When Your Soul Speaks to You, Do You Listen?

This may sound like a weird question, but it’s really important so at the risk of sounding peculiar, I’m going to take a chance and ask it anyway.

When your soul speaks to you, do you listen? 

“Huh?,” you may be thinking. It may have even elicited a bit of an eye roll from you. That response right there…that’s exactly what I’m asking about. Call it your gut, call it intuition, call it your soul…whatever label you give it, it’s your inner wisdom and whether you listen to it or not, it’s talking to you. All the time.

But you probably don’t listen to it. 

Which is odd because it’s not like you are afraid to take advice. You are quick to call your sister or your mother or your trusted friend when you need a little help figuring things out. You have worked with coaches and therapists and other professionals, too. 

You listen to them. 

But during those same times of struggle or strife, or when you are at a crossroads, contemplating whether to take the right fork or the left, you don’t listen to yourself. And really, you don’t even think to ask the one person in the world who needs to weigh in. You look outside of yourself instead of tuning into the wisest and kindest and most honest source of all…

YOU.

You are smart, caring, and conscious. You are ready to intentionally shape your life, connect deeply with yourself and others, and make powerful choices to create an extraordinary life absolutely overflowing with joy and love. You long to be fully and completely expressed as the person you truly are. 

You are ready to unfold.

The very fact that you are reading this is proof positive that you feel the stir. It may be quiet right now, fairly easy to ignore. But as a woman who has been there, I can assure you that it’s not going to go away on its own. It can’t. Because it’s YOU. It’s the real you, ready to burst open like a sprouting seed. And you know yourself well enough to know, she won’t be put off forever. 

Why now? What happens if you do nothing? 

You may not feel angry….yet.

You may not be eating/drinking/shopping/whatevering too much…yet.

You may not be crying for no apparent reason all the time…yet.

You may not have done something that you are not proud of….yet.

But you will if you do nothing.

Hear me. I get it. This is scary AF. When I faced my own unfolding, it terrified me to the point of paralysis. Which is exactly why I have designed this group program with a built in support system. Together, we are stronger, yes? Together, we can find the courage to make a change. There is nothing more powerful than a group of amazing women who have each other’s back.

I don’t want to “do nothing.”

No Sudden Movements

I hear what you’re wondering. Am I asking you to blow up your life? Do you need to burn the house down? Will your marriage be over? Do you have to quit your job? The truth is, we don’t know what will happen. But I can promise you that we won’t make any sudden movements.

Intentional. Deliberate. Conscious. Thoughtful. This will be our approach together. And if, at the end of it all, you need to make sweeping changes, you will know that you have come to that decision carefully and that you are doing what you must do to honor yourself and live your best life.

You only get one crack at it. Life, that is. You know how fragile it is. You know the pain of loss and the joy of birth. You get that life is imperfect but that imperfection is what makes it so glorious.

We will seek to find your truth, which is extraordinarily ordinary and perfectly imperfect. And if you decide the time has come to light that match and set your world on fire, the Circle will be there to sweep up the ashes and rebuild the foundation.

But you won’t do it quickly. And you won’t do it carelessly. And you may not do it at all. It all depends on what you find when you start seeking the truth.
