Beloved,
As I reflect on the turning of another solar year, I find myself using the word “courage” quite a lot. I sense I am being pulled towards a great unknown. I’m deep in the mystery, not quite sure where this river is carrying me.
And I bet you are as well, because humanity is being called forward. Being called to expand. To be tempered by heat and grow through challenge. We’re all being asked collectively to cross a threshold. And it’s still mighty dark out there.
It requires a great deal of courage to wade through dark waters. To move forward even and especially when you can’t see where you’re going. Because for real, the unknown is highly un-comfy for us mere mortals.
It requires courage to keep showing up as your most authentic self, to not be swept away by social programming or the expectations to “pick a side” (in a losing battle of separation). It takes courage to take a stand for LOVE.
It feels like chaos “out there” – like a pressure cooker building steam.
Which means we need to triple down on love because LOVE is what will bring us through. Love always and in all ways: love for each other (even and especially those we disagree with), for the earth, for art, for energy and most definitely love for yourself.
I’ve been at this self-love journey for such a long time now and yet if I’m honest, it’s still a struggle some days. That’s the realness, the messiness of my human story. I am a spark of the divine flame (you are too!), a holy goddess herself, and yet reverence for self can still be elusive.
Some say it takes courage to have these conversations about the real struggle of self-love or the realness of the dark night of the soul. That may be true, but what’s so much harder is living a lie. Denying yourself. Performing just to get along. Staying small and quiet and fearful.
I can’t do it anymore, nor should you. It’s time we get loud with our love. We will not undo chaos with more chaos or drama. We are being called forth to be grounded, to be fiercely compassionate and to be resolute in expanding our consciousness beyond the theater playing out before us.
To that end, I’m grateful for the opportunity to have these conversations and to be able to share them with you. So in case you missed it, here are two courageous convos worthy of your precious attention (IMHO):
My beautiful convo with Sara Jane about the journey of liberation from performing to please others to finally learning to please your own sacred soul self.
And if you want to better innerstand the dark night of the soul – collectively or individually – then you want to give this no-holds-barred chat a listen.
This is not one to share with your kiddos (but most definitely please share with your inner kids). We use grown up language but also talk about:
- The unique and also extremely challenging aspects of the dark night journey
- Suicidal ideation (and what I learned about menopause the hard way)
- What’s possible (think creativity, expansion and massive integration) when you bring your most expanded consciousness to your dark night of the soul

Big Birthday Love,

P.S. If you are ready to liberate yourself from the conditions of your past, ready to free your soul gifts, then let’s talk. Your liberation is calling.
