It's December and many of us can feel BEHIND at this time of year. (At any time of year, actually! May this message find you at the most aligned time 🦋) We can feel like we haven't done enough and channel this feeling of unworthiness into all the things we hope to get done next year... but you deserve so much more radiant, radical love than that. If you feel behind in any way, consider this a love letter from me to you, bringing us home to love and y(our) inherent sacredness and divinity. Soul sibling, I'm sending you love & hugs today! 🦋
👀 FEAR OF BEING SEEN? My NEW free ebook, the Soulful Visibility Guide is here to support you.

hello soul sibling! wherever you desire to be seen, there will be fear... online, on stages, in classrooms, hosting events, speaking up in meetings or calls... the fear of being seen is all over our human experience, because it is the fear of judgment, social rejection, isolation, humiliation... in today's soul session we continue our discussion on visibility blocks and a mindset shift to help you move through it: Invitations... what will you be inviting us to, next babes?!

hello soul sibling! in today's Soul Session, i start off by sharing how nervous i felt recording it. we discuss how fear can be a portal from the ego to the soul, and why unconditional love can be a cozy home to return to when we feel stuck in perfectionism, fear, embarrassment, or self-doubt.

My love, your dreams have sent you this message to remind you to surrender to the full experience of their pursuit. And since the collective is dreaming through you, we all ask this of you: to hold the polarity of your dreams.
👉🏾 get a FREE Creative Activation —a guided audio meditation to support your creative practice. 👀🚀
We do not get to experience the beauty of a dream without the challenges. Every gift has a challenge and every challenge has a gift — this is wat the universal law of polarity teaches us.
In this Soul Session, we invite the law of polarity to expand our Creative Consciousness by teaching us to accept the FULLNESS of our dreams, NOT the illusion of them (ironically).
I hope you enjoy today's Soul Session, made with love ❤️

babes, the IRONY of this soul session is my inner critic is telling me it is not good enough to share. that i should record it again (and the illusion is that I wouldn't find fault with that version, as well).
👉🏾 get a FREE Creative Activation —a guided audio meditation to support your creative practice. 👀🚀
so in SHARING this transmission i am also embodying it, which, I think, is rather delicious and beautiful. from the deepest part of my soul, i want to remind you that your worth does not come from your ability to meet a perfectionistic standard.
do not define yourself by all you COULD HAVE said, it minimizes the generosity and power of all you did say.
do not define yourself by all the edits you COULD have made to your creation, it erases the wholeness of all you did create.
i am on this journey with you, towards overcoming perfectionism, towards GENUINELY embodying and believing that we are endlessly worthy of all kinds of creation, towards unlearning perfectionistic standards learned in childhood.
i love you so much, SOUL SIBLING!!!!!!!
KEY QUOTES:
“I love myself so much that I refuse to betray what I know is true for me”
“Be confusing. Nothing accepted in its fullest magnificence is required to make sense”
“If it feels like everyone is against you, remember — you have not yet met your everyone”

in today's soul session, i share three powerful shifts to overcome the fear of being seen & the fear of judgement. we get into radically accepting the truth, integrating our own judgement, seeing beyond the Critic, and creating the world we wish to see. I introduce my method, Soulful Visibility, and share a personal story of a challenge I had making this episode...
I hope you enjoy today's soul session, made with love! 💛🌻🥰

“comparison is the thief of joy” they say, a quote originally from Former US President Theodore Roosevelt (random!). but what does the idea that we just "shouldn't" compare ourselves to each other ignore, and in turn, normalize? find out in this soul session and learn:
How this idea can reproduce individualism
How we are made to glorify our own alienation
What another way of seeing comparison could be
How thinkers like Bayo Akomolafe, Gabor Maté, and Byung-Chul Han can help us make sense of all this...

If you are feeling unmotivated or uninspired, if you are stuck minimizing and hiding from your natural gifts, this episode is for YOU. You have these gifts for a REASON.
This episode will get you fired up, calling you back into your power and ACTIVATING you to be brave in the face of the fear we all experience as we face our goals and dreams. You are someone’s cheat code.
You are here to UNLOCK something powerful in the collective. NOT keep your gifts to yourself, hiding and playing small when you know that there is something bigger calling you, longing for you just as much as you long for it.
You are not here to be silent and convenient for the status quo or those who don’t support you. You are an EXPANDER. You are here to break rules and break the mould that has been given to you, to truly make it your own, and to support the collective in our collective healing journey.
What if: you have these gifts for a reason. And the reason is NOT simply your own self-actualization, but the realization of more love, healing, community, creativity (insert what you are here to help cause) for ALL of us. We need you in your power, bestie! We love you. I love you.

if you are a worst case scenario thinker/feeler/(anti-)dreamer, this soul session✨ is for you. let's unpack why it's time to let go of assuming the worst — not only in terms of what's possible, but also in our relationships and friendships.
in this soul session, i share examples of times when i assumed the worst and the exact opposite happened. i invite us to ask ourselves this question the NEXT time we find ourselves stuck in a worst case scenario mindset. you will (re)learn how holding onto the worst case scenario to protect ourselves becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: we align our actions to what could go WRONG instead of RIGHT, thereby making the former more likely.
you will hear me walk through common examples where we assume the worst and are often "wrong", such as:
assuming strangers don't want to talk to us...
assuming old friends don't want to hear from us...
assuming everyone online will certainly HATE or cancel us...
assuming conflict will RUIN our relationships/friendships... and more!!
let me say that i applied the lesson of this episode in the PROCESS of making, editing, and sharing it. here's how:
my inner critic said (repeatedly): "what i'm saying is nothing ✨revolutionary✨ therefore it's not worth sharing this episode". or "i'm not adding anything new here!"
the underlying assumption is A) we get our value from our uniqueness (individualism) and B) no one wants to hear and re-integrate the same lesson again from ME specifically.
WHAT IF THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE? A) What if collective wisdom becomes more potent the more people share it? and B) What if people actually LOVE hearing and re-integrating wisdom they already know and feel to be true, and they love hearing it from ME (not exclusively but in a particular way)
i love the feeling of applying a lesson i am sharing with you, because it makes me feel very aligned and like i'm sharing my life's wisdom with you. with that being said, I hope you enjoy today’s soul session. stay tuned for more, and share it with a friend 💛
