you not perfect. You are a real, in
the trenches, survived and thrived
soul, spilling your beauty and
impact in every moment. Share
yourself and allow your truth to
shine.

One evening, I forced myself to
show up for my tribe. All kinds of
things came up. I wasn’t sure I was
sharing the right message. Was my
hair a mess? Could you see how
red my cheeks were? Whatever! I
hit the go live button.
When you hide because you
fear judgment, you are doing a
disservice to yourself, your tribe
and all those goddesses, who
are watching. Your soul exudes
beauty and confidence and perfect
imperfections! None of these
define you, but they do define your
authentic expression and make you
completely relatable. So, if you are
the woman in the tribe struggling
with that internal voice, offer your
ego thanks for wanting to keep you
safe and tell her, “I am perfect, just
as I am!”
You are NOT the Truth of
your Ego’s Chatter.
Your ego is the voice of limiting
beliefs, as I have mentioned, that
are designed purely to protect you.
But these beliefs do NOT define
you. They actually stunt you and
your personal growth. Your soul’s
capacity to love and create so
far exceeds these beliefs and the
chatter associated with them, that
it is difficult to reconcile that they
exist within the same being.
Imagine the voices that fill your
head when you are about to do
something new for the first time.
The ego’s chatter is filled with fear
and shrinking. The soul’s chatter

is a cheerleader that reminds you
how amazing this is going to be!
For me, the fear and ego chatter
were around visibility.

That night, as I was getting ready
for bed, I got an email that said
one of my sisters was in a really
dark place and she wasn’t sure
why she was here until she heard
my message that night. It shifted
things for her and she now felt like
she had hope. As I cried tears of
gratitude and appreciation for her
vulnerability and my privilege of
holding her up, I realized that none
of those questions I had earlier
mattered. I stepped around my ego
and stood in my truth and that was
exactly what my sister needed to
save her life.
You are the Creator of your Life
and Not the Victim.
Your life happens because of you
- not to you! I know, sometimes
bad things happen to good people,
but if you keep the perspective
that life is happening to you, you
are feeding into the ego’s power.
You have the power to change the
course you are on. You have the
ability to make choices, even some
that have an element of risk - I
