What if the truth you’ve been hiding in your heart isn’t shameful or selfish, but sacred? This one line changed my life forever.

In this episode of Love Notes from Rhonda, I share the single sentence that finally gave me permission to follow my calling and become a coach after years of believing I wasn’t good enough or worthy enough to serve others.

For so long I carried the weight of my past: trauma, loss, suicide, alcoholism, mistakes. I thought it disqualified me. Then I read a line from Ralph Waldo Emerson that pierced straight through my fear. Today I’m passing it on to you, because you might be standing in that same doorway wanting to step forward, terrified it isn’t your turn. This is your invitation.

What You’ll Discover:

• The lie fear tells: “your past disqualifies you"
• Why your unspoken truth is the most powerful thing you own
• A permission slip for purpose that no one can take from you
• Why rejected ideas return to haunt you until you claim them

Key Takeaway:

The wisdom and dreams living inside your private heart aren’t flaws to hide or fix—they’re the seeds of your genius. When you finally trust what’s true for you, you give yourself permission to live the life your soul intended. Stop rejecting your inner voice; it’s your guide, not your enemy. Your private truth isn’t just yours—it’s a gift the world needs.

Key Quote:

“To believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all people—that is genius.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
