Hello My Beautiful Queen,
Wow, these past couple of months have been quite the journey. I experimented with a number of things and honestly have just been diving deep into the world of my own shadow. I realized a lot of things about how I treat myself, how I treat others and how I allow others to treat me.
I have always said that the spiritual, soul expanding journey is not always rainbows and sunshine. That sometimes doing the inner work means that you are going to have to grieve who you have been, step into who you have not been and be willing to release what no longer works. But the thing is, we are conditioned to ignore what doesn't work. We tell ourselves that's just how life works, that's just how relationships work, that's just the way it is for me. This an old tool of the patriarchy which has now fallen away.
It's how it is for us in our individual lives because that's what we believe we deserve. I am specifically talking about what we think is possible for us and about relationships. Moving forward I want to use this blog as a space for me to explore my own journey, not necessarily to directly teach and coach. I do that in my programs, in my one-on-one coaching and on my social media platforms. If you are looking for the lesson, the takeaway and tips on starting your own expansion journey, start there.
So, my Karma number is 4. Which means that I have a problem with authority. I have always hated anyone telling me what to do, how to do it and then saying it's because I have to. This is not my first incarnation and my soul knows bullshit when it senses it. But until recently, I did not acknowledge that I also had an issue with myself as an authority. I shy away from any positions of power and tend to take a step back. Which is ironic because I am the CEO of my own company, run a podcast and coach hundreds of women. My life path number is 8, which is the role of the abundant healer. In this lifetime, I was always meant to pay off my karmic debt by being called into the roles of the leader.
What that means for me in real world contexts is that I waiver a lot. I want success, and I know on every level that I can have it. I have achieved it in many ways, but it never feels like I am there, because I know I am suppressing my own desire to lead. Simply because I am afraid of success and what success may demand of me. Like so many women that I work with, I too have the fear of what if this works, but I am not able to handle it? Unwilling to open myself up to mass scrutiny, afraid of what it means to manage employees and millions of dollars and worried that I will be so overwhelmed that I will cease to enjoy my own life. What is the point of success if I can't enjoy it?
But I can't stop thinking about my dream life. I can't stop thinking about what me accomplishing my dreams would do for my family, for my friends and for my clients. I also think about my death, and how my spirit would feel if once again, I let my fears stop me from doing what I have always wanted to do. I am being called to lead, and although that is fucking terrifying, I continue to show up and do it.
In this chapter of my life, I want to ease my foot off the brakes and remove the cap I have put on my own success. Because I know without a shadow of a doubt that I am the one holding myself back. And so I am setting out to get out of my own way.
Much Love Always,
Shar
