I missed y’all! Life hit me with a virus, and instead of pushing through, I practiced what I preach—I rested. And in that stillness, something clicked: too many of us are walking around disconnected from our inner YAS—our sacred, soul-level yes—because it’s been buried under other people’s voices.
This episode is for the queens who feel stuck, confused, or overwhelmed because they’ve been outsourcing their clarity to everyone else: family, friends, systems, partners... It's time to come back home to your truth.
What this episode is really about:
- Why you can’t hear your YES when it’s drowned out by everyone else’s “shoulds”
- The authority gap and how it keeps you from trusting your inner wisdom
- The sacred 5-step soul sorting process to reclaim your decision-making power
- What I learned during my divorce about making hard decisions for YOU—not for anyone else
- Why your truth needs protection, incubation, and stillness before it's ready to be shared
- How to stop crowdsourcing your clarity and start trusting your nervous system’s signals
- Journal prompts and practical tools to help you uncover and anchor your YES
