This isn’t going to be easy…

Does this sound familiar?

You’ve been doing the work, addressing your blocks and your triggers, taking aligned action and surrendering to the outcome…
You’ve declared your deepest desires to the universe, trusting that’s what meant to come will arrive when you’re ready.

And yet, at every corner you pass on your journey to becoming your highest self, you’re hit with another redirect—or “test”. (Personally, I don’t actually believe the universe is testing us, but rather giving us experiences to feel deeper and expand).

If this sounds like you—and you’re finding yourself knee deep in the discomfort right now—this is your reminder to keep going. ❤️Don’t get me wrong, sometimes growth can feel effortless.

Other times, it’s so difficult and painful, it can actually manifest as physical reactions in your body. That’s where That’s where I’m at right now.

In recent months, I’ve been intentionally focusing on continuing to move from action to stillness. And although this is not a new concept, this transition has been extremely challenging. It has brought up a lot of doubt and fear within me.

I’ve spent so much of my life and career defaulting into the masculine, accepting hustle as the best path forward and convincing myself that success comes from action.

It takes time to recondition these old patterns, and to unlearn the lessons that were so instinctive for me.
And this hasn’t come easily. My nervous system is FEELING it right now. To the point that my body has actually been having physical reactions to the unknown in the form of muscle spasms in my back.

I’m sharing this with you today to show you that this journey you’re on--the one where you’re working to better understand and become your highest self—is a daily practice. It never really "over."
I’ve been doing this work for decades, and let me tell you: I’m still a work in progress. 💯

Self-awareness is like an onion – there are constantly new layers to peel back and explore.

If I look back on the entries in my journal from one, two, even five years ago, a lot of the same themes are there: surrendering, releasing judgement, navigating the discomfort of the unknown.​
But my perspective of—and experiences with—these lessons are always evolving.

And it is totally worth it! Despite the peaks and valleys, I experience more joy, peace and abundance than I ever have before!
So, take this as your reminder that just because it’s uncomfortable, or hard, doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
​
In fact, often times, the harder the lesson, the greater the breakthrough. Just keep trusting – in yourself, in the work, and in the universe.

You may be weathering the storm right now, struggling to see beyond the dark clouds, but I hope you believe me when I say: The rainbow is there, waiting for you. And it’s even more beautiful than you imagined. 🌈
