“Write about it,” he said to me.
“Now?” I asked.
“Yes, exactly now,” he replied.
So I sat down and started writing.
For years, I became the queen of self-reliance. I rarely asked for others’ opinions, convinced that my perspective was uniquely different. That belief only served to isolate me. The breakthrough came when I finally acknowledged that loneliness wasn’t my path, and that I deeply yearned to find a tribe that spoke my language. As the universe works, when intention meets elevated emotion, manifestation follows. My tribe grows larger each day.
Then, as if by divine timing, a new friend appeared in my life in the most unexpected way. Someone who spoke my unique language. I was ecstatic.
This morning, flooded in uncertainty, I sent him an SOS text: “Help! I have zero ability to make a decision.”
If you asked any of my clients, they’d tell you that “I know” is perhaps the most common phrase in my vocabulary. This knowing doesn’t always have a logical explanation. It simply arrives with clarity. I understand what serves the highest good in any moment, whether for myself or someone seeking guidance.
Those in my presence often resonate deeply with this truth-telling. What I share isn’t always welcomed, but it consistently feels authentic.
This gift has always flowed naturally through me. It’s unplanned, unpredictable, yet consistently present.
Have you ever silenced your inner knowing to make others feel more comfortable?
As a child, my commitment to truth often led to exclusion. Peers called me condescending. Girls in my circle bullied me. As I grew older, the labels evolved. They called me a witch. Or witchy.
So I learned to be quiet.
But silence never suited me. Eventually, I returned to expressing insights and channeling wisdom at every opportunity. I couldn’t, and fundamentally didn’t know how to, be any other way.
The price was heavy.
After years of painful observation, I learned to share what I know only with those who explicitly ask. Only with those open enough to let light into their walls.
So, you can imagine my disorientation waking up this hot, sweaty morning without a single ounce of clarity.
I knew nothing and had no sense of what needed to be done. Usually, everything feels precisely aligned. But I couldn’t connect to my desires. I felt detached from time, space, and meaning.
I broke my sacred morning protocol. I opened three random messages before meditating. That simple act left me completely disoriented.
Everything felt flat. Tasteless. Pointless. I felt like Alexis from Dynasty, being dramatic and lost like the chicken in Moana.
In that rare moment of vulnerability, I reached out to my new like-minded friend.
With characteristic generosity and grounded wisdom, he shared a story. The message was simple: we’re only given what we can handle. Everything that comes to us serves our highest good.
This may not have been his exact wording, but my heart heard what it needed.
That moment soothed my soul. I realized what I truly needed. All those difficult emotions were guiding me to a deeper truth. I needed to enter receiving mode. My soul craved love and support, encouraging words, wise counsel, and someone else’s light.
I simply needed someone connected to their own heart to remind me of the path back to mine. I needed permission not to know everything. I needed to remember that I’ve learned how to hold space for myself.
I saw myself reflected in his kindness. His calm presence reminded me of my own. Touched by that moment, I reconnected with my own wisdom, as if I had just brushed up against a magic wand.
And I knew.
I have always known.
Sometimes I resist what I discover. Sometimes I don’t like the answer. And no, I cannot guarantee that every decision will remain true forever.
But in this moment, I know with clarity, confidence, and love that everything happening in my life serves my highest interest.
What current challenge in your life might actually be your greatest opportunity for growth?
What if everything is already working for your highest interest?
When will you finally trust that inner knowing that has always been there?
