We were lucky to catch up with Kimberly Beam recently and have shared our conversation below.

Kimberly, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?

I decided in high school to become an English teacher and writer. I graduated from college with a double major in Middle School and English. I also had a minor in Secondary Education. I earned my masters in creative writing in 2002 and my master’s thesis, an adolescent lit novel was published a year or two after graduation – it is now out of print. I taught middle school and high school for a total of 12 years and I wasn’t satisfied. I kind of felt like Belle in Beauty and the Beast (Disney version), “there must be more to this provincial life.” In 2010, I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma – facing death and surviving altered me – transformed me. I realized I wanted more and I wasn’t going to let fear stop me. I went back to grad school and earned a second masters degree in Social Work. I manifested a large amount of money and now I am using that money to create Social Work Your Life and an avenue to share my intuitive gifts with the world. I want others who are hungry for more to find ways to create lives they love. I want to help others to not feel trapped, stuck, hopeless, or despondent because the path doesn’t seem clear. My mission is to help people find their way in the world so they know they are heading toward a vision that fills them with hope and joy – just as I am doing.

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

Social Work Your Life and my new offshoot – Intuitive Insights with Kim Beam – creates a place for people to find support as they look to transform and create lives they love. Having not had a satisfying first career as a middle school and high school English teacher, and a bit of struggle in my second career as a hospital social worker, I am creating Social Work Your Life as a place where people are seen, understood, and supported as they find a path that will bring them to more joy and happiness. I have courses on my website SocialWorkYourLife.com. I have an already established podcast that explores ways to create transformation in one’s life. I have a second podcast forthcoming – Intuitive Insights – where I give intuitive readings to podcast attendees. I am also opening the doors to be an inspirational speaker, helping people find their core values and personal mission, and then help them find the path that leads them there in their own lives – no matter how stuck, overwhelmed, or trapped they feel. My goal is empower people to make small 1% changes daily that leads to 356% change by the end of the year, propelling people into the lives they have only previously dreamed of living. But with support, encouragement, and self-confidence, people make their dreams a living reality.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

A lesson I had to unlearn comes around my beliefs about money. When I was younger, I walked around saying I hated money. My father, an accountant, said I didn’t hate money. He said, “You hate the lack of money.” I had to change my mindset around money completely. I had to learn that money is energy and energy is a vibration. I had to learn about my thoughts and how they create feelings. I had to learn what it feels like to have a lot of money, even when I didn’t at the time. I would walk down a major hallway in the hospital where I worked, a hallway that was carpeted and filled with top administrators, like the president of the hospital or the CEO of the entire organization, and I would imagine money falling in the hallway and as I walked, I imagined myself opening my mouth and swallowing all of the 20’s, 50’s, and 100’s whole. I had to learn to appreciate the energy of money and love the way having a lot of money felt. Then, when the money came in, I was in the right place vibrationally to receive it.

Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?

This is an interesting question to me because there is so much that influences me – and so much that doesn’t. I lived with a guy for about 2 years. When he moved out, he took his TV with him. My father kept offering to replace it, but I refused. Even now, I don’t have a TV and he moved out in the spring of 2019. I heard a long time ago that what you put into your body is what you get out of your body. I figured the same thing applies to my brain, so I limit what I watch and what I put into my thoughts. I listen to books on tape while doing the dishes or cooking. I watch specific YouTube videos for content I subscribe. I take classes and seminars. There are a number of people who have helped influence who I have become: Esther Hicks and her book Ask and It is Given has be read and reread so many times, it’s falling apart. Gabby Bernstein’s The Universe Has Your Back and Superattractor. Neville Goddard’s complete works. I found the MindValley platform to be a huge resource to me as an entrepreneur, but also as a human being. Their WildFit program transformed my relationship with food and with my body. Their LifeBook program made me change the way I saw myself, I saw my life, and I saw my relationships. It helped me step up and say, “No,” when my boundaries were being violated and my core needs were not being addressed. Both of these programs have helped me gain confidence and inner strength. I am a meditator and that training keeps me grounded and secure and my process. It also helps me to know when I am out of alignment and helps me shift back into my purpose and goals when I become stressed and off-track. By not having noise in my house, by not having a TV, I am able to focus on the things that really matter and get back to the core of who I am.
