And most importantly…I’m sorry for blaming you.

It has taken me years…

But I’ve FINALLY realized that you’re my life partner and companion.
⠀⠀
When you needed me most was when I put my walls up and belittled you.

And I’ll NEVER forget the trauma I put you through.

But I swear I’ve learned my lesson, and I promise that I’m committed to honoring you.

Why you need to 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 ⚖️ the Masculine and Feminine Energy in business.

P.S. I’m referring to UNIVERSAL energies… not gender! 😅

All genders have inside of them both the 𝗳𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗲 (yin) and 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 (yang) energy.

Did you know this? 😲

For majority of my business, I was operating primarily in the masculine energy...

Constantly focusing on DOING and strategizing etc...

Until I hit burnout.

I grew up in a predominantly masculine energy household 🏠:

▪️logical⁣
▪️control⁣⁣
▪️dominance⁣⁣

As a result, there was MINIMAL feminine energy in my home growing up.

🙅🏼‍♀️ No softness, no emotions, no allowing, and no nurturing.⁣

👉🏼 As a result, I felt insecure about EVERYTHING in my life due to this imbalance of the masculine & feminine energy in my home life.

Which ultimately sabotaged me in many areas of my life — ESPECIALLY my business and relationships.⁣

I ended up suppressing my emotions SO much that my mental health was at it’s absolute worst, resulting in depression and anxiety.

Fast forward... everything in ...

Wanna know what fucks with you in life and business?

Unhealed childhood wounds. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Like many people, *especially* my fellow entrepreneurs, coaches, and leaders…

It took a while for me to come to the conclusion that there was so much unresolved wounds/trauma from my childhood 😔…

Which ended up manifesting into limiting beliefs, self-sabotaging behaviours, and toxic patterns that affected *EVERY* area of my life, biz, and relationships. 🙃

Do you resonate with this?

——————

And here’s the truth...

It took a LONG ass time for me to even admit that I had childhood trauma because my childhood “wasn’t as bad as others”.

But this denial and refusal to face my shadows and to bring up things that haven’t been healed…

⛔️ Caused me to not only feel stuck and stagnant, and unable to move forward in my life + business…

⛔️ But I was basically forced to take 6 months off and rely on my savings so that I could finally heal my shit — because I had officially hit ROCK fucking bottom (end of 2020 was rough 😶).

So w...

January 8th: The day I *finally* shared about my 8+ year battle

substance abuse ONLINE… and it was single-handedly one of the most nerve-wracking days of my life. 🥴

But also THE most liberating day of my life. 🙏🏽

I finally felt like I could be *fully myself* without hiding such a huge part of my story.

Fast forward...

I can proudly say I’ve finally overcome substance abuse after 8+ years.

I am officially 160 days sober from Cannabis…

After what was supposed to only be a 30-day hiatus to heal my relationship with it. 🙏🏽

And I’ve been able to help HUUUNNNDREEDS of others just like me do the same through sharing my story on TikTok (this has been a blessing 🥺).

And most recently...

I got asked to speak at a Youth Empowerment Summit workshop, sharing my story with substance abuse to 12-17 year olds. 🤯

My LITERAL dream is coming true 🥺

... Getting paid to speak on things I’m passionate about and impact the younger generation. (How is this real life?)

And N O N E of this would’ve happened had I not faced ...

I’d love to hear your thoughts at the end...

So I’m the queen of hoarding all my old school work, notes, photos, etc...

And I like to look over them every few years and go back down memory lane. 😅 (anybody else????)

Anywho — I came across my old school work, tests, class notes, etc from high school, and many thoughts raced through my mind...

—————————

1️⃣ I hated and sucked at math, so I almost failed it and had low marks... so my dad would yell at me ALL the time #HiTtauma

NONE of what I learned in “mandatory” math class actually helped me in life. 🙃

2️⃣ I cheated my way through science class because I hands down WOULD NOT have passed if I didn’t... so I always felt like an idiot.

Again... none of these “mandatory” classes actually helped me in the real life. 🙃

3️⃣ Like many others, I was conditioned to link my self-worth to my grades, and honestly, it felt pretty fucking shitty...

Considering I was also struggling with bullying, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.

THE TOP 3 WAYS WE GIVE OUR PERSONAL POWER AWAY (and how to stop doing this!) 

1️⃣ Checking your phone 📱 first thing in the morning ☀️⁣

So you just woke up 😴, rolled over and are now going through the backlog of whatsapp messages, Instagram DM’s and texts 💬 from people in your life and in your audience...⁣

Wah-wow, wrong move dude! ⚠️⁣

👉🏼 The moment you check your phone you’re giving your power away to whoever is on the other end…⁣

👉🏼 Take the first moments of your day to fully sink into your OWN thoughts and feelings without having them polluted by someone else’s. ⁣

⁣

2️⃣ Accept personal responsibility for your feelings⁣

🙅🏼‍♀️ Quit blaming other people for how you feel!⁣

The only person who is responsible for how you feel is YOU - it’s your job to manage your own emotions, not someone else’s. 🤷🏼‍♀️⁣

👉🏼 The only way someone is going to cause you to feel bad is if you ALLOW them to.⁣

👉🏼 Checkity check your reactions and accept the part you had to play in the emotions you’re...

As an entrepreneur, a coach a healer, a leader... it’s so crucial to be actually moving through your own healing process so you can 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗘𝗫𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘 of the work that you do. ⁣

Unpacking the 𝗯𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 🎒 you’ve carried with you your ENTIRE life.⁣

Frankly, it’s really difficult to help others before you’ve worked through your own blocks, beliefs and traumas… 😔⁣

———————⁣

And it’s pretty hypocritical and inauthentic if you’re telling others to deal with their shit but you’re not addressing your own! *shots fired*⁣

But, that DOESN’T mean that you need to be ‘perfect’ or ‘healed’ before you can help other people!!⁣

There is no such thing as being ‘perfect’, and healing isn’t finite. 🤷🏼‍♀️⁣

👉🏼 We are always healing, evolving and growing.⁣

👉🏼 Your rawness and vulnerability about your personal healing process...⁣

👉🏼 Being authentic and sharing the shit that you’re going through is going to supp...

How to let your deepest “pain” evolve into your greatest STRENGTHS⁣ 👊🏼

This is something that I never really understood until I really started plunging into the depths of my OWN personal development work, learning about the human psyche, the subconscious mind… 🧠⁣

And healing from my own childhood wounds, ancestral trauma and the emotional baggage that I’d been carrying round for pretty much #forever. 🤷🏼‍♀️⁣

⁣

We experience all of the contrast in life, so that we can bounce back:⁣

👉🏼 stronger⁣

👉🏼 more powerful⁣

👉🏼 more equipped to heal and lead others to transform and live exceptional lives.⁣

⁣

When we go deep into our “pain” and 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲, we are able to 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗺𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘁 to pure 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵, 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 and 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.⁣

We become magnetic 🧲 - to the wealth we wish to attract, to the dream clients, the relationship, and to all the desires we have in our life.

It’s frustrating to know and feel the 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 you are capable of…⁣

To have these 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 and 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 for who you want to be, how you want to show up and what you want to create out of your life and/or your business.⁣

When instead of seeing THAT version of yourself…⁣

⁣

🙅🏻‍♀️ You’re feeling blocked, stuck, unconfident and anxious.⁣

⁣

You’re finding yourself:⁣

▪️ playing small⁣

▪️ not expressing what you really feel⁣

▪️ worrying so much about what people think⁣

... that you avoid showing up at all so as not to ruffle feathers.⁣

———————⁣

⚡️ Could you IMAGINE how differently you’d show up in your 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲… your 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀… or your 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 if you were able to:⁣

👉🏼 Identify your 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳𝘀 and call yourself the F out (lovingly) as they’re happening⁣

👉🏼 Activate aspects of your 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲⁣

👉🏼 Become more comfortable 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵⁣

👉🏼 Run your life and/or biz from a 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗺, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 and 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲⁣
