had to be absolutely the best, and this just led me to procrastinate.

I was also charging what some “coaches” had told me to charge, but which simply did not feel authentic to me. This totally screwed up my energy. Because people can read our energy – through social media and everything we put out. And if we’re not aligned, if we ourselves don’t believe in our prices, we cannot convince anyone else.
