The longer you hide, the longer she waits
What I learned from my very first client that I never forgot
I didn’t used to understand what people meant when they said medicine.
Like when someone would talk about snake medicine, or being a healer, or you have the medicine somebody else needs.
It just didn’t click for me.
Until one of my very first one-on-one clients.
She was referred to me by a friend.
She had been abused as a child and was carrying so much.
She’d been to different therapists and psychiatrists over the years and was still deeply depressed. Still didn’t love herself. Still in a toxic marriage.
And in our sessions together, these soft, feminine sessions where most of the time her eyes were closed, we would go back into the past.
Through time and space. To heal her inner child. We did mirror work. We went slow.
And everything inside of her started to soften.
She started to soften to herself.
Her confidence started to grow.
She started to speak up. Stand up for herself.
I have to tell you that story tomorrow!!
Her growth was so beautiful to witness.
And that’s when I understood.
I had medicine that her therapist and psychiatrist didn’t have.
Not better. Different. Mine.
And here’s what I also know to be true .
You have medicine that the people you’re here to help are looking for right now.
The longer you stay hidden out of fear.
The longer you keep procrastinating.
The longer you stay away from your work…
The longer she has to wait.
We are put on this Earth to be there for each other. Some of us even more specifically, we’re here to help people heal.
You have the medicine she needs.
And I want to help you get it out of you and into the world.
This month I’m looking for 3 soul-led women to join my case study.
A 9-week case study program to get your voice, your stories, and your gifts out into the world. Without your body stopping you every time you try.
