Well well wellā¦look whoās back! Hehe you Iām talking about you, being back here reading this sweet sweet post that Iām so excited to be writing. So I have to share that Iām kind of doing these like people do podcasts where they record a whole bunch in advance so they can schedule to post etc.. because I wanted to give myself a head start and then be able to keep up with it consistently yay! And this is how I know Iām stepping into a new timeline, a more evolved version of me, closer to my higher self because I know what itās going to take to be that version of Sarah that keeps up with a blog and builds a website and a brand and does an online coaching program and works pretty well full time and manages friendships and keeps up with her wellness and takes time for herselfā¦.it is A LOT! But I want all of those things and I know itās going to be messy and Iāll stumble along the way and that is whatās going to make it so beautiful, Iām already so proud of her š„¹ Just right now Iām leaning into the uncomfy balancing act that libra season is really handing right to me in the midst of equinox season LOL!!! Okay I had another idea for this one but letās go there instead..
There is quite a large gap between the current version of me, a spiritual little witchy fairy lover girly humanā¦and the version of me 5 years ago that claimed to be a ārealistā that did a bachelors of science degree and needed physical proof before believing anything.. I know right, an interesting contrast indeed. Now I kinda just think realists are pessimists pretending to be optimistic hahaha I think you keep yourself limited and accepting in a situation based on whatās already happened and it leaves absolutely no room for the possibility that exists outside of that ⨠Iām sure thereās heaps of definitions you could throw at me that say other things but, what Iāve learnt in the last chunk of years is that the more you expand your mind to all the potential outcomes in a universe of INFINITE possibilities⦠the more fun life is. Trust me on that one š„²
This is so funny because the first personal development book I ever read was when I started my network marketing business and when my sister handed it to me suggesting I read it, I literally said āwhy would I need to read that I know what Iām doingā hahahhaā¦. thatās actually laughable to me now, I hold that version of me so close to my heart because she really was just out there saying that wildest stuff and still being cute. Spoiler though - I read it!! I did not in fact know what I was doing, and I did very much need to dive into that space heavily for me to get to where I am and Iām forever grateful. I think within that year I read Joe Dispenzaās Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, and that was the book that taught me how to rewire my brain. That book is magic, itās the neuroscience of change, it explains how our identities are shaped by our thoughts, emotions and habitual behaviours that can trap you in familiar patterns that limit your potential. It expanded my mind beyond what I knew and the more I dove into this work, the more I realized I knew nothing! So beautiful š so I started paying attention to my thoughts and emotions and patterns and decided I wanted to change themā¦just like that, how easy! Haha not. Perhaps Iāll skip ahead to now, 5ish years later and I donāt think Iāll ever notĀ be doing this work because we are evolving magical beings that are here to grow and learn and Iām so committed to that itās silly. Itās very hard though. Growing as a person requires doing the hard work in the moment, itās uncomfortable, itās challenging to navigate and cultivate trust in yourself, but itās made my life so much better and more aligned on every single level, and Iāll chose that any day over doing whatās easy in the moment to live a life of complacency and comfort š„µ
Whatās even juicier though is that as someone thatās done a LOT of self exploration and invested so much into getting to know myself and grow myself, this last 5 months has pushed me way past the limits I had on myself and itās almost like the last few years were just preparing me to expand throughout this season of my life. I didnāt really expect it to unfold in the way that it has and again Iāll share more on that eventually, but it has really truly been the most emotionally challenging and beautifully chaotic and healing season Iāve had so far in my 28 years. Which brings me back to the point of this post - is that I am in my saturn return era, which for the non spiritual or astrologically involved cuties, is when saturn returns after a full orbit around the sun, to the point it was at when you were born. Its peak happens around 29-30 years but itās a whole thing and you start to notice its shifts before then anyway and man oh man are they significant. We typically shift into deeper maturation, self reflection and introspection on our lifeās path, and it brings up a lot of challenge as it forces you to face your fears, limitations and old patterns but if you chose to, you can lean into it and listen to your dang intuition because itās liberating as hell and I promise you you will feel more aligned if you are curious about whatever it is that comes up for you, rather than resist it. I feel like Iām just getting started and itās already juicy and sexy and fun š«¦
In the last few months Iāve come to realize that the last couple years I have been operating heavily in my feminine energy, which is beautiful and magical and Iāve learnt to fully trust in my journey and even moreso, myself.. but with the imbalance and lack of leaning into my masculine energy I hadnāt taken the action that was required to step into this next version of me thatās building something I can stand on. But please PLEASE donāt get it twisted, I truly believe everything happens in divine timing and if I was ready to do it before now then I would have!! Clearly I was not ready yet. And I am beyond grateful for everything I have brought with me along the way because learning to trust in yourself is the most empowering and liberating thing you can do. Then I dove in way further than what I knew existed in the world of human design, numerology and astrology this summer which, even just 4 years ago I would have made fun of myself for, but now know that itās just allowed me to remember the things about me that I always embodied but over time had pulled myself out of alignment from. If youāre a healthy skeptic like I was, just know that the more Iāve allowed myself to listen to my intuition and follow my design and the stars, trust in my innate skills & gifts and lean into what the seasons bring us, the more in alignment I become and Iāve never felt more like myself than I do right now. And thatās in the current season of libra that I'm writing this in, where the emphasis is on balance and it just so happens my north node is in libra meaning Iām meant to focus this lifetime on balance and harmony in relationships, AND my chiron is also in libra so HUGE HUGE flashing lights for me in this lifetime to focus on and do the most healing in balancing relationships and and my health all things. which also makes perfect sense why I met a lot of challenge within my health and going to the extremes and also I've seen it in relationships of all kinds... but it's no longer surprising as Iām navigating this season hahaha.Ā
On a practice coaching call in my program last week, another cohort member coached and I was the client, I shared how Iām feeling massively overwhelmed these days, not in a bad way honestly just in the sense that I feel like I have a lot on my plate but I feel so aligned so itās really exciting but I got so emotional and tears were flowing and I have nothing but trust in myself and Iāve just never felt this busy so maybe Iām nervous and!!!! He took a moment to let me breathe and then asked me āit sounds like your capacity is expanding⦠are you ready for that challenge?ā and I had a huge release of emotion because here I was STARTING to let a tiny bit of doubt creep in, while he pointed out that I already know Iām beyond capable and yes itās taking a lot of my energy but, I have a crazy amount of energy to give so!!! I am learning to protect it where I need to and thatās what Iām here to do my sweet hunny bunnies. I know this journey is requiring me to expand beyond my past limitations and Iām being called out in every way shape in form so, here we go!!Ā
What Iām most excited about is that because Iāve spent the last few years doing this work, and getting to know myself on a deep level, I know it inevitably provides the space for others to do the same and I am giddy over how I get to hold that container for us!! Perhaps youād be keen to work with me down the line hehe I really know how to make it sexy and fun so youāll be in good hands! Anyway g2g ttyl solar eclipse energy really be tiring me out, LOVE YAĀ
xx Sarah
