For most of my life I’ve lived with an undertone of existential terror.
A heavy sickness feeling at the pit of my stomach.
A heavy weight on my shoulders.
TERRIFIED of;
Saying the wrong thing
Someone hurting themselves
F**king something up
Challenging anyone or anything
Being too much
Not being enough
Being judged
Being gossiped about
Being shamed or humiliated
Taking up too much space
Leaving people out
Being excluded
The silent treatment
Oh my, it was EXHAUSTING.
I literally thought this was it. Just who I am.
I am so glad I decided to journey back to myself 9 years ago. I’m grateful that the matrix that was my existence crumbled and I was able to come back to my authentic voice, thoughts, beliefs, confidence and COURAGE 🔥 Courage to;
🔥 Stand up for myself and others
🔥 Notice toxic relational patterns and break them
🔥 Channel discernment on who and what gets my energy.
🔥 Leave my corporate job and start my own soul work.
🔥 Stop being the keeper of others secrets, lies, shame and pain.
🔥 Stopped desperately trying to sustain low effort connections.
🔥 Give way less f**ks if I’m liked or accepted
🔥 Take the road less travelled
🔥 Follow my heart and soul, not my fearful head
🔥 Walk away from toxic people and environments
🔥 Love myself unconditionally
🔥 Stop chasing metrics and external validation
My life looks so different to the girl who stood terrified on that stage. I wouldn’t change a second of the empowering path to get here though 🙏
