What If The Answer Is Yes?

February 18, 2022

moving past imposter syndrome and into worthiness

It’s one of those ‘buzz words’ that goes around the self development community quite  a lot: imposter syndrome. That nagging, often subtle part of our mind’s voice, telling us we’re not worthy or capable for what we’re about to do or receive. Quite simply put, it’s often our mind’s insecurities having something to say about our heart, soul and intuition’s nudges.

All of our life, and in my eyes even beyond that, we’ve been subtly and sometimes not so subtly shown and told what we cannot do, achieve, dream or work towards – especially as women and/or marginalised people. Our patriarchal and capitalist culture and its values show us time and time again that as a woman, you’re supposed to create your dreams around your maternal instinct – and then the 20th century is double guilt-shaming us if we actually choose the mum life over career life. There’s no right way of doing these things anymore, it seems. But what all of these different directions we’re being pulled to have in common, is that the metaphorical ropes that are tied around our wrists are saying to us: you need to go this way, because you cannot go the other way. This is your path. This is your destination. All the other doors, pathways, roads – they’re closed, blocked, under construction ’till the end of the time. It’s this way or no way for a happy, healthy and fulfilled life – so you better enjoy it, because it’s all you’ve got. 

I just don’t buy it anymore. 
That one well-paved road we have to walk on because of values put on us since a couple of thousand of years – it’s time we burn it down, get our tools out, and carve our own path. Those doors, pathways and roads that we have been discouraged to check in with? They’re the intuitive callings, the wildest dreams, the ‘fuck yesses’. And there’s a reason we’ve been made to believe that these options should be feared and avoided. There’s a reason we’ve been made to believe they’re unavailable to us. 

Someone on a podcast I was listening to referred to Shonda Rhimes’ book ‘Year of Yes’. Whilst I haven’t personally read her work yet, the person on the podcast interpreted Rhimes’ book by bringing in the question, ‘what if the answer is yes?’. 
You see, for most of our life, we think, hear and interpret ‘no’. The closed doors are closed for a reason, we think, and they’re better to keep closed, because you never know what happens when you crack it open. Because of cultural values, we tell ourselves ‘no’ over and over again. 
Our mind feeds off of this. The lack of opportunities and options we continuously affirm to our system is copy-pasted in our beliefs as a lack of capability, a lack of worthiness, a lack of ambition. We internalise so much of these closed doors that we don’t even know they’re there anymore after some time. We tell ourselves no so subtly so often that it becomes our norm. 

So, my question to you today is, what if the answer is yes (instead of no)? 

Take a moment to lean into an intuitive nudge you’re having, a dream that’s on your vision board, a pang of ‘I wish I could have that too’ when you scroll through Instagram. 
What if the answer is yes? 

What if you ARE capable enough to set up your own business and leave your 9-5? 
What if you ARE worthy enough for a romantic partner who treats you like the Goddess you are? 
What if you ARE ready to leave a friendship that doesn’t serve you anymore? 
What if you DO have all that you need within you, including your intuitive superpowers and female fire?

Our vision is often so obstructed by years of saying no, that we don’t even allow ourselves to explore the option of yes.
But moving past imposter syndrome requires us to venture outside of what we’ve known forever and inside the exciting possiblities of the unknown, and all that can give us. 
Moving past imposter syndrome means tapping into courage, doing things that scare you without feeling ready (because FYI, you will never feel 100% ready!) and learning, with time, that actually, you did have all that it took to take that step. 

What if you ARE the best person to give that presentation? 
What if you CAN totally trust your intuitive vibe about that new person in your life? 
What if your opinion IS needed and valued in your next meeting?

What happens then? 

Tell me in a comment below! Life’s too short to give imposter syndrome the big stage – so let’s implement some more ‘yesses’ this week, month and year and see where they can take us! 

 

pin for later…

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

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
