There's nothing subtle about domestic violence. And it won't ever go away unless women stop pretending what is, ain't so. I wonder ... when is enough, enough?!

What I’ve come to discover in my few years of working with women, is that all the women were taught how to pretend. Manipulate their inner cues to be able to tolerate the outer ‘reality’. Manipulate, too, the outer circumstances so people think their lives are “perfect”. Yet our inner world is in total and utter turmoil. So is that of our children.

Wise words by a wise woman: "I'm not settling for half of anything!"

I can never be more intimate with another than I have given myself permission to be with myself. In that, I must be in willing to be with my own disagreements inside myself to the point where I integrate the double binds and anchors and lies. I must choose to remain comfortable in my discomfort of not-knowing and uncertainty yet give myself permission to BE in all that IS. I must create enough space inside myself to hold all the paradoxical truths as equally real in order to integrate them. I must be willing to take sacred responsibility, inside myself, about my contribution to the external reality I am living.

Curiosity, on the other hand, is an open ended state of being. “I don’t know” is a powerful, legitimate state of being that invites the unknown to become known. It is the state of creativity, of expansion, of evolution. It demands that we surrender that which we think we know in order to discover what it is that we yet don’t know.It is in the yet unknown that potential and possibility live.It is in the yet unknown that resourcefulness emerges from.

Decloaking and Living Authentically 1. introduces you to a reliable and predictable process you can engage today to begin transforming the quality of your life. 2. Decloaking is the stepping stone to a paradigm shift from being externally referenced to being internally referenced. THAT is the single, most massive mindset shift you can make that will free you from the confines of cultural conditioning internalized through your upbringing. Make friends with your mind, make peace with your life.

Today on Sparking the Sacred podcast, we are in conversation with Jennifer Hatt.Jennifer is a CODE Model Coach™, an author and a publicist. As a fellow colleague and an enthusiast of the WEL-Systems® original experiences, Jennifer has agreed to be my guest in this episode where we explore what it was like for her to engage the Whispers from Within™ experience with me.

There is an "I AM" only inside of us that knows our own unique truth, independent of what anyone else believes. It is much harder to access that unless and until we begin to notice that we are distinct and separate from our mother, our sister, our husbands, our children.  The only question remaining to explore is: are you willing to discover who YOU are?

Together in conversation in The Joy of Decay Podcast with Tessa Rae, we explore topics that matter to women's souls. We talk about our journey through WEL-Systems® experiences, decloaking to ourselves and living authentic lives, parenting, the power of the Crone, grief, intimacy, provocation to expand beyond our limits, and so much more! Have a listen ...

If I achieve one goal in my lifetime, I wish it to be that you grow up knowing your true Self, your essence, your I AM. It is only by knowing this that you do not fall victim to another's construction of the world. If you notice the patterns playing out in the world and choose mindfully that which is meaningful for you, I know you will be okay.  I share these thoughts with you because I have come to discover that there is nothing in the world that is more powerful than you knowing your essence... your truth ... yourSelf.
