EP 239 – When Your YAS Is Buried Under Their Opinions


Listen Later

I missed y’all! Life hit me with a virus, and instead of pushing through, I practiced what I preach—I rested. And in that stillness, something clicked: too many of us are walking around disconnected from our inner YAS—our sacred, soul-level yes—because it’s been buried under other people’s voices.

This episode is for the queens who feel stuck, confused, or overwhelmed because they’ve been outsourcing their clarity to everyone else: family, friends, systems, partners... It's time to come back home to your truth.

What this episode is really about:

  • Why you can’t hear your YES when it’s drowned out by everyone else’s “shoulds”
  • The authority gap and how it keeps you from trusting your inner wisdom
  • The sacred 5-step soul sorting process to reclaim your decision-making power
  • What I learned during my divorce about making hard decisions for YOU—not for anyone else
  • Why your truth needs protection, incubation, and stillness before it's ready to be shared
  • How to stop crowdsourcing your clarity and start trusting your nervous system’s signals
  • Journal prompts and practical tools to help you uncover and anchor your YES
  • Take Action

    If you’ve been feeling stuck or anxious about making a big decision, don’t rush it—soul sort it.
