In our hearts, we all desire to be truly seen for the love that we innately are. The problem is we often find ourselves trapped in a painful paradox—believing we’re not evolved enough, aligned enough, or simply enough to share who we really are. This episode explores the common road we find ourselves on when we don’t feel witnessed from our authentic core, where we cling to false stories about who we need to become to receive love, praise, or validation. These stories become a thick veil obscuring our true purpose, keeping us from recognizing that our specialness isn’t something we earn—it’s divinely given the moment we draw breath. What if the very thing we’re searching for has been right in front of us all along, waiting for you to reclaim your truth.
What if the very independence you’ve cultivated to protect yourself is actually blocking you from receiving more of life’s blessings? This week the Divine continues to nudge me to see where I may be unintentionally blocking my ability to receive through the surprising shield of empowerment! I love to think of all of us as empowered. But lurking in the shadow of repeatedly saying “I’ve got this”—when the reality was I needed help—I was forced to address my shame around neediness. Can we have needs and be empowered? Of course! In fact, what I discovered is that being both capable and receptive is how we allow our hearts to overflow so we have more than enough to give.
You are spiritually-minded, conscientious, and by all means a pretty damn good person. So how on Earth is it that you, of all people, may be more likely to struggle to receive your desires? Well, it is often the well-meaning, but outdated ways we’ve been made to believe what makes us “good.” I invite you to join me as I share my recent experience with jealousy, how I saw my own self-sabotaging behaviors, and ultimately the gift I received from alchemizing jealousy from my heart.
What if the numbness you’re feeling isn’t a sign that something’s wrong with you, but rather evidence that you are entering a new phase of life? In this deeply vulnerable episode, we explore a part of the human journey that rarely gets discussed—that uncomfortable space where you feel stuck, empty, and disconnected despite having “done all the work.” Part of the reason this remains unspoken is that not everyone is called to go to these inner depths in this lifetime. This isn’t about your first awakening or your introduction to shadow work. This is about what comes after, when the Divine calls you into a deeper dismantling that has nothing to do with external achievement and everything to do with remembering the truth of who you are.
What happens after you finally do the brave thing? Here’s a normal part of the human messiness we don’t talk about enough: the anxiety that can show up after you’ve already taken the courageous step. My last two podcasts on a Priestess and a Pastor brought up what I call “ego backlash”—that last-ditch attempt of the ego to pull you backinto safety.
It’s like I’ve already leaped off the cliff—the episode isrecorded, the decision is made—but now my ego is frantically reaching back, fingers scraping against the rock face, trying to find something to grab onto. The thing is, I’m already in mid-air. The only way forward is down, into theunknown, trusting that whatever is below will catch me.
