The Epstein Files and the Breaking of the Iconized
Influencers, celebrities, and the weathy–they have the megaphone in our society.
And maybe it’s time to acknowledge that sometimes this megaphone is coming from a messy human potentially lost in their own ego, in their own suffering, in their own need to heal.
I honestly can’t dive too deeply into the Epstein files here as it hurts my heart to such an intensity.
But everything that is coming to light is both unfathomable but also mirroring back to all of us that it’s time to stop giving up our empowerment and enabling our society to be run by the wealthy, by the iconized, by the celebrity, by the influencer, and especially by those who abuse, manipulate, and control with power.
Shame Around Life Ending Thoughts
I was so terrified of these thoughts and I was filled with so much shame that I actually expanded and perpetuated these thoughts. They became bigger because I kept trying to push them away. They become more prevalent because I kept trying to disassociate and disconnect from them. I kept thinking that I am NOT the kind of person that has these thoughts. And so they followed me around like a little puppy dog for years. Because I couldn’t face them. And I didn’t fully understand them.
Go-Mode
My ‘go-mode’ led me to an intense adrenal fatigue burnout, to health problems, to emotional instability, to living a life filled with stress, to exhaustion, to holding on to way too much in my body, and constant overwhelm within my nervous system. This is not the picture of wholesomely thriving.
I didn’t know that there was another option. Another way to live. This is what I was used to. This is what was expected of me. This is what our workplaces expect of us. This is what our parents expect of us. This is what society expects of us.
Remember to Come from the Heart
It is time for us all to remember what it is like to also live from our hearts. Because just living from the mind leaves us disconnected from our love. Disconnected from our true life force power.
Giving Up Your Empowerment
Empowerment represents the process of enabling individuals or groups to gain control over their own lives and make independent choices.
I much prefer the word empowerment vs. power. Empowerment is about YOU. It’s about gaining freedom and sovereignty over your own life. It’s never about controlling others or gaining a foot hold over others. Empowerment is a unifying word where everyone comes into their own force and light within, whereas power to me is an external force of duality where one group always loses.
In this day in age our white, heterosexual, male dominated, controlled, suppressed system has held the traditional construct of ‘power’ for far too long. But that is coming to a close.
The Divine Feminine
Our world, both our inner worlds and outer worlds, are incomplete without the magnificence of the divine feminine.
After thousands and thousands of years of patriarchal domination–the time has come to honor the mighty truth of the divine feminine and bring ourselves into completeness through the perfection of male/female perfect unity.
Enough is enough. It is time.
It is time for the feminine to awaken within all of us–not just women. It is time to unleash the healing womb, the intuition, the creativity, the magic of the divine feminine.
Choices and Discernment
The outside world is a direct reflection of our collective consciousness’ inner world. If you are divided within yourself this is going to reflect and refract division in the outside world.
But we all have a choice. Are we going to keep judging? Are we going to keep the ‘other’ at arms length? Are we going to be so sure in our truth that we can’t accept anyone else’s truth? Are we going to be blinded by our own hurting heart?
Afraid of Myself
My deep seeded fear was a catalyst and guiding post back to the divine love that I am. It forced me to succumb to my entire being to faith, it forced me to let go into the trust of my divine self, it forced me back into the empowered goddess that I am. While simultaneously creating new neuro pathways in the collective consciousness to release and transcend fear.
Reflected Opposites
For to truly know oneself, the surest way is to be reflected in the opposite of yourself. And know that it is always just that–a refraction hologram of your true self.
Surrender and the Baseball Analogy
Why is surrendering so fundamentally key?
Because we are shifting and surrendering from living purely from our ego based human side to coming into perfect union and wholeness of the full spectrum of who we are–the divine, human and both at the same time. To surrender is to surrender into the divinity and truth of who we really are. We are not just these human bodies, we are energetic, ethereal beings having a human experience for our own enjoyment, growth, experiences, learning and knowing of the full spectrum of the potentialities of what we can truly become.
The Realness of Life
We are here to embody ALL that we are and show up fully. Show up so completely and fully with our loving and beautiful hearts and to experience and expand and evolve on this glorious mother earth.
And that is not ‘being’ spiritual. That is simply having an experience on earth.
I have traversed the self-actualization journey, but I am also a mom of two wild boys, a wife, a colleague, a friend.
Your Vibration Determines Your Life
When I was being catapulted into the Dark Night of the Soul, I had a profound and somewhat shocking realization that we create our lives. We create our worlds. The outside world is a direct reflection of our inner world. It’s a mirror.
Let the ‘how’ lead your ‘what’ in life.
No external ‘what’ no matter how hard you try, will ever truly shift your ‘how.’
That can only come from within. From going within. From bringing awareness to yourself and your state of being. Shining a light in the cracks and the pieces of yourself that you don’t like. Being really, really honest with yourself. And then surrendering to the light within you. And letting it transform and transcend.
How are you approaching your day?
When we are in a state of alignment, of ease, of peace, of calm, of flow. When we approach life not just from our intellectual minds, but from our entire being, and especially from an aligned wholeness of all that we truly are–life blossoms.
Love Yourself
We all have pieces within us that we don’t like. Facets of ourselves that are difficult to swallow or come to terms with. In our humanity, in our humanness we are both perfect and messy all at the same time.
Critique
Critique is not helpful. It stunts flow. It stunts alignment. It stunts beauty. It stunts innovation. And it stunts creativity.
I held a corporate style job where I was so overly critiqued that I was like why am I even here. What is the point. Critique puts limitations on the world. It pulls us back from the everything is possible to the impossible.
True Growth
What is true growth? It is when you completely and utterly surrender an old part of yourself. And finally let go of that part of you to truly transcend it with the beautiful light and love of source.
This is very different from intellectual growth. Or learning something new. Or Intellectalizing something in your brain. When you intellectualize something and learn that is growth that entails only a small piece of your true self.
Alignment Marketing
As I have since transitioned out of the world of the traditional workplace, I have had some realizations surrounding the future of marketing and what marketing might look like as the planet’s shift in consciousness continues.
Shift Parenting Burnout
But the burnout is there for a reason. It’s a flashing sign saying this structure, this system is no longer working. It’s time to shift. It’s time to shift to lives that are filled with more time for family, more joy, slower paced lives filled with peace and love, alignment to our true values, loving flow and creativity. True freedom and space to blossom as individuals, as parents, as colleagues and as community members.
What is Motivating You: Fear or Love
So much of our world is driven by fear. So many underlying motivations stem from fears. And half the time, we don’t even realize that fear is the underlying motivation.
I just departed a corporate company where much of the culture was driven by fear. And what is quite wild is that everyone was used to this and ok with this. Fear manifests in different ways such as control, a sense of lack, unfulfillment, judgement, etc.
