Weaving Your Reality

The most important home to visit during the Holiday season is the one within. In this solo frequency transmission, I share the waves I've been surfing around coming home to self, cultivating unshakeable peace, and BEing an invitation into love everywhere I go.

Some of the topics we traverse:

How to be when triggers come up around family

Invitation to shed anything you're not meant to bring into the coming year

Shining the light within the shadow

Cultivating peace within

Being a powerful weaver of your reality

"How anyone around you acts is not a measure of how far you've come".

I share an update on my relationship with being a "content creator", as well as some of the biggest lessons that I've been moving through both in my personal and professional life.

Separating my worth from the addition to producing

Expanding into being guided by Source

Brittany Eastman is an adventurer and architect of inner worlds where beautiful lives, businesses and leadership emerge. Writer, multidimensional mentor and speaker, Brittany creates rich spaces and communities where mysticism, business and self inquiry collide and thrive.

I discovered Brittany through Ellie Seilern, and since then have really enjoyed her content reflecting on social media, business and motherhood.

The importance of not taking entrepreneurial failure personally

The moment Brittany decided to crumble her business and re-build from a totally new foundation

Letting go of "the myth of getting somewhere"

Why you don't need to earn the right to success

The social media metrics you're giving way too much attention to

How Brittany has structured her online offerings outside of the "industry standards"

No one can teach you the thing you were born to do

Remembering your innate power

Practicing discipline and refinement of what you let into your field

Energetic understandings that lead to a whole new level of self-expression

Not giving away your power to gurus and experts

Embodying the archetype of the writer

Creating from pleasure and from "here I am" instead of "this is where I've been"

Are you worshiping the cult of "being a nice person?"

Did wanting to be liked and approved sneak up to the top of your subconscious hierarchy of values?

You're here because niceness has likely hijacked how you express yourself in the world, putting a ceiling and a floor on how freely you share the TRUTH of who you are. The truth that is the swirling life force in the field beyond logic, spreadsheets, content plans and business projections. The kind of truth that wants to pour divine frequencies through you with no self-censorship. Even if it pisses some people off. Especially if it does.

If you're ready to let go of wiring that no longer serves you and hire a quantum electrician within to choose a new set of beliefs that make you SOAR, you are in the right place.

In this solo episode, I invite you to step into the main character energy that you were born to play in your life.

In this transmission, I'm sharing the invitation to release expired parts of your identity, and how this energy has been showing up in my life and business decisions.

Revisiting my ego-attachments to a brand I'd created that was once successful, I'm present to the fearful holding onto the idea that I might never create something as great again. Time to burn that sh*t in a sacred fire!

That's how we make space for the new.

For being pure vessels for Love that wants to pour in us and through us.

That's how Source guides us to the most extraordinary, beautiful, abundant paths of creation and expression.

I trust and choose to leap into the void, the in-between identities.

Are you with me?
