This week I sat with a question that wouldn’t let me go.
What do I want to give? What do I want to receive?
It sounds simple. But when I slowed down long enough to really ask it, love was the answer waiting underneath.
The Woman I Used to Be
There was a season when I was stuck. Lost in people pleasing, shaping myself around what everyone else needed, wanted, expected. I was giving, but not from a full place. I was giving to be accepted.
I didn’t know it then, but I was disconnected from my own personal power.
Reconnecting to that power didn’t happen through striving. It happened through awareness. I had to know my values. I had to get clear on what I actually wanted, not what I thought I should want.
When I defined my values and clarified my vision, something shifted. I could center myself, again and again, on an ordinary day, not just in the big moments. And from that center, I started making choices that were aligned with who I really am.
Alignment Creates Abundance
Here’s what surprised me.
I wasn’t living with financial abundance. I wasn’t living with an abundance of time. And yet I felt an abundance of happiness. Fulfillment I hadn’t touched before.
Not because my circumstances had changed. Because I had.
I was pursuing what mattered most to me. I was being who I wanted to be, doing what I wanted to do, experiencing what I wanted to experience. And that alignment, more than any outer condition, is what created the richness I was feeling.
Is that true for you too? Have you ever felt full in a season when, on paper, you had less?
What Love Asks Us to Give
So back to the question. What do I want to give?
Hope. My own lived experience, offered honestly, without a script.
I believe every woman carries inner wisdom already. When we connect to our own, and then connect with other women who are willing to share theirs, we expand. We grow into our fulfilled self, our whole self. We are always becoming.
That is what I want to give you. Hope that your truth is reachable. Permission to reconnect to your personal power. Support as you create the life you actually want, not the one you inherited or defaulted into.
What Love Asks Us to Receive
And what do I want to receive? The same thing I want to give.
Love. Acceptance. Unconditional, without judgment.
Maybe that’s true for you too. Maybe the giving and the receiving were never two separate things. Maybe love, real love, only completes itself in the circle between them.
A few questions worth sitting with this week:
- What do you want to give right now, in this season of your life?
- What do you want to receive, and are you letting yourself receive it?
- Where in your life could a little more alignment create a little more fulfillment, even without anything else changing?
You don’t have to have this figured out today. You just have to be willing to ask.
I want you to live your truth. If you’re ready to reconnect to what matters most to you, I’d love for you to have my WILD! Wisdom and Awareness Workbook. It’s a starting place, not a formula. A way back to your own inner wisdom.
You are always becoming. You are always creating. Today you are more than you were yesterday, and tomorrow you are more than you are today.
