What Is Your Truth?

How Do You Know Your Truth?
 

Your truth does not live "out there". It is something that is hidden right inside of you.

Behind all the layers of distortions, social programming and mental conditioning, lives your inner knowing of who you really are.
Part of knowing your truth begins with being authentic. With showing up and being exactly who you are and be. 

When you take off the mask, and peel away the layers of shame,  you allow the space for the sweetness of your true essence to reveal itself. 

There is sweet tangy deliciousness inside of you waiting to emerge. 

Not unlike the pineapple. 

What's beneath the surface...

If you walked by a pineapple and didn't know what it was...

Would you be curious?
Would you stop to check it out and explore?
Would you have any idea what was inside of it based on it's exterior appearance?

Would you settle for other people explaining it to you, or would you want to experience it for yourself?

See I can tell you how amazing a pineapple tastes, but you must taste it yourself to truly understand. Once you do, you know. You embody the experience and it becomes a part of you. 

Truth is the same way. 

You learn your truth by exploring. By being curious. By trying out new things. By cutting to the core and finding the treasures hidden inside.

Sure people can guide you along your path of discovery, but no one can tell you your truth. You must learn how to attune to your own inner wisdom and allow the juiciness of who you truly are and be to emerge and flow.

In essence, you must welcome yourself home. 

So my love, What is your Truth? What is the juicy #soulyum waiting inside of you to burst free?

Whose Truth Are You Living?

LIVING OUT OF ALIGNMENT

When you live OUT of alignment with your souls true purpose long enough, the call of your soul gets louder, and it becomes more uncomfortable and difficult to ignore.

I went to school for psychology and counseling. I immersed myself in these subjects for well over a decade. 

2 degrees, 1,000's of hours, and a professional license later (plus having racked up a shit ton of debt) I realized that this was NOT the right career choice for me.

I knew I wanted to help people live a better life. So it had seemed like the "logical" next step was:

"Go to Grad school and become a therapist."

I did this even though it felt off almost the entire time.

At that point listening to my intuition and living from my heart were pretty much foreign concepts to me.

So I stayed in something that felt super uncomfortable and was draining as fuck. 

But here's the thing...

I am not built to sit in a box, to be a blank slate, and to listen quietly while people vomit their pain stories onto me.

It is actually physically painful. It depletes me emotionally, mentally, and energetically.

And it stifles a powerful part of who I am and be.

This is what is called: 

LIVING OUT OF ALIGNMENT.

Society says you "should" show up and be a certain way and then programs you to feel guilty and ashamed if you don't.

HOWEVER...

We are not all built the same way. And we are not all meant to work a 9-5 job. Especially one that feels like a fucking prison to you. 

YOU are the only one who truly knows your truth.
YOU are the one living your life.
YOU are the being in the body.

Not them.

So regardless of your "professional training" and all the shitty "should's" that people drop on you...

Pause and tune into your Heart.
🔥 What does YOUR soul truly want to express?

🔥 How is it aligned for YOU to show up powerfully in the world?

🔥 What is YOUR soul's true purpose?

HOW I WORK + BE NOW

While I still bring elements of my education and counseling training into my work as a coach, consultant, and creative strategist, I work way outside of the traditional "box".

🔥 I allow my heart, my soul, and my intuition to lead.

🔥 I trust in my own knowing and creative flow of information instead of following a prescribed "theory" of treatment. I no longer give my power away or show up in ways that are not aligned or truth for me.

🔥 I show up authentically and vulnerably, (not like a blank slate robot). I shine my light on the distortions I observe and feel, and I have the tough powerful conversations with my clients, even when it's super uncomfortable.

And shit moves.

People connect deeply with their hearts. They align with their soul. They alchemize their pain. They embrace their messiness and shine light on their shadow. They up-level their consciousness. And their lives change. 

TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP

So my love, if you are living out of alignment in a job that is not your soul calling...

AND if you would like the support of a kick ass creative visionary (me) to help you finally get clear + confident + aligned around your soul's true purpose, so you can actually take the inspired actions to bring this into form...

The Magic In Moving Beyond Your Comfort Zone

THERE IS POWER IN LEAPING BEFORE YOU ARE READY

Do not underestimate the potent creative power of taking bold inspired actions the moment an idea hits you…

Yesterday I followed an inspired idea that dropped in around 5:30am. The idea woke me up, showed itself to me clearly, and basically said:

"Go fucking create me NOW". 

Thank god somewhere along the way I've learned the importance of listening to + acting on these hot inspirations when they hit. 

HOW THIS UNFOLDED

I simply followed the energy and the signs that lit up for me as a "HELL YES!"

No more lukewarm maybes. It either inspires or detracts. 

I knew exactly what I wanted to create and who I felt a soul calling to reach out to for this project. 

And I took bold action immediately. 

I let my heart lead and followed my intuition. 

HITTING THE GLASS CEILING

Taking BOLD actions like this is NOT in my zone of comfort. 

It fucking stretched me and ignited all the inner voices of not being good enough and getting rejected. 

*Note: this was AFTER receiving "Hell Yes!" type responses from ALL of the people I reached out to so far to be a part of this epic creation. 

THE TRUTH  

It's so clear to me that we cannot allow our insecure inner voices of fear to run the show. Because they are bullshit. They distort the truth. They feed us lies that are not even happening.

The TRUTH is that within 24 hours I already have 6 amazing cutting edge Male contributors lined up for a new Huffington Post article I'm writing about the Magic of Authenticity In Biz Entrepreneurship!!!

TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP

So my love, if you have an idea that is stirring inside of you TAKE A STEP TOWARD THIS NOW!

AND if you would like the support of a kick ass creative visionary (me) to help you finally get clear + confident + aligned around your swirling ideas + soul visions, so you can actually take the inspired actions to bring them into form...

Loving The Crap Out Of Your Scared Inner Child

LEAVING YOUR COMFORT ZONE

Every time I boldly step into something that stretches me…

That pushes me outside of my comfort zone into uncharted waters…

That moves me towards my big soul aligned vision…

My wounded inner child goes apeshit.

The part of me that is so fucking terrified of being rejected and shamed, surfaces.

The part who believes it's safer to keep playing small.

She holds all the cellular memories of past traumas, that I've stored in my body.

And it's this body level fear getting activated for me that triggers the mental story loop to play. 

The one of the shame story that says:

“You are not good enough. You are not worthy. You are in trouble. You are going to be rejected. Blah blah blah.”

In the past I would have allowed the story to play and had an emotional meltdown.

And today, I show up differently. I've learned to make a new more empowered choice in the moment. 

Here is what that looks like. 

I stop the story tape. I hit eject and toss it in the garbage.

Then I allow that child part to fully feel it. 

All of it. 

The shame. 

The unworthiness. 

The unlovableness.

The enormity of the LIE.

However I do not collapse into the distortion. I do not allow the distorted mental loop to continue running. Instead I feel into the core wound and sob. I allow the cleansing healing tears to flow. 

Because the truth is, regardless of circumstance, of the past experience, or of external approval... 

I am ALWAYS and in ALL WAYS worthy and deserving of love. 
As are you my love. We ALL are.

I now practice showing up more fully as the unconditionally loving parent. The one who honors what this child part of me feels, instead of yelling at her or making her wrong for her experience. I set healthy loving boundaries with her as well. 

And in this, she begins to feel safe and integrate into the fullness of my being.

It's time to wake up, to choose to step up, and to powerfully claim your own liberation. 

And as always...

Show up courageously. Be authentic. Speak your soul's truth. Unapologetically. And With Love.

Aligning With Your Soul's Authentic Truth

It's often more simple than you may think

HOLY WOW!

I Just finished a power packed *Deep Dive Soul Alignment VIP day* (yeah that's an actual thing!) with an awesome soul mate client. 

I am in such gratitude + awe at what emerged. 

I had NO idea that being authentic + truly living into my joy, would translate into an actual biz...

Where I get paid to help people align with their soul's true purpose + birth their creative visions into form. 

That being authentic + living my joy, would not only help me get clear on MY soul's purpose, but that it would allow me to help others to get clear on + live theirs as well. 

THE PERFECT BLOCK

You see, for so long I needed things to be "perfect" before I could move forward. 

I wanted the entire picture to be crystal fucking clear before I took a step. 

I can be pretty stubborn and willful.

So I dug my heals in and basically refused to take action until the "perfect alignment" emerged.

I stayed stuck in a state of analysis paralysis for a long ass time, waiting for the perfect aligned Divine timing to strike like lightening. 

Thing is, the timing is rarely ever gong to be "perfect". 

AND we often can't see the full picture until step 7. 

It literally can't emerge until we start moving forward...

THE EPIC SHIFT

When I started tuning into my heart and listening to my soul from a clear aligned space, instead of struggling to create something from my head that I thought I "should" be doing based on what everyone else was doing or on my credentials and formal education.... 

I started receiving clear messages as to what MY soul's truth and purpose really is. 

My essence clearly presented itself to me. The simple message was: 

"Be Authentic"

THE CREEPING DOUBT

At first I didn't listen because I didn't understand it. 

How the actual fuck does one monetize Authenticity?! And what does that even mean?! 

I couldn't wrap my head/mind/brain around how just showing up authentically was ever going to create an actual biz for me.

In fact, I was actually TOLD by people that showing up authentically and "over sharing" was a biz killer and that I was stupid for being so publicly vulnerable and casually dressed.

THE CORE TRUTH

Even though I kept receiving the CLEAR message from my soul to simply "show up and be authentic", I kept living in and from the limiting story loop in my mind that said:

"I need to find my clarity first". 

Translation: "I'm really fucking terrified of doing it wrong + failing + NOT ever living into my vision and purpose."

For a long time I did the dance of invisibility while I flirted w dipping my toe in the river of truth + infinite possibilities. 

And this looked like me playing fucking small. 

When I finally started taking the aligned inspired *AUTHENTIC* action steps I was being shown, the next step and then the next, revealed themselves. 

The picture began to come into form. 

But I had to Trust + and to leap, well beyond my comfort zone. FIRST.

THE AWESOME RESULT

I am now legit creating and living my dream biz + working with soulmate clients.

I get to show up + be authentic + speak my soul's truth, boldly + with love.

I get to create from my heart space and allow what organically wants to emerge.

I get to attune deeply to my intuition and inner knowing, allowing my soul to speak through me in miraculous ways.

And in the process of being exactly who I am and be, and shining my light brightly, I help my clients achieve the same results.

And together, as bright Lighthouses, we are impacting the world in ways that inspire, empower, and awakening the consciousness of humanity. 

Hell to the Yeah! 

So my love, if you have a deep soul calling that is stirring inside of you TAKE A STEP TOWARD THIS NOW!

AND if you would like the support of a kick ass creative visionary (me) to help you finally get clear + confident + aligned around your soul's vision, so you can actually bring this into form...

The Stormy Chaos Of Life

On the days when I feel tangled and caught up in the stormy chaos of life, I remember this simple wisdom:

"This too shall pass." 

And then I breathe.

Some days are more challenging than others.

These are the days of growth, where we are cultivating our inner garden. We are weeding out what's unaligned with who we truly are.


Pulling weeds isn't always fun or painless, but is necessary and worth it.

As we change our landscape, leaving the lower vibrations behind and moving up in frequency, we cannot keep the old patterns, the old belief systems, the old thoughts, or the painful suitcases of emotional hurts that we carry around with us.

They serve to drag us down.

They keep us anchored in the past and tethered to the denser frequencies that hold us in chains.

They stop us from up-leveling our lives.

Every time I release what is heavy and old and no longer necessary in my life, I allow myself to be set free.

And it's amazing how quickly aligned things can manifest in our lives when we create the space for them.

It's time to wake up, to choose to step up, and to powerfully claim your own liberation. 

And as always...

Show up courageously. Be authentic. Speak your soul's truth. Unapologetically. And With Love.

You Don't Deserve To Wear A Bikini

Growing up in the LA/Hollywood distortion...

I grew up fucking hating my body.

Desperately trying to fit into a picture perfect box of what society painted as "beautiful". As "desirable". As even "okay".

I wasted so much time focusing on looking a certain way. On being a certain size. A certain shape. A certain weight.

So much of my precious energy was spent feeling insecure, unworthy, and not good enough.

Regardless of how much I actually weighed, I felt fat, and hated my body.

I lived my life in a constant downward body shame spiral.
And because of this, I missed out on experiencing so many wonderful things. 

The SHAME seed was planted...

At age 13 I was legit told by a teenage boy at the beach: 

"You don't deserve to wear a bikini". 

He launched this explosive word grenade, while adorned with a stick skinny 90 lb girl on each arm. 

What the actual fuck?! 

I was wearing a biking at the time.
I weighed maybe 125 lbs...?
I was not fat by any stretch of the imagination. 

However, as the body shaming trio looked down on me through piercing eyes of harsh judgment and distain, through the programming and social conditioning of an idealized plastic Barbie doll culture, my innocence shattered into a million fucking pieces. 

This shitty comment, this ONE sentence, uttered by a mean hearted stranger, fucking landed.

I allowed this to destroy me.

It was my garden of eden apple moment. I liken it to Eve suddenly becoming aware of her own nakedness. 

It planted the seed of shame that took root. It grew and spread like wildfire.

This one fucking cruel comment seeded decades of body shame that manifested as deep body hatred. 

And while this moment shaped and informed so much of my life from that point forward, it has taught me so much. 

The Truth is...

I am so much more than just a body. My body is the beautiful temple, the sacred vessel, that my soul came here to experience life through. No matter what it looks like.

I didn't know this at age 13. Thank God I know this now.

Our biggest wounding provides our greatest teaching. We can choose to stay in the low vibrational garbage. Or we can choose to alchemize the lie and remember the truth of who we really are.

You do not have to agree to the distortions of other people's illusion.
 And although that shame filled illusion still occasionally rears its ugly head, I am not a victim to that experience any longer. 

In truth, I never really was. 

I simply gave my power away, and agreed to a lie. 

So to all the women who hate your bodies, remember, your body is the beautiful temple, the sacred vessel, that your soul came here to experience life through.

Regardless of what you look like, thin, fat, or in between, your body is the sacred house of your soul.

The more you love + appreciate yourself and your body, right NOW, as you ARE, the more you uproot and alchemize the shitty seeds of shame.
It's time to wake up, to choose to step up, and to powerfully claim your own liberation. 

And as always...

Show up courageously. Be authentic. Speak your soul's truth. Unapologetically. And With Love.

Liberation From Shame

Cleansing Tears

I find Crying fucking gorgeous. It cleanses shame and opens the flow...

My practice is showing up for myself when I want to run away screaming from the pain.

And to instead stand tall and shine love on my shadow.

I'm learning how to BE with me. 

With ALL of me. 

The light and the dark. 

The judgements. The shadow. The less than noble parts of my personality self.

The parts I'm proud of + the aspects that hold so much shame I reject and want to annihilate.

Those shame filled pockets are exactly what I lean into, be with, dance with. 

To dissolve and alchemize... with fierce beautiful love. 

Tears soften and release shame, transforming it into something gorgeous filled with gifts.

There is no shame in crying. 

In fact, it's often through our tears that we release the heavy pockets of shame + self judgement we hold. 

So allow the cleansing tears to flow. 

It is liberating AF.

And allowing your true authentic expression to flow, will begin to set you free.

It's time to wake up, to choose to step up, and to powerfully claim your own liberation. 

And as always...

Show up courageously. Be authentic. Speak your soul's truth. Unapologetically. And With Love.

When Your Soul Is Drowning

Do you ever feel like your soul is drowning...? 

Like the very life force inside of you is not burning so brightly.

Like you are going through the motions of life. Robotically. Asleep. On autopilot.

Like you are an absolute mess + out of fucking control.

I SEE YOU. I UNDERSTAND. 
AND YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Soul sickness is real. It has become an epidemic. 

Working in a job you hate. Being in emotionally abusive + toxic relationships.

Avoiding your feelings by numbing out, running away, trying desperately to escape the pain.

Living in environments that do not nurture you on a soul level.

Essentially, living a lie. 

All of these create and seed a deep soul sickness. Where it feels like your soul is drowning...

1. Connection is a Key
When it feels like your soul is drowning, it's a call to level up.

It's time to find the missing connection within. 

Chances are you've been receiving many signs, from the Universe, many urges from your soul, that point you toward your true alignment.

And it's time to choose to go inwards and finally really listen. 

2. Being Truthful is Another Key

It's time to get and be really fucking honest with yourself.

To ask the tough questions that burst you open and set your soul on fire.


Questions such as:

Where are you lying to yourself?

Where are you settling for less than what you deserve? 

Where are you making excuses and shutting yourself down?

Where are you listening to other peoples shitty judgmental voices?

Where are you allowing yourself to collapse into fear? 

Accessing your Truth, is what will begin to set you free.

3. Loving Yourself is Another Key

If you are still not loving yourself, it's time to get your ass on board the self-love train. Pronto.

This is essential. A non-negotiable. It's not some new age woo-woo airy fairy bullshit. It's legit. It's where the magic happens.

It's what gets you into your HEART.

And your heart field, IS the doorway, the portal, into the quantum field.

It IS the zero-point from which all creation stems.

It's the space where your soul light lives.

So if your light feels dim, re-ignite + beam the TRUTH of LOVE brightly my love. 

CLAIM YOUR WORTH. YOU ARE LOVABLE. 

There is no need for your soul to drown in the illusion. Unless of course, that is what you choose to experience...

It's time to wake up, to choose to step up, and to powerfully claim your own liberation. 

And as always...

Show up courageously. Be authentic. Speak your soul's truth. Unapologetically. And With Love.
