Where are you still shrinking instead of allowing yourself to be seen?
Many women learn to be helpful, agreeable, dependable, and easy to need.
We learn to overgive.
We learn to soften our truth.
We learn to make our dreams more “reasonable.”
We learn to wait for permission.
We learn to hide the parts of ourselves that feel too bold, too different, too much, or too visible.
But abundance often asks something different of us.
It asks us to stop abandoning ourselves.
It asks us to become clear.
It asks us to receive.
It asks us to trust that our work, our voice, our presence, and our gifts have value.
Abundance is not just money.
It is space.
Energy.
Support.
Aligned clients.
Creative freedom.
Rest.
Purpose.
A life that feels like your own.
This Lion’s Gate season, I am reflecting on this:
I do not have to shrink, hide, or overgive to be worthy.
My work has value.
My needs matter too.
I am allowed to be visible.
I am allowed to receive.
I am allowed to create abundance in a way that feels grounded, ethical, and aligned.
Growth happens in seasons.
Maybe this is the season where you stop making yourself smaller and begin taking up space on your own path.
Journal prompt:
What would I create, say, offer, or allow myself to receive if I trusted that the right people are looking for me?
