Last night was the final class for this group! These are the key takeaways:
Prepare for growth by embracing solitude when needed, and trust your intuition to guide you forward while welcoming support along the way.
Growing up as a preacher's kid, I was taught to live a certain way. But eventually, I had to leave behind old beliefs to form a true relationship with the God/Divine Source/Universe/The All. What I once knew turned on its head, and I had to reconnect with the Source to seek answers. I learned that prioritizing others over myself was misleading and sacrificing myself for others wasn’t the way.
When I began to ask what my soul truly wanted, I faced many trials to open my eyes to what is real. My ego fought me, and life challenged me, but ultimately, life won, and I had to change, letting parts of myself that weren’t real die away. Ignorance isn’t bliss. Those I trusted the most, who I gave all my trust, were secretly setting me up to fail.
Walking alone and listening only to my intuition, I started living the life I was meant to live. I was told I’d be the Abraham of my family, but I didn't know it would change me so profoundly. If you knew me before, you don’t know me now, and that’s why we no longer walk together. Believing in the God we serve also meant believing in myself and trusting the process, moving forward with bravery.
If you knew what I’ve been through, you’d be amazed. Without growth and change, I wouldn’t be the hero of my own life. Now, I use the synergy of my energy with others and stand firmly on my own two feet. My no is firm, and when I’m ready, I move forward. Codependency made me weak, but deciding to become the transformational leader I was meant to be has empowered me.
Do you know who you really are? Are you willing to get to know the real you and walk away from what you’re told to be? Live authentically as long as you’re honest with yourself. We have the potential to align with the currents of the Universe rather than against them. Life has its ebbs and flows, ups and downs, wins and failures. The key is to ride those waves to become your highest, best self.
Answer only to yourself and your higher power. You don’t need permission to be who you were ordained to be. The process of life is about unlearning what you’ve been taught to become your true self. Good versus evil is real, but intuition helps discern the blurred lines. Titles mean nothing if you can’t be considerate while leading. True leadership is about serving and training, not just commanding.
Remember, good employees don’t leave amazing organizations—they leave poor leadership. Be true to yourself and never settle for less than what you truly desire. Reclaim your power and energy to live your full truth. We’re all here to learn and grow, so ignore distractions and look within. This happens through meditation, mindful breathing, and choosing happiness regardless of circumstances. There is no lack or scarcity, just our perception-there’s only abundance in the earth. Yours is waiting for you!
We put all our worth in what we do. The Source of All puts worth in who we are!
Step into the unknown and become unpredictable. Be your own best friend and cheerleader as you embrace interdependency and release codependency. There are systems in play that we only understand when we truly open our eyes. Strongholds appear when you declare you want change. Move towards your true purpose as a leader, learning through experience.
Be honest with yourself and choose you above all else. You can be the leader others expect or the person you dream of. Failures are part of the journey, but what’s worth having is worth fighting for. As Brené Brown says in "Daring Greatly," get into the arena and go for it. Be okay with "Failing Forward," as John Maxwell puts it. Learn, pivot, and be grateful for everything you have.
Only you can do this. It will be the toughest battle you’ve ever fought, but it’s time to be the leader you’re meant to be, even if it’s just for your family. Focus on what you want, no matter what you see, and life will change. Look for synchronicities and keep going. Use your imagination to see your desires manifest, and stay in that vision as much as possible. Your new self is searching for you, and you are being drawn toward it.
Embrace your journey with grace and persistence. You have the power within you to transform and lead authentically.
