S2 Ep16 - Stop Cuddling Snakes: Maintaining Your Self-Worth

Send us a text

Hey beauty,

Have you ever wondered why you get drawn into relationships that drain your energy? Perhaps you've been magnetized to those who charm, manipulate, and eventually deplete your self-worth. In this week's episode, I guide you through the analogy of avoiding cuddling snakes - a metaphor for the lower vibrational energies embodying deceptive traits we sometimes attract in our lives. Inspired by a week spent in a snake-inhabited property, the episode takes a deep dive into understanding how we sometimes, especially those with lower self-worth, get ensnared by these slippery creatures 

 No matter the snakes crossing your path, the key takeaway is the power of maintaining your energy and staying true to your journey. So, let's gear up, and learn to prioritize ourselves before getting entangled with the metaphorical snakes in our lives.

With love,
Em xx

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the Becoming your Warrior podcast.
This is the place where you getto feel inspired and empowered
to step into your very best life.
Hey, hey, this is Em andwelcome to this episode of the
Becoming your Warrior podcast.

(00:21):
This episode is entitled StopCuddling Snakes and I'm going to
explain it.
It's kind of a three parter.
So I guess the first part andthis all connects to self-worth,
by the way, there's like a nicestory that's going to come
around in a ring.
But the first part is when youthink about a snake generally,

(00:43):
unless you absolutely areobsessed with snakes, generally
you would think of snakes as alittle bit sly, maybe a little
bit charming.
When you think about likesnakes in, say, for example,
jungle Book you know that trustin me song they can be a little
bit manipulative, maybe a littlebit smooth and slick.

(01:04):
And I've mentioned charming.
So just hold on to that in yourmind, hold on to those thoughts
that we have around snakes, andI'm going to talk a little bit
about energy and aboutvibrational energy as well.
So when you think about thosekind of characteristics as of a
snake and you apply it to, likea human, somebody who is, say, a

(01:29):
little bit charming, a littlebit maybe deceptive, a little
bit manipulative in it for theirown game, trying to get you to
trust them.
You're kind of getting a senseof where I'm going here.
So there are people in theworld that are on a similar
vibrational energy to that of asnake, and this is why people

(01:51):
sometimes refer to people and go, oh, like they're a snake, or
he's a snake or she's a snake,it's.
It's quite a derogatory term,but what it actually relates to
when you go into deeper anddeeper and deeper into it is
it's actually thecharacteristics of a snake are
displayed in that person orpersons, and we're always going

(02:13):
to come up against these people.
We are always going to come upagainst people who are in a
lower vibration than us.
So what I'd like to do is justexplain this and where this
whole thing came from, because afew weeks ago I was down on my
friend's property and she's downsouth in New South Wales, on
this beautiful, beautifulproperty, but there's bushland

(02:34):
there, and when I was there itwas a really hot week and she
actually said hey, just to letyou know, there's going to be
some like snakes around thisweek.
So you know they're fine, justdon't go near them and don't
cuddle them.
And I was like, oh my God, isif I'm going to cuddle a snake.
But what I actually did as theweek went on, I was really
scared for the first few days towalk around like barefoot, so I

(02:57):
always had my shoes on and thenI was like, oh, that's so hot,
I'm going to take my shoes off.
And I was stomping around and Iwas trying to like frighten
these snakes away.
And as the week went on, I justcame to this realization and I
was like snakes are always goingto be there, like these lower
vibrational beings are alwaysgoing to be there.
They're always going to bearound and we might not always

(03:19):
see them, but we don't ever needto stop and cuddle them.
And for the reason that I'msaying this is for somebody who
has a lower self worth.
Basically, one of the traits ofsomebody with lower self-worth
is always trying to like scooppeople up and always trying to
like take care of people andalways trying to like make

(03:42):
everybody else okay and makeeverybody better.
And this kind of relates to oneof my earlier episodes in this
series, which is like peoplewill take whatever you give.
And so if you're, if you'recuddling snakes, if you're
cuddling, cuddling these lowervibrational beings and kind of
giving your energy away, it'svery, very likely they're going

(04:04):
to keep on taking and keep ontaking that.
And so what the message behindthis podcast is, this episode is
and it's probably going to be alittle bit shorter than most Is
it's not your job to go aroundlooking for snakes to cuddle
them.
Snakes you don't want to cuddlesnakes unless you are a snake
enthusiast, like there's no needfor you to go looking for

(04:27):
snakes and scooping snakes upand cuddling them, because
ultimately, as we all know,snakes can be very dangerous and
very deadly and pretty selfishas well.
And so if you apply this tomaybe there's a person in your
life or maybe persons in yourlife I definitely know that this

(04:48):
applies to, like some toxicrelationships in my background,
like with narcissistic partners.
It's just that sense of likegoing in there and trying to fix
people and like trying tocuddle these lower vibrational
beings that will just take andtake and take and take.
So apply this however you wantto, but just know snakes are

(05:12):
there to be seen.
You know you can admire themfrom a distance and you can see
them for all their charm.
You can see them for all theirmanipulation.
You can see them for you knowall their tricks and all their
sleekness and their smoothnessand their charisma.
But it's not your job to cuddlethem.
It is not your job to cuddlethem.

(05:32):
It is your job to stay on yourvibrational like, on your self
worth journey.
And just to know that you knowthese kind of energies, they
have a very manipulative way ofbeing able to pull you down with
them and pull you down to snakelevel, and you don't want to do

(05:54):
that.
You're worth so much more andyour life is your own and you're
in control of your life and sojust control where you walk.
Control where you walk and makesome big bangs if you need to
when you're walking around, justto frighten them away, because
you are worthy.
You are worthy of so much love.
You are worthy of being huggedand cuddled by the most

(06:17):
loveliest high vibrationalpeople and you are so worthy of
the life that you want to create.
And so don't let anyone else,including a snake, take that
dream away or take you offcourse.
And sending you so much love.
I hope this resonates.
I hope this connects.
Keep tuning in, keep doing allthe work that you're doing,

(06:38):
because your soul is justsoaring for it, sending you so,
so, so much love.
