This is what triggered my pursuit of healing.

I've mentioned in previous episodes my split realities, and have started sharing how compression and control is all I've even known when it comes to my identity. And of course, the soul chose the abrasion and the contrast, to learn the lesson, or not living against false values and superimposed authorities, fundamentally causing a major dishonour to self.

That alone was a big enough reason that kicked in my conviction when I had my second spiritual breakdown, that I didn't know how, but I knew I needed to identify who I was outside of being my mothers daughter.

Yet there was a more subtle pain that has played out for me, and that's been in the domain of dating and relationships.

Up until March 2023, at the age of 33, I'd never been in a relationship. I'd never even gone on a second date until recently. I can also count the amount of first dates I have been on on one hand.

And from that moment, I've been able to experience divine union, the meeting of my twin flame, soul mate, and everything (yes, everything) I have desired in a partner.

This is part one, of a long story.

All I've ever known is to suppress emotions.

Becuase of the journey of deconstructing self, for the first time in my life, I'm living through feelings.

And feelings, are in the body, they're the feminine aspect, they don't live in the mind.

The lack of emotional atunement lead to a life on autopilot.

Let's talk about transformation but not as you may have typically come across it.

I'm referring to identity suicide.

To transform yourself is to first accept the invitation to deconstruct yourself, pulling out all the aspects of you that are not you, enabling the return to who you were always meant to be.

Yet the fear of doing this grasps, as it did for me, as you will not know from the outside what to replace the old identity with.

It cannot forge, leaving you in this liminal state.

Are you going to accept the invitation?

If you love what you are listening to, I would love to connect with you!

EVERYTHING is a pattern, you don't do anything by chance.

Patterns are the backbone of our lives, dictating our behaviors and shaping our experiences. Whether we're aware of it or not, everything we do is part of a larger pattern, guided by habits and routines that we've developed over time. From the way we communicate with others to the decisions we make in our careers, there's always a pattern at play, influencing our actions and outcomes.

Recognizing this truth leads to a fundamental understanding: nothing happens randomly. Every choice we make, every event that unfolds, is connected to a larger pattern that's been in motion long before we even realize it. Our lives are a series of interconnected threads, weaving together to form the intricate tapestry of our existence.

How are escapist patterns woven into you, barring you from experiencing a deeper aspect of yourself?

After losing the majority of her immediate family to illness, losing her marriage to dis-ease, losing her freedom to the physical powers that be and finally her health to a broken spine and a broken heart, there seemed no other option but a graceful exit… The Spirit however, did not agree with the flesh and her request for death was bluntly denied. In one final act of desperation she lay awake late one night and cried to the heavens 'I give up – show me the way – lead me and I will, without question, follow'. She followed.... and she's been asking questions and writing down the answers ever since.

Does it take a miracle to save a woman who has lost everything? Does God really step in and carry those who cannot or will not for the moment carry themselves? Are the prayers we scream to the heavens in our most desperate hour of need really answered? The answers can be found in the remarkable journey of the woman who went from laying curled up on the bathroom floor praying for God to take her home, to the woman who now believes that faith in the Divine is just the beginning of this incredible adventure we call life.
