Take a breath. Let the noise fall away. This week’s theme has been all about helping you stop being the automatic caretaker, and today’s prompt helps you explore the piece of you that’s shifting under the surface. You’ve held so much for so long. This week cracked open the truth of what happens when you stop holding it all together. Journal Prompt: Where am I still carrying responsibility that was never mine and what would change if I put one piece down? Write slowly. Notice what rises. This is where transformation begins…in the quiet, honest space between you and the page.

To the women who joined us this week - I’m so glad you’re here. You just stepped into a space built for the woman you’re becoming…not the one you’ve had to be. This community isn’t loud, hectic, or performative. It's quiet strength. It's steady growth. It's spiritual support without the noise. It's where people-pleasers come home to themselves. Take your time. Look around. Let your nervous system settle. And trust that you belong here. Please join me in welcoming: @Kim Parkinson @Kim Benoy @JRene'e Caffrey @Melissa Sheffield @Nikki Begg Each of you arrived with your own story and each of you is beginning a new chapter now. If you want a place to start, explore the Start Here section in the classroom. And if you feel called, share an introduction. Not who the world wants you to be, but who you are becoming. We’re honored to walk this journey with you. Welcome to Journey to Self: The Awakening. Your voice matters here.

Slow is not weakness. Slow is wisdom. 🐢 Your pace doesn’t need defending. Your truth doesn’t need rushing. Where is your body asking you to soften today? Share, breathe, or simply receive…all three count as participation here. For those new here - Tess is our mascot. And if you’ve been around a bit, you’ll notice her new look. Every Thursday she brings her wisdom to us.

Take a slow breath with me. Let yourself arrive exactly as you are today. Not the version that’s “put together.” The version that’s real. Here’s your ROAR Alignment for the week: ⭐ The Energy You’re Walking Into Planning & Action — Reversed If things feel slower or unclear, nothing is wrong. This card shows up when the pace needs to soften so your direction can adjust. Sometimes the pause is the plan. ⭐ What You’re Being Asked to Release Discovery — Reversed This points to the habit of searching outside yourself for certainty. Checking, comparing, overthinking…trying not to disappoint anyone. This week asks for less noise and more trust in your own inner voice. ⭐ The Truth Rising in You New Supportive Connections — Reversed A deeper truth is surfacing: you’re done carrying relationships that drain you. You’re ready for support that feels steady and mutual — not heavy or one-sided. Let that clarity rise without guilt. ⭐ Your Power Move This Week Transformation Choose yourself once — intentionally. One pause, one boundary, one honest moment that honors who you’re becoming. Let it be enough. A Gentle Check-In Where is your body asking for softness this week? If you feel like sharing, you’re welcome to. If not, simply let this reading settle in your system. This space doesn’t ask you to perform. You get to be here exactly as you are. Note: Check the classroom under "The Awakening Circle", Weekly Guidance, for the full card reading.

Please help me celebrate @Suzy Wraines for reaching a beautiful milestone on her journey. She’s earned her Tess Blessing — a moment of slow, steady, soul-centered recognition. 💜🐢
