What have you been holding in, guarding, repressing, that wants to come into the light?
In this video, I go into detail about what I’ve been hiding, how being open & vulnerable & emotional has transformed me. This article is the description for THIS video: https://youtu.be/CpB5HgoLRM8
I grew up around folks who kept their lives secret for fear that these intimate details, these struggles, these mistakes would be used against them, would mark them as failures, or bring scathing judgement from those closest to them.
I internalized this and to this day find dark caverns within me that need to be explored and illuminated. One of these dark caves is the topic of money and abundance.
I am going to say the uncomfortable thing and I hope this inspires you to do the same. I got served an eviction notice a few days ago because I can’t afford to pay my rent for June. If you are inspired to support me, send me a message.
Big breath.
This sucks. This really sucks. Its also really amazing that I am still alive and can smile and laugh. In my head, I had all these stories about how miserable, grief-stricken, and absolutely demolished I would be if this ever happened. Now it has and I’m ok. I am stronger and more faithful than I gave myself credit for. People are more loving and generous than I expected. And more transparent too.
That’s whats so magical about opening up and being vulnerable is that it gives others the permission to do so too. So many people have told me that they are also struggling financially or behind on bills and I would have never known if I hadn’t opened up the conversation.
What we get to do now is envision a reality into being where we are all moving towards financial abundance, generosity, and community. When we are vulnerable/true and when we allow our emotions to flow and be seen, the world reflects that and opens up to you its gifts.
The connections I have made because of my vulnerability over the past week are invaluable. I could cry. My brothers and sisters have really shown up for me and I couldn’t be more loved and supported. And there are those who haven’t and thats okay too. I love their silence and inaction because I don’t know where they are and I know we are all doing our best. I know that when a brother or sister asked for help and I couldn’t help, I felt triggered. It was a reflection of what I wanted to do: share.
Now I am sharing and its getting easier. I am feeling and its getting easier. I am taking small steps and its getting easier.
My loving invitation to you is this “Share something you’ve been holding or hiding that wants to come to light”. When you do, tag or share it with me so that I can witness you, hold you, and love you.
