You Didn't Come Here to Be Like Everyone Else

Listen, you don’t need to be fixed.

You don’t need to change anything about you.

You don’t need to be anyone different.

I know you may be feeling like if you just change this one part of myself - then -

Then I will feel like I belong.

Then I will feel like I will be accepted.

Then I will be able to love myself fully.

But here is the thing -

YOU DIDN’T COME HERE TO FIT INTO THE BOXES OF SOCIETY.

YOU DIDN’T COME HERE TO BE ONE OF MANY.

YOU DIDN’T COME HERE TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!!!

And I know, on some level, you know that already.

You sense that.

And, likely, if you’re honest with yourself there is a part of you that has always known this…

Well, I’m here to tell you, that the freedom, the acceptance, the exhale you are seeking is NOT on the other side of changing YOU.

The freedom.

The liberation.

The sense of finally being at peace within yourself -

Beauty, that comes from BEING. FULLY. YOU.

Easier said than done, huh??

Trust me, I. Know.

From childhood through my mid-20’s, I felt like I was born into the wrong world, the wrong time period, the wrong life…

Nothing made sense.

People didn’t make sense.

The world didn’t make sense.

Why were people so preoccupied with trivialities?

Why were people so mean and judgmental to others?

Why did people NOT care about the depths, the miracle, the invaluableness of life?!?

Inside of me, there was love. Hope. Kindness. Dreams of light and magic and goodness! For the world, for my life, for myself!

But outside of me, I saw little of that..

What I saw is that I would be mocked, belittled, ostracized if I showed others at school and in my community what was inside of me.

And so, I did what I was taught to do - to fit into the mold. To be like everyone else. To f*cking hide the truth within me.

I grew up with shame around who I truly was…

But looking back now - how could a young girl so filled with light, and magic, and dreams of goodness ever be shameful?!?

After years and years of trying to change who I fundamentally was - because I thought that clearly - if everyone else was like that, then I would be happy if I could just be. Like. Them.

Finally, as part of my healing & spiritual exploration journey in my 20’s, it slowly began to be more & more clear:

I WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

And, rather than that being the greatest shame I used to think of it as, I learned on deeper & deeper levels within my soul:

THAT WAS MY MAGIC.

I didn’t come here to fit into the world and be like everyone else.

I was born because the world needed ME.

The world needed someone who was not like everyone else.

What the world needed was me - Being. Fully. ME

And, as it turns out, this is exactly what I needed too! All along.

So much so, that as I healed, and learned to shift, and unravel, and release and allow forth more and more and more of me -

I was literally healthier.

Health challenges I had been almost consumed by began to shift, to relent, to reverse as I allowed more of ME to be free.

Disclaimer: I am not claiming to be able to treat, diagnose, or cure any health condition and this work is never meant to be a replacement for proper medical care.

But what I know, is that as I shed the shi*t that WASN’T truly me, I cleared the way for more and more of my life force to flow through me.

Instead of stoppering the pipe - clamping down on the lid - strangling my self into being hidden -

I, finally, surrendered to my truest self.

And this is something I continually do as I grow, expand, and become more and more of me always!

This process of allowing forth the true me was one that took almost a decade - spanning holistic healing, meditation, spiritual psychology, Earth-based traditions, and so much more.

This is a process I know intimately well..

And a process I absolutely am obsessed with guiding others through, as we continually have new levels of our truest selves that are demanding to be lived through us.

I want you to be able to experience the free-ness, the bliss, the inner love that is available as you unleash more of the true you.

This is the intention behind my new coaching opportunity, Free Your Brilliant Self: A 5-Week Journey to Express the Truest You that is Yearning to Shine Forth.

Wherever you are in your self-liberation journey, this program will meet you as you embark upon a group coaching adventure that will support and guide you to birth the next authentic version of you!!!!

As we are in late summer in the Northern Hemisphere, we will explore Earth-based indigenous traditions regarding this season and the wisdom of the Sun. You will explore what brilliant expression of self is being called forth from within you at this point in time, and allow the Sun to be your guide as you embody your luminous self!

Along the way, you will be supported by me as your guide and connect with a community of like-minded individuals adventuring together.
