Vulnerability: The Great Connector

February 12, 2021

Speaking my truth, sharing my story, taking you on my personal journey as I move through life… it’s what I’ve been doing for almost two years now. And if there’s one thing (and trust me, there’s so many more!) I learned within those two years, is that it always pays off to be vulnerable.

It may feel like you want to curl up in a little ball or crawl into a cave during the process of opening your heart and mind for the world (or a few good friends) to see and hear, but that’s simply because this world likes you to believe it’s unsafe to do so. 

I sometimes think about how the world would look like if we’d all grow up learning that it’s safe and healthy to express ourselves fully – that it’s simply part of being human to share the darker sides of our heart and the heavier parts of our story. I like to think some of us are building that future right now with their children. 

I think being vulnerable (however difficult, painful or heavy it may be) is the ultimate connector. We can’t expect to have deep relationships with ourselves and others if we continue to maintain the wall around our heart. 

The crumbling starts now, if you want it to. 

Imagine ‘the Tower’ from the Tarot. Usually not really a card you want to pull, with its destructive forces and the idea that everything is going to shit (lol). But when you take another look, you notice how the fire is creating fertile soil, and how the tearing apart of the tower has now created space for a stronger foundation. 

So you choose. 

Is it a crumbling of your own being, or the crumbling of that wall around your heart? Do you see it as a destructive force or as a fertiliser? Being vulnerable, ultimately, allows you to connect to yourself and others in a deep, raw and authentic way. 

It’s almost like training a muscle too: if you do it more and more, it gets easier every time.

A while ago I read about an author’s questioning of why, as humans, we’re so focused on protecting, suppressing and camouflaging our weaknesses and flaws. The author asked himself and the reader: why do we work so hard to hold on to things we rather not have? 

Man’s got a point.

In my opinion, being vulnerable allows a lightness to pour into our heavy hearts. Whether we’re being honest with ourselves or sharing our raw story with someone else, it’s signalling a message to our energetic field saying ‘I choose to let go. I don’t need to hold onto this, suppress it or ignore it any longer’. By breaking it open, you can set it free. 

And one of the most wonderful byproducts of leaning into vulnerability is that you give others the energetic permission to do the same. What would our world look like if we could all set free that which makes our hearts feel so heavy? A powerful thought indeed.

I honour your own process in this. For various reasons, we can feel unsafe in expressing ourselves fully and sharing our story. But please know there’s always space here to do so.

#64 My Vulnerable Story of Vaginismus (and the Journey towards Healing my Root & Sacral Chakra)

_

I didn't know life could feel like this... ⁠
⁠
In the past few months, an internal shift has taken place. ⁠
✨ I feel abundant, regardless of how much money is in the bank. ⁠
✨ I feel spacious, even though I literally moved into a tiny house together with my partner. ⁠
✨ I feel connected to our community, even though all the offerings inside my heart aren't out into the world yet (coming soon!) and I've been more offline than ever. ⁠
⁠
Somethings clicked into place, and I thank all the inner work of the past 6+ years for it. ⁠
⁠
It's not so much the external changes that have provided this shift. I could still be knee deep into self doubt or scarcity, no matter the situation. It's not that. ⁠
⁠
It's that I'm finally embodying where my mindset was - or wanted to be -  all along. My nervous system can relax within all the change and open-mindedness of my current work & life situation. I feel confident about where I'm headed. I feel safe, secure and loved from within. ⁠
⁠
Whew, I am so grateful for that. ⁠
And I wish the exact same for you. 🙏🏼⁠
⁠
Is your heart craving this embodied and empowered change this year? Is 2023 the year you're going to put yourself first, dive deep into your inner world and come out the other side trusting your intuition, feeling happy and confident? ⁠
⁠
Allow me to support you on this journey. Check the link in bio or my stories for the link to book your 30 minute discovery call - I'm opening up two spaces to work with me 1:1 for the next 6 or 12 months. So, if the idea of having an intuitive mentor cheering you on and supporting you through the highs and lows of your journey, get yourself a discovery call with me *no strings attached* and let's see how I can support you this year! ⁠
⁠
It would be an honour to hold space for you x 🧡⁠

2022 - you've been so good to me! 🧡⁠
⁠
With the first ever retreat, the move to the tiny house, and all of its lessons and blessings in between, I've absolutely loved this year. ⁠
⁠
And I can feel that it's time to integrate these experiences even deeper in the time to come. ⁠
I'll be taking a bit of a break in posting regularly and creating, because I feel like there is so much that wants to be shared and offered that I need to sit with that first. ⁠
⁠
From January onwards you can check out all the details for the July retreat I'll be hosting with @drsarahcoxon & when I'll be back it'll be with an incredible community-based virtual experience too. I can feel it brewing. It just needs beautiful, luscious and indulgent time, patience and tending. ⁠
⁠
I'll see you very soon & for now, have a wonderful end to 2022 and a magical start to 2023. ✨ So much love for you, sister x

A word of the year can be a great anchor to reinspire your intentions through the 12 months. ⁠
⁠
But that can also feel like a lot of pressure on just 1 simple word! ⁠
⁠
So what if the process has less to do with 'choosing' the 'perfect' one and more about calling in what feels most supportive for the direction you'd like to take this year? ⁠
⁠
I always get a lot of questions about choosing a word of the year around this time, especially because I've made it our tradition to record a yearly podcast on it (which is now up!). But I can hardly ever give you a good answer on the process of choosing it because to me, it's not really a choice. The word comes to me, usually a few weeks or even months before the previous year closes, and I dance with it for a bit before my heart will anchor on it. ⁠
⁠
It's an intuitive process in collaboration with the Universe. ⁠
So my invitation for you if you're craving to settle on a word for the new year, is to plant a seed with the energy around you to show you some options. Stay open to words, sentences, and energy flowing your way after you've done that. And see what feels exciting, expansive, supportive and maybe a little terrifying to anchor down your new year! ⁠
⁠
Check out the latest episode of the Spiritual Feminist podcast to hear me talk about my process with last year's word and my new 2023 addition. I also include journal prompts and a card pull to help you feel supported during this ritualistic time! ⁠
⁠
What's your 2023 word? (or tell me your 2022 word and how it served you!)

Let's make a self care list together...! 🙏🏼⁠
⁠
In a mentoring call the other week my client expressed how sometimes she felt overwhelmed when she had time to herself. Even in her down time, she felt the pressure to be productive and 'make the most of it'. ⁠
⁠
Gah... can't we all relate?! 😞⁠
⁠
During the session, I invited her to create a list of 5 things that made her heart feel good. Things such as journaling, reading, and guided meditations. And then we created a practice around how she could enjoy these things without feeling like there was a right or wrong way to do so, and instead, invited her to focus on what felt good & what expanded her heart in that moment. ⁠
We journeyed back to what felt pretty damn good, without there needing to be expectation or pressure. 👏🏼⁠
⁠
This is hard work. Deep work. Healing work. 🧡⁠
It sounds so simple, but sometimes reading a book without being distracted or creating a nr.-of-pages-goal is the most rebellious thing you can do for your empowerment journey. 🔥⁠
⁠
If you have a list (or would like to create one), let me know what nourishes your heart! And if you'd like to receive tools and space to release the pressure around your self care and empowerment journey, maybe 1:1 mentorship is the one for you. DM me for more details ! x
