A year ago, my friend Taylor Brown with Frequency Marketing made this post. It came up today on my “memories from a year ago.”
It’s hard to believe it has been a year since we filmed my documentary, “From Cult to Q***r.” But also, so much has happened since then. My film has gained attention in LA and continues to gain more traction. 🤯
It’s still hard for me to believe sometimes that I have a story worth telling. The voices in my head keep tempting me to doubt myself. 😳
But here is what I am learning. Those voices, are voices from my past. Full of lies, manipulation, control, and shaming. I don’t want anything to do with those thoughts anymore. They aren’t from me. They are from those who knew my power, captured my freedom from an early age, and spent the next 26 years telling me how unworthy I was. 🥺⛓️
The past seven years I have broken free. Through many painful, sometimes small sometimes huge steps. I have changed everything. I have unburied the hidden gem inside me. 🌈💎
But freedom isn’t usually won in a fell swoop. And honestly, I still work every single day to free myself a little more. 🫂♥️
This post reminded me this morning of how far I’ve come. As a fervent pursuer of healing and growth, sometimes I forget how much work I have done to free myself. Today, I take a moment to celebrate the vulnerable human who chose to step into the unknown and tell gem’s story. 🥳
We can literally do anything we put our mind to no matter how scary it feels. 🤗
Your freedom awaits. Are you ready to take it?🦋
