Quiz Outcomes

1.
It’s Time To Take Care of You
You’ve been on the bottom of your own priority list for far too long! You deserve to have a life that is full of happiness and loving support from those around you. The best path to this new reality for you at this time is to go to therapy. In order to grow, you need to first be fully functional. This means that you’re not debilitated by depression or exhaustion from burnout and/or grief and you’re not experiencing flashbacks from past traumas. It means that you see things for what they are rather than clinging to a fantasy of what they should be. It means you know how to manage your anger and other emotions. In short, it means that you need to heal. At this time in your life, you would most benefit from going to a therapist. Do not take this as a judgment because it isn’t. We all need therapy from time to time. Get the help that is best for you. Please note that there are many types of therapy. If you are attracted to the work that we do, you will likely find the most helpful support in the areas of Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapies. We recommend that you start looking for a therapist with one or more of these certifications and then, from there, make sure to work with someone you feel safe with. When you have done some baseline work with a therapist, feel free to retake this quiz and see if you’re ready for the next step.In the meantime, you can learn a LOT more about yourself by listening to my podcast, Spirit Sherpa.

Create The Space To Change
You’re at a place where you want to grow, but your monkey mind is screeching so loudly that you are having a hard time focusing. Your daily life is taken up with thoughts of worry, dread, self-doubt, etc. You replay situations in your head over and over again trying to figure out what would have been the better path. You have arguments in your head (again on repeat) with people you almost never confront in real life. Even when things are going well, you’re constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. In short, you don’t yet have the bandwidth to grow because all of these thoughts are taking up too much of your brain’s computing power. You need to clear out the thoughts that are plaguing you. And before you say “I’ve tried to meditate and I can’t”, know that this is NOT what I’m talking about. Yes, a meditation practice can help with this, but it would take many years for it to really make a difference in your daily life. You need change to happen faster - like yesterday.The challenge isn’t doing the work. It’s in finding all of the pieces and then finding the things that actually make a difference. For this part of the work, you need to address:FearAnxietyWorryDreadSelf-DoubtInner and Outer JudgmentPlus, you have to build a foundation of self-support and courage.Oh and you’re an empath too, right? You feel what other people feel. You can get overwhelmed by other people’s strong emotions. It’s really hard for you to break up with someone - you keep feeling drawn to go back to them even when you know they are bad for you.As an empath you need to learn how to change the way you hold your energy to avoid these issues. I have good news for you. In your inbox right now is the first email in a series that will show you exactly how to do that. It’s my gift to you. As an empath you also need to know how to clear your energy field and energetically protect yourself and your spaces. Not being energetically protected and having an energy field filled with other people’s energies is causing a significant portion of your general anxiety.It took me about 5 years to find the answers to all of these questions (once I figured out that these were the problems - I’ve given you a headstart here).Yes, you can take this list and go find the answers for yourself. And maybe with this list, you can do it faster than I did. Or you can take the express train to live a happier life quickly.I can cut out the noise AND reduce your stress levels in HALF in just 4 months guaranteed or your money back.Welcome to the Woo: Dropping the Veil of Fear - In this program, we address all of the issues above AND we work with you on the energetic safety that is. This allows you to find the bandwidth within you to begin to work on yourself. Before you can engage in your shadow work, you need to clear the emotional and energetic decks.

Solidifying Your Sense of Self
You’re at the stage where you need to define yourself more clearly. You need to determine where you end and other people begin. It’s time to learn to:Take up space in your own lifeClaim your power and your desiresAllow yourself to dream againDe-armor your heart and learn to feel again (instead of managing your emotions by thinking about them)Internalize your sense of value (so you can stop asking for approval)Love yourself (and find someone to love you)Feel solid and comfortable in your own skinBy fully investigating and engaging your full self, you create an inner energetic container that will allow you to do your shadow work. Oh and you’re an empath too, right? You feel what other people feel. You can get overwhelmed by other people’s strong emotions. It’s really hard for you to break up with someone - you keep feeling drawn to go back to them even when you know they are bad for you.As an empath you need to learn how to change the way you hold your energy to avoid these issues. I have good news for you. In your inbox right now is the first email in a series that will show you exactly how to do that. It’s my gift to you. As an empath you also need to know how to clear your energy field and energetically protect yourself and your spaces. This is a complex process and while you could find all of the pieces yourself eventually, it’s faster if you just do my Woo Squared - Solidifying Your Sense of Self and Your Energetic Container program. In it, we’ll help you through all of the work above and more in just one year. All of this work took me over 10 years to complete for myself - and that was AFTER spending a lifetime studying personal growth and energetics. It’s not that the work is extremely difficult. It’s that it’s complex and finding all of the parts to the problems you haven’t even been able to fully define takes a LOT of time. Once you know what the problems are and how they interrelate with one another, then it’s just a matter of finding what works to fix them. I’ve done all of this work for you. All that’s left is for you to do the work itself - which is by far the easiest part.You can do all of this in just 2-4 hours per week. Most of the lessons are designed to be read/watched on the toilet in the morning. (You know you’re spending 15 min a day doom-scrolling anyway.) You DO have time for this.The question is: are you done being unhappy?If so, I encourage you to sign up for a Discovery Call with my team so you can discuss the program and whether it will be a good fit for you. https://kellesparta.com/discovery-call/Who Am I?My name is Kelle Sparta and I am The Spirit Doctor(TM).

Exploring the Self
Congratulations! You’ve fully defined yourself and are ready to begin your shadow work!The process of stepping into shadow work requires you to:Build the courage to face the things that scare youBe willing to look at the things that you don’t like about yourselfBuild a skillset of different tools and techniques for approaching the work - so you always have a tool that works for each situation (no, they don’t all work the same way)Establish a comfort with being uncomfortable - and in some cases being undefined - as you walk through the process of stripping away your masks Determination to see each process through to its completionThe ability and willingness to question your beliefs and assumptionsBasically, shadow work is about taking apart your assumptions about yourself and the world around you. You can do this on your own, but it’s not easy. It’s much easier if you have someone to guide you through the process of: identifying what needs to be addressed (the core issue, not just the symptoms), picking the right tools and approach to the workdoing the work itself and making sure you don’t miss/skip anything that would cause you to have to come back later.You’ll also need some tools to teach you how to accomplish the task. We offer all of these in our Woo You program. In this 12-month program you’ll learn everything you need to know to do your shadow work. We’ll give you the tools, perspectives, and techniques to facilitate your growth for years to come.This program will help you explore the furthest reaches of your psyche and map out your internal landscape.If you’d like to learn more about this program, sign up for a Discovery Call here: https://kellesparta.com/discovery-call/Who Am I?My name is Kelle Sparta and I am The Spirit Doctor(TM).

Sovereignty
You’ve been there, done that, in your spiritual work. You’ve stopped working on your pain and are now at the stage where you are actively seeking to optimize yourself and your life experience. Shadow work is a regular part of this journey you are on and you are well prepared to take it. Now, it isn’t so much about having someone else to help you on this journey as it is about having community at your level. You’re likely teaching/facilitating for others - or you could be. Finding people at your level of work is hard. We know this which is why we offer community space and advanced retreats for people just like you.If you would like to join our community and/or be added to our list of people who can attend our invitation-only advanced retreats, please sign up to speak with Kelle directly.https://calendly.com/kellesparta/chat-with-kelle-purpose - Please put “Sovereignty” in the discussion box.Who Am I?My name is Kelle Sparta and I am The Spirit Doctor(TM).
