Just in case this is for you
To surrender to what is wanting you versus what you think you want is your sacred power in action.
I hesitated sharing a piece of writing that I received through meditation today to this community on Substack because a lot of people in this community are on-purpose.
But I chose to share it because I know through my own experience that even if we are on-purpose, there are often places within ourselves that don’t feel fully realised.
I was interviewed on the wonderful Suzie De Jonge's podcast The Untangling this morning and it catalysed something for me.
Suzie asked me what is my vision, where do I feel I’m going and what am I here for?
Well the first thing that happened when Suzie asked me was that I felt a whole lot of energy in my heart and my eyes went shiny and then I said this….
‘There was a time where I was taught to give my ‘elevator speech’ in answer to that question which in fact I never did successfully.’
But today the words flowed out and I said something like this.
‘I’m here to remind and reconnect people with the wealth of their sacred power.’
Even writing that makes me teary.
I think I knew about this on some level when I was a little girl. I have a vivid memory of sitting in bed, maybe about 8 years old, and asking myself the question ‘why am I in this body?’. Inherent in that question was a knowing that I was soul who inhabited my body and I asked myself then at 8 years old, ‘why, for what purpose?’.
Everyone who I have coached has asked themselves (or is asking) that question that I asked at 8 years old. And almost everyone who I have coached has remembered (or is remembering) their sacred power - aka their ‘superpowers’.
I personally know I’m not here for half arsed freedom.
Am I fully free?
No.
But I am committed to leaving no stone unturned and I'll continue to see blindspots and thresholds so that I am free where I am not.
I’m also not here for half arsed freedom for the people I coach. That would be incredibly disappointing and is not my bag at all. As I write I see that it’s the reason why I have so many longstanding and profound relationships as we choose to journey this life of freedom together. And that is truly delicious.
How do we become free, fully realised, feeling like we are in the all-ness of our power and authenticity and seeing that reflected in our physical 3d reality?
Through humility, firstly.
Through the humility of self-honesty and acceptance of where our lives don’t feel in true alignment of what they could be.
By getting out of blame and judgment, dishonesty and denial because change will never occur from here.
In the context of sacred power, this getting honest and taking of 100% personal responsibility is your sacred power in action.
Why?
Because the story doesn’t end there.
It’s just the beginning - a necessary beginning, but just the beginning all the same.
There is a reason why some of our lives feel smaller than they could be.
It’s because the version of that wholehearted, authentic, full life that you thought you were going for is only an infinitesimal perception of what your most wholehearted, authentic, full life actually wants to be. In the ‘what your life actually wants to be’ that could be nuanced and yet in that nuance so much more meaning, joy, peace and connection abounds….or….that could be a totally different external reality.
To surrender to what is wanting you versus what you think you want is your sacred power in action.
This not only involves taking 100% personal responsibility but also trust, faith, intuition and surrender not into the plans that you thought you made, but instead the plans that you didn’t make.
This doesn’t happen by trying to work things out with the mind. When I do I then remember that I’ve lost connection.
This doesn’t happen by making five year plans.
Freedom to live these plans that you didn’t make, to experience the premise that authenticity is profitable in all ways comes as a result of deciding to dig into the deepest trust of yourself and your life to date.
It comes as a result of having the grace of mind to make none of it wrong for what will only arrive in your future as a result of your past self.
After my conversation with Suzie this morning I meditated. During this meditation I remembered how precious it is to walk alongside others as they free themselves to live from their sacred power; a quality of power that will change their lives forever.
As such I was pulled to write and this is what came out.
I trust that my sharing as reluctant as I was to share here on Substack has catalysed something powerful for you.

Gisele, I asked that same question to myself when I was 15! Xx
I knew at 15 I was in some way different to others, hence why I asked.
WE know and WE ask.
WE asked, because WE know to ask that question. WE understood, WE knew!
So blessed to be connected at a young age!
Xx
Omg!! ❤️❤️❤️ this is part is what I am trusting in myself. The inner guidance, the ultimate invitation. The faith of coming back to myself and it being beyond the plans I could have made on paper. I return to surrender just by reading and remembering why I went outside the box in the first place. There was no flipping choice!
So glad that you shared this GG.
