Yesterday, I had the absolute honor of spending 8 sacred hours at a retreat that cracked me wide open in the most beautiful way. From deep guided meditation to calling in our spirit animals (mine - a fierce and intuitive lioness, naturally), to soul-shaking sound healing, releasing what no longer served us through fire, breaking arrows with our throats, and finally walking barefoot across flamesā¦
It was nothing short of transformative.
Throughout the day, I was reminded of something Iāve always known deep down: I am a leader. A guide. A force.
But over the years, I had unknowingly let the noise of the outside world - the opinions, projections, and pressure - soften my fire. Not because I wasnāt strong, but because I was trying to stay āgrounded.ā I started questioning myself instead of trusting the wisdom I already had.
When it came time to face (breaking) the arrow at my throat, that doubt hit me hard. And I feltā¦ disappointed in myself.
But in that moment, I also remembered - there is so much strength in asking for guidance. In wanting to do it right. In checking in with your own alignment.
From thereā¦ I found my fire again.
And I walked across the hot coals with absolute ease.
This experience reminded me who I am. It reawakened the lioness within me. And it brought me even closer to the incredible souls I shared it with - three friends who held space with me, grew beside me, and made the day even more magical.
I am endlessly grateful. For the fire. For the release. For the rebirth.
My light is no longer flickering - itās blazing. And Iām done dimming it.
