Honoring Yourself
I am so excited for this new chapter. Last year brought its share of challenges for me—moments that tested my resilience and forced me to look deeply at where I was leaking energy. I decided to turn inward, focusing deeply on my family, my practice, and my own growth journey.
I feel stronger and more alive for it.
More than ever, I am committed to being the Director of my own life—and helping you do the same. I am embracing the fear that comes with growth and taking action, regardless of what others might think or feel about me.
Needless to say, this brings up resistance! Deep down, the "Good Girl" programming in us just wants to be loved, valued, and accepted. We want to keep the peace. However, I have learned a hard but liberating truth: Other people’s opinions of us are none of our business. What we think of ourselves is our business.
Does this come easy? No. Is it necessary for your emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being? Absolutely.
The Red Sky Metaphor Loving ourselves requires us to be authentically sovereign, even if it means going against the status quo.
Imagine waking up one day and your beloved—who is completely sane—tells you the sky is red. You look out the window and clearly see it is blue.
How would you react?
Would you abandon your own reality to keep the peace?
Would you try to force them to see it your way?
Or would you compassionately protect your boundary, stating what you see without needing to change them?
Most of us immediately try to change the other person. Why? Because our ego seeks safety in similarity, not difference. We find comfort when we can say, “See, I was right,” or “They think like me.” That sameness makes us feel safe and accepted.
But the moment someone sees the world differently, we begin to question ourselves or them.
From Constriction to Connection Dismissing someone’s truth—or diminishing our own to fit in—creates a somatic constriction within the relationship. It shuts down the flow of intimacy.
When we can honor our own view and allow others to have theirs, we create space. We build trust and respect. This is the foundation of deep vulnerability. To truly love yourself or another is to accept who you are and who they are, despite the differences.
Step Into Your Sovereignty If you would like to explore these beliefs and develop a plan to step out into the world as your most authentic self, I am here to help.
Through my Inner Mastery Coaching, we can look at where you are abandoning your own "blue sky" to please others, and how to build the structure you need to lead your life with love and confidence.
