Anyone else into this? @Reid Richardson was over in Skoolers & dropped a GIF that I of course took as one more sign that it’s time to head West again. I was researching & diving into my chart last year when I was dreaming of leaving Texas. Just like human design helps you understand certain aspects of who you are, astrocartography identifies energy, patterns & potential locationally.

I’m so not charismatic! 😃😔 🤣🤣🤣 For 22 years I competed with @Jes Divine to be charismatic, to be MORE! I’m a freaking 3/5 Manifestor! And she’s a 2 line which means she’s a natural and on top of that she literally has a channel from her sacral to her throat that is all about charisma. My competition wrecked her ability to succeed, especially when it was easy. It really hasn’t been funny at all. Jealousy and comparing myself, has made me massively controlling. I just had a huge epiphany and I’m throwing in the towel!!! My strategy is to inform people so when I’m competing with her, I don’t inform her and it creates a massive shit show. So I’m gonna quit trying to write charismatic posts for Skool and do what I do best. Ask questions. Inform. And introduce more bad ass people to our community! Here’s to the experiment of living my design! It’s hard to feel worthy when I’m competing. Speaking of, we’re about to launch the group for this, and I’ll make the perfect poster child. 🤣🤣🤣 Does anyone else here struggle with comparisons, or is this just an atypical, masculine male, patriarchal, misogynistic thing? 😜

It was wonderful looking at @Rakesh Rai and @Marianne McCourt's charts! Thank you for allowing us to chat with you! Thank you @Dr. Tracy Davis @Sarah Hankins @Sean Daly @Jen Ritchie for joining us! I love all of your beautiful faces!!!

Business is not linear. It’s circular. Messy and raw. If you’re very new to helping people improve their lives — it’s easy to see that formulas and mindset alone don’t cut the cheese. 🧀 Humans have trauma. Shitty parents. Failed relationships. Shadows Demons And bitterness… You’ve tasted freedom and want to share vulnerably. But it can be terrifying. Traditional bro marketing doesn’t get to the heart (or solar plexus or G-center). It falls flat, like opening an oven on a perfect loaf of bread before it’s done. 🍞 So, like a good self-help marketer, you start sharing your story. Then it hits you like a wheel of cheese! 🧀 (Lactose-intolerant people: continue reading at your own risk. It gets more cheesy.) You hardly know your own story. 🤯 This happened to me. Honestly, it happened more than I care to admit. The key to good marketing is storytelling (relatability), but the fondue 🫕 of good marketing is… VULNERABILITY Messy, icky, sticky, wiki, cheesy stories. AND, if you are going to be an effective coach, spiritual practitioner, or trauma work specialist, and use your story for marketing — you need to be ready. Now comes the tough part to hear… Telling your story without healing is extremely triggering and will only put you back at square one. Note: this is trauma-specialist approved! @Jes Divine, as a public speaker and Yale informant for complex trauma, taught me and other survivors: Timeline your life. Do SHADOW work. (We call it tunnel work.) Learn who you are — Functional Human Design 😜 Forcing yourself to tell your story will only put you back at square one. And that’s where the vulnerability hangover comes in. You don’t have to force yourself to do anything. How are you feeling? Lighter or like melted cheddar? Your healing matters. Your future community matters. YOU matter. Please let me know how this resonated with you. P.S. I’m craving a grilled cheese sandwich. 🥪

And what the heck are you doing here?! I’m learning that I can be off-putting to many people. We all have our downsides and upsides. Discovering who we are AND navigating our lives and businesses as entrepreneurs can be tricky… No amount of strategy and do do do will make you successful or bring you joy. Dammit! I wish I would’ve known that in the first place! 😜 I’m a recovering narcissist. Control freak and I’ve done it in a passive aggressive way. Which is the very opposite of who I truly am. Here comes the grand experiment. Vulnerability. Being who I truly am. Admitting and acknowledging. Shaking off the old identity of trying so fucking hard to be like others — generators and manifesting generators. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Growing up in a small family cult… cult thinking recked me and my current family. Comparisons kill. It’s hard to be known without simply being YOU! At 17 I had an opportunity to built an alternative home (straw bale) for my parents. The building department said I was “not old enough”. But I kept coming back. Over and over again. Until I met with the building inspector. He was reluctant because many homes had burnt down in the county. Looking back it seemed irresponsible of him. Until I learned something about myself… I’m not easily ignored (Manifestor bubble). AND… When someone is inside of my aura they feel safe. The building inspector felt safe even with a minor. 🤯 The home still stands today and it is strong and protective like my aura. We all have shadows. Mine was rooted in unworthiness. The more I was received and loved the more insecure I felt. Comparing myself to those who have very different energy than me, kept me from receiving care and support. It also created competition inside of me, blocking intimacy and true connection. The more my bubble bumped my partner @Jes Divine, the more I hurt her. Defensiveness wrapped in sweetness and empty promises. Lost and confused, I kept my family low — stuck, suppressed. Creativity thrown to the wind and money trapped behind broken dreams.
