Surrendered + Empowered

I had a day recently that was really, really hard.

I was feeling some big emotions that I was having difficulty processing, and I simply could not stop crying. I had just realised that I had been carrying a story all my life that what I offer to the world as ‘me’, and as woman, doesn’t matter. Even those times when my beautifully supportive husband would encourage me to follow my heart and offer to the world what felt important to share, I would not allow myself to receive his encouragement and tell myself that ‘he doesn’t really mean it’.

And what surprised me even more was my resistance to let go of this story. You would think that when you identify a habit or pattern that isn’t working for you, that you would simply let that sh*t go.

But I couldn’t.

There was a part of me that was so identified with this belief of ‘not enoughness’ that she fought tooth and nail to hold on.

Because who would she be if she did not have this story to cling to?

This story gave her an excuse to give up on pursuing her dreams.

This story said ‘I told you so’ when her ideas failed or when she felt she didn’t measure up.

This was ancestral patterning that ran really, really deep.

And it was time to let go.

So I ended up down by the Jamieson River, the movement and sound of the river soothing frayed nerves, and the stillness of the big trees and mountains giving me stable ground.

And as I sat by the river I began to realise that this story had me tangled up in proving my worth. It kept me playing sensible and safe for most of my life. The story had me believing I had to have everything figured out, that it all had to ‘make sense’ and appear under control so I didn’t look silly, inept or ridiculous.

And it was in that I moment I knew I had to let go.

To surrender the story that had me running in circles.

To surrender to not having things all figured out.

To surrender and trust in what doesn’t make sense.

To surrender and not know what comes next.

To surrender and have faith in who I am and what I am here to do.

To surrender and empower myself to love ‘me’ hard.

To do what I love.

For me.

As me.


I know it must seem I am losing my mind at times (don’t worry I am all ok now 😆 - and this little session on my Jamieson house deck helped!)

But I really feel my willingness to dive in and bravely feel into what it is to be human brings a depth and sensitivity to my offerings that is not often found with other teachers and mentors.

I am so ready to support you on your path and help YOU feel into what is asking to be felt, to help you release what is no longer serving you, and to support you in realising what you most desire for yourself in this short and precious human life.
