“A woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing. She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself and only herself.”
~ Maya Angelou
Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow White. Are these names familiar? Do you know their stories? If you’re even vaguely familiar with their plights, you’re amongst the majority — the untold women whose earliest “imprints” — early messaging that shapes our belief systems — tied womanhood to the (conditional) acceptance of the masculine.
You’ll be happy when the ruby slipper fits (i.e. you’re not too fat or too thin — the “perfect” size). You’ll be “saved” when your knight-in-shining-armor shows up to deliver the storied kiss. (Translation: your life literally begins when you find “The One.”
You’re rescued from your tower by your true love. (Imprint: Life without a partner is no life at all, and you need a hero to save you.)
Unless we’ve grown up under a rock or in a bunker, it’s an unfortunate truth that women’s view of the world — and therefore their sense of self and belief about what’s possible in their lives — has been shaped by early societal and familial messaging about womanhood.
And let’s not forget the “big-T” trauma that so many of us face in relationship. The reality is that to be a woman in the world carries a heavy burden, an unseen shackle of “should” and expectation.
The good news? Chains were made to be broken.
I have a passion for supporting women to break the chains of societal and familial conditioning, relational trauma and the heavy burden of “should” — to embrace their true calling and most expansive version of Self.
As a fellow woman in the world, trauma survivor, and student of personal growth, it’s my honor to walk alongside women on the path of personal and ancestral liberation.
