I LOVE what Goddard has to say about a Woman and her boundaries. He refers to a Woman in a relationship, but I believe this is true for a Woman and her sense of self… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1732075046389-XX9ZPFV54SH3CFZXXCTD/unsplash-image-NQexDDK9P9w.jpg Blog - PERSONAL VALUES, COMMUNICATION - THIS is why I am doing this series based on Goddard’s boundary work. His words were like a balm to my heart, inspiring my soul. “YES!!!” the voice inside my head was shouting. “This NEEDS to be shared, and this needs to be poured out to Women who know but have forgotten (or have felt disconnected from) this truth!” The boundaries we set to empower ourselves to love and to allow us to be the authentic, soul-led, gorgeous creatures The Divine made us be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1732075129766-YXUOPYAIBTFTI4KZO7W8/unsplash-image-vIP7Bgl2Qh8.jpg Blog - PERSONAL VALUES, COMMUNICATION - What do you feel is essential for you to function as your best self? What is needed to live your best life and thrive in your soul purpose and relationships? While this may seem like an easy defining exercise at first glance, I believe it may be more complex than you think. So, forget about your “conditioning”...all that everyone else has put on you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1732075192757-DGTLV3AI45TY5RDVVRUY/unsplash-image-dsKpUDsyDM0.jpg Blog - PERSONAL VALUES, COMMUNICATION - What is important to you? What do you prioritize as necessary to feel as good as possible in life? I can quickly spit out social constructs such as being kind and good, not doing harm, being on time, don’t lie, don’t steal, etc. While those values are great, I am talking about having a super deep personal come-to-Jesus conversation with yourself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1732075371208-KTQ2V1D7373FOP569UFY/unsplash-image-p-ppCccUZiU.jpg Blog - PERSONAL VALUES, COMMUNICATION - What is super important to you? I believe in living our most authentic, set-your-soul-on-fire lives, we HAVE to grow curious about this question. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1732075443954-0C9Y8A5NEUX1ZZTB703A/unsplash-image-oP2LMchsdDU.jpg Blog - PERSONAL VALUES, COMMUNICATION - For me, the list goes on and on, so when it comes down to it... What is important to you in your life? What makes you tick and allows you to be the best version of yourself? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1732075687742-M3IGYPIZPP8CD8WFNZD1/unsplash-image--sevcYYky3k.jpg Blog - PERSONAL VALUES, COMMUNICATION - Next, let’s discuss “Communication,” which is often melded into the concept of “emotional safety” (but that’s the point). Communication in a relationship NEEDS a foundation in emotional safety. We need to feel emotionally safe within ourselves, meaning we know... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/56ec0af5-5b7c-43dc-af67-3ee7e3f11986/pexels-cottonbro-4255404.jpg Blog - PERSONAL VALUES, COMMUNICATION - While this may not be the state of communication in your relationship right now, that’s ok. If you and your partner are willing to learn new ways to talk, disagree, and share your feelings and needs, you can create a new dynamic when it comes to communication. Or, as Neville so brilliantly says… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1732075948803-QV9Q9DUU1MKY96XGH8Q0/unsplash-image-xpDHTc-pkog.jpg Blog - PERSONAL VALUES, COMMUNICATION - I can say this because, for many years, neither I nor my husband communicated effectively in our marriage. I can promise you that this does not set the foundation for honesty, trust, or emotional or sexual intimacy. BUT, once we did learn to communicate, our relationship shifted so much. Those who call themselves religious can have a similar view as I have had… “Well, they are with God and happy now,” meaning if you feel sad, you don’t have the faith that you should…or you wouldn’t feel sad. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1732076340951-P3IKWZ0NFDP142C3S863/unsplash-image-sbjVthVW2X8.jpg Blog - PERSONAL VALUES, COMMUNICATION - Make it stand out Never forget...you GET TO CHOOSE what other boundaries feel good... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/4f2b0b8e-550b-4ecb-9bd9-9732a280fba5/DSC_8111.jpg Blog - PERSONAL VALUES, COMMUNICATION - The journey into the realm of “boundaries” can be confusing, disorienting, and hard to navigate.

So, our first step in transformation is awareness, in other words, becoming aware of what we desire or need to be different based on how we feel or think about ourselves, our lives, or our relationships. In that case, the next step is doing the work necessary to implement change. So, the first step is recognizing we want or need to change, and the second step is beginning the work to make the changes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/bd2fc829-2e52-4289-8eb2-52dad34459de/pexels-vovaflame-3968083.jpg Blog - EMOTIONAL SAFETY - So, in the past month, I have discussed many ways we self-abandon when it comes to our emotions. Hopefully, this created some awareness of where you may not be meeting your emotional needs or ignoring them altogether. Now it is time to do the work of what needs to change to no longer self-abandon around your emotional safety. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/bef1d88d-0f5b-4917-908a-02e1dbf3d113/pexels-wesleydavi-20781317.jpg Blog - EMOTIONAL SAFETY - How exactly do we know ourselves? By knowing what we are feeling and how to handle those emotions. Our emotions help us to identify what we need. When we know what we need, we can meet our needs or ask for help when necessary. It is not anyone else’s responsibility to know what we feel or need; that is up to us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/77e5979d-664e-4d41-961d-cab750754541/pexels-olia-danilevich-8964945.jpg Blog - EMOTIONAL SAFETY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/f8e767bd-129f-4abe-9cfd-eb960c74728b/pexels-cottonbro-5359296.jpg Blog - EMOTIONAL SAFETY - We must spend time with ourselves to create emotional safety within ourselves and our relationships Time and space are necessary to cultivate a connection with our soul. Learning how to say no to all the excess, all the noise- at least for a little while is imperative. Having your own space and listening to your dreams and hopes will eventually guide you in your purpose. It will also grow trust, respect for yourself, and worth in yourself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/c2dbdc8c-65c4-450b-a55c-1c41afd961cc/pexels-esra-afsar-123882149-14755108.jpg Blog - EMOTIONAL SAFETY - As Women, we bring so much to our relationships and the lives of others when we are in our true essence in our Divine Feminine Energy. Conversely, setting boundaries (Divine Masculine energy) is necessary to reach this space. Boundaries allow us to live as our most authentic selves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/4f2b0b8e-550b-4ecb-9bd9-9732a280fba5/DSC_8111.jpg Blog - EMOTIONAL SAFETY - The boundary-setting journey can be confusing, disorienting, and hard to navigate. But if you’re ready for a sneak peek into what a personalized journey of support, education, and life-changing tools could look like, especially for YOU, let’s connect with a FREE DISCOVERY CALL today! https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/renouncing-your-power-through-codependency monthly 0.5 2024-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/9bca7031-b004-45a5-bee2-c16e0ed050fe/pexels-wandfotografia-9270512.jpg Blog - RENOUNCING YOUR POWER THROUGH CODEPENDENCY - And yet, as Women, we are so very often (let me repeat that) SO…VERY…OFTEN giving our power away, and we don’t even know it. This pattern or way of behaving can be (in some instances) referred to as “codependent.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/c520779a-fcde-4cce-9d5e-9b61ae596d60/pexels-mart-production-7230269.jpg Blog - RENOUNCING YOUR POWER THROUGH CODEPENDENCY - According to Melody Beattie, the word “codependency” showed up in the late 1970s and was often used to describe someone who was in a relationship with a chemically dependent person. No longer are the days when one has to have a loved one who is an alcoholic or drug addict in order to exhibit codependent tendencies. I love Pia Mellody’s book “Facing Codependence” because she goes into such depth about the subject and, in my opinion, does it in a self-evaluation way that doesn’t base itself around an addict per se. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1731017884533-TR8IJ5SVKPUF18CZLAA6/unsplash-image-Y8QTiWuzYSs.jpg Blog - RENOUNCING YOUR POWER THROUGH CODEPENDENCY - Feeling this way as a child resulted in my making sure that those around me, primarily those who were responsible for my well-being, were always happy so that they would continue to provide for my needs, which meant being friendly and having the least amount of anger as possible. I brought this pattern with me into adulthood and most of my interactions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1731017989886-RHR6ADI6LZ7A0193AUZV/unsplash-image-EGmoLCtuT5o.jpg Blog - RENOUNCING YOUR POWER THROUGH CODEPENDENCY - I’ll never forget the day my coach and mentor Debbie asked me, “When did you first make a decision strictly for yourself?” My reply was quick. “The day my mother died.” I don’t know if that is entirely true, but that was what it felt like. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1731018120193-UJVW7KXPY6UHVXVCTV9Y/unsplash-image-wtylJ213zFE.jpg Blog - RENOUNCING YOUR POWER THROUGH CODEPENDENCY - For me, awareness was the first step. I knew that I was living in a very dysfunctional relationship with my mom and then my husband. I knew this because I didn’t know where they ended, but I began. I knew this because I was so resentful of the life I was living because I was pretending that I wanted what I had (when I didn’t). I was pretending that I felt a certain way when I didn’t; in essence, I was pretending so much of the time that I didn’t even know my own reality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1731018330624-HTLFHHY3R7HLODT3I7FL/unsplash-image-X1exjxxBho4.jpg Blog - RENOUNCING YOUR POWER THROUGH CODEPENDENCY - How do you give your power away to others? How do you allow others to power over your energy, thoughts, and behaviors? It may not be obvious, so I encourage you to get curious and go beneath the surface of your closest relationships. And READ. The two books I shared are my favorites, but there are many more, as well as seminars, workshops, courses, coaching, and therapy available. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/4f2b0b8e-550b-4ecb-9bd9-9732a280fba5/DSC_8111.jpg Blog - RENOUNCING YOUR POWER THROUGH CODEPENDENCY - If you believe you are giving your power away and need help, REACH OUT. There is a whole different way to do life. You get to step into your power and feel good about yourself.

It’s so weird how things work like that. For example, I have an idea that seems generally good and possibly significant. And, like most of my ideas, I get guidance from Spirit to expound on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1730101390581-YNCF9SWD31F9P7A445JK/unsplash-image-2sNnC0zDOBQ.jpg Blog - SELF-ABANDONMENT IN GRIEF - This was the 80s, and emotional intelligence wasn’t really a thing in my family and Midwest surroundings. They probably also didn’t realize that I was extremely sensitive and deep into co-dependency even at such a young age…that I was already pretty fucked up in the head and knew it was best just to pretend that everything was ok because I needed to help the adults in my life to feel better. My grief at this point wasn’t affected until after my senior year in high school. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/a3da28bf-eaab-433f-babb-3a574a29a1ef/Screenshot+2024-10-28+at+2.46.37%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - SELF-ABANDONMENT IN GRIEF - Then, I was sent an article by Cheryl Strayed that was initially published in The Sun in 2002 and later republished in honor of their 50th anniversary. The article is called “The Love of My Life.” In it, Strayed writes of the loss of her mother and her experiences that came after. It is, in my opinion, a beautifully written piece on the varying emotions and ways we handle grief- as well as how we don’t handle grief on a personal and a societal level (you can check it here). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/00e1e94a-0853-463a-af26-f3f482e58af0/pexels-mert-coskun-386432351-29004937.jpg Blog - SELF-ABANDONMENT IN GRIEF - And this abandoning of grief brought what felt like accolades. Since I was doing well, people seemed to find this healthy, the right way to be. I saw a grief therapist that I wouldn’t come to see as genuinely beneficial until a few years later, who was the only one who explained and accepted my grief. I still denied it so much, however. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1730105403049-UTYN8FKAH5TICD4947YY/unsplash-image-BV1OPtEvFpE.jpg Blog - SELF-ABANDONMENT IN GRIEF - Make it stand out Those who call themselves religious can have a similar view as I have had… “Well, they are with God and happy now,” meaning if you feel sad, you don’t have the faith that you should…or you wouldn’t feel sad. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/79e2520a-99d4-441f-b660-8d9a94c8d829/unsplash-image-VjpAinGcALg.jpg Blog - SELF-ABANDONMENT IN GRIEF - Make it stand out Some turn to activities that take away the pain for a bit—like drinking a bit too much (me again). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1730102109754-Z37DQQUTZ3U1RH68I3N0/unsplash-image-IqSaG9zv2e0.jpg Blog - SELF-ABANDONMENT IN GRIEF - Looking back over the past 4 years, I can see all the different ways I have tried to avoid feeling the grief of my mom. And the truth is, it still comes. As much as I have tried to run, it has caught up with me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/d9534e1d-d012-4c3f-9a22-934a53902c9b/unsplash-image-IEgvy4o3byM.jpg Blog - SELF-ABANDONMENT IN GRIEF - Make it stand out Grief is a process, and it is one that we can step into and be healthier for. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/4f2b0b8e-550b-4ecb-9bd9-9732a280fba5/DSC_8111.jpg Blog - SELF-ABANDONMENT IN GRIEF - The journey out of self-abandonment can be confusing, disorienting, and hard to navigate.

The thing is, my partners had NO IDEA. It was a piece of me that I kept hidden. I felt ashamed. I felt something was wrong with me…that I was wired wrong. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1729100708924-9L5K3KPKR1AGH7V4HFV6/unsplash-image-szDgSEpVA7E.jpg Blog - THE SHADOW SIDE OF SEXUALITY - As I have shared before… I grew up in a very open household with a mom who talked with me about sex from a very young age. I was taught to be comfortable with my body with my sexuality and that sex was natural and meant to be enjoyed. So, it was interesting that I differed so much from this forward-thinking view internally. What I have come to realize is that while mentally, this is what I knew and honestly believed, physically, I carried deep wounds of codependency, abandonment issues, some emotional abuse, and extreme people-pleasing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/77e5743b-ff0f-46f2-82ff-07af94b2a05d/pexels-ron-lach-8261181.jpg Blog - THE SHADOW SIDE OF SEXUALITY - Why do I share all this? Because while I wish I were alone in this experience, I know I am not. Your story may differ, but I’m guessing certain parts resonate. For those of you who don’t have a “self-abandonment sex story” at all, that is a blessing. But for those that do, you have a space, support, and a way to change the experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1729100538670-XF8PMYO53HU1JPXV2OYF/unsplash-image-B5LZDN_t_fc.jpg Blog - THE SHADOW SIDE OF SEXUALITY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1729100819853-7DAKD11CVR3SPWJLSVH5/unsplash-image-jtaRZsHVjCw.jpg Blog - THE SHADOW SIDE OF SEXUALITY - It doesn’t have to stay this way. YOU are the one who can create a different experience for yourself. To heal your sexual trauma or discomfort or beliefs that may be outdated and no longer serving you. The first step is acknowledging what isn’t working within your sexuality and your sex life. Then, look at what the next step is in creating change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/4f2b0b8e-550b-4ecb-9bd9-9732a280fba5/DSC_8111.jpg Blog - THE SHADOW SIDE OF SEXUALITY - The journey out of self-abandonment can be confusing, disorienting, and hard to navigate.

Sex certainly doesn’t need to include love for another person- not in everyone’s eyes, anyway. And I am not here to debate that part of sex today. In fact, it’s actually a moot point in today’s conversation on sex. The part I am interested in diving into today is love as it pertains to ourselves in sex. Now, it could be said that love as it pertains to yourself with sex does, in fact, mean you need to love the person you are having sex with- great. If you know this about yourself, you are headed in the right direction. But let’s go even deeper… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1728523126327-N6DPJOM2I05YOFHHSU9X/unsplash-image-XGC8-Nj11vQ.jpg Blog - SEXUALITY: WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? - So many factors come into play when we begin reflecting on our relationship with sex. As a woman who is almost 46 and in my midlife awakening, my relationship with sex was underwhelming as well as dysfunctional and definitely (until the last few years) could be classified as self-abandoning. So, I would never single anyone out, but they say what is personal is universal; I guess some of you may have a similar experience. Unfortunately, so many women are not taught – yes, taught- how important it is to have a relationship with sex. AND IT BEGINS WITH OURSELVES. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/8c0c9d57-421d-45e9-9d05-56aefac299a4/unsplash-image-DamEfPuqRvU.jpg Blog - SEXUALITY: WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? - The other part of this is that women are often not taught how to connect to their own sexuality. Again, whether it is from a religion, family, or culture, sexuality is often viewed as bad, off limits, something not to talk about, or something that needs to be hid and pretend it doesn’t exist. So, I get being private to an extent. Still, unfortunately, I believe there is an enormous amount of women who are disconnected from their sexuality. I believe this is affecting every other area of their lives, as well as their partner’s lives, and the lives of their children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1728523481318-74UUTANW1OJSYL9XB4XF/unsplash-image-oha7AANDiL8.jpg Blog - SEXUALITY: WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/7137dc20-d398-495c-aefb-46193dc9fc44/Screenshot+2024-10-09+at+8.26.07%E2%80%AFPM.jpg Blog - SEXUALITY: WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? - I was blessed enough to do a “Pleasure Boot Camp” training by Mama Gena (more formally known as Regena Thomashauer). It was life-changing, and I highly recommend her books if you are looking to connect deeper to your sexuality and your senses—your sensuality. While this may not be for everyone, for those who want to read a bit of a wilder view on sexuality, these may be right up your alley. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/88e45090-b2fe-4c15-8404-02f3e500a1a5/pexels-margarita-141441249-10977934.jpg Blog - SEXUALITY: WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? - Do you know what you like? If not, why not explore? Read, learn. There is so much conscious, intelligent information out there. Reach out to a professional if you have experienced sexual trauma and feel ready to begin a healing journey. Get to know yourself and your body. Learn to love and honor this beautiful vessel you were given. Change your perspective on the parts of you that you would like to be different and take some action. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1728524001310-1IZXTVV35MSIP4T12Q5D/unsplash-image-6GmVt60qwlY.jpg Blog - SEXUALITY: WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? - This is a subject I have grown so passionate about, just a morsel of all I desire to write about. Midlife is an incredible time to deepen our relationships with our hearts, our souls, our bodies, and our sexuality. We get to step deeper into this feminine energy in a beautiful, empowering way- a way where we are loving and knowing our bodies. It is a way to give to ourselves so we can create what we desire with another in an intimate, authentic way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/4f2b0b8e-550b-4ecb-9bd9-9732a280fba5/DSC_8111.jpg Blog - SEXUALITY: WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? - The journey out of self-abandonment can be confusing, disorienting, and hard to navigate. But if you’re ready for a sneak peek into what a personalized journey of support, education, and life-changing tools could look like, especially for YOU, let’s connect with a FREE DISCOVERY CALL today! https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/punitive-vs-righteous-anger monthly 0.5 2024-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/7d0c54ab-067e-4ab4-aeef-35fdb01693ed/pexels-nikitaxnikitin-10436579.jpg Blog - PUNITIVE vs RIGHTEOUS ANGER - I used to pride myself on NOT being an angry person. I always liked to be seen as the nice and easy-to-get-along-with one. Whenever I heard that someone had a contrary view of me, I would take offense and spend hours thinking about the events that might have led them to see me in a negative light. I still remember the first time someone told me that I was disliked. It was during my sophomore year of high school when a friend let me know that a large group of people did not like me. I was devastated, not because I cared for those people, but because I tried so hard to be seen as nice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/d8ea918f-c510-4a88-a11c-dd76a2f93fb9/pexels-cottonbro-10496564.jpg Blog - PUNITIVE vs RIGHTEOUS ANGER - I found myself yelling at my children, which was the last thing I wanted. I was self-abandoning my own needs to meet the needs of others and trying too hard to suppress my anger, which led me to feel unsupported and alone. I was suffering from depression and exhaustion and was trying so hard to ignore my anger and what it was trying to tell me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/e34b2a85-6d7f-4b8e-94d7-4eb45d9d4bd7/pexels-cottonbro-3831881.jpg Blog - PUNITIVE vs RIGHTEOUS ANGER - While it may not be necessary to be hyper-aware of every single feeling, the ones that keep showing up are definitely worth paying attention to. Every emotion shows us what we need, including anger. Anger isn't bad; it's amazing! The problem lies in understanding the difference between punitive anger and righteous anger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/e4d335d8-f0ba-4917-8dbd-67191c4ddd11/pexels-olenkabohovyk-3541390.jpg Blog - PUNITIVE vs RIGHTEOUS ANGER - Women are rarely taught the difference. Women are referred to as bitches regardless of whether their anger is punitive or righteous. Many times, we don’t have the guidance growing up on how to channel our anger in a way that will do good or how we can communicate with others in a respectful but firm, non-negotiable way that gets our point across. We aren’t always shown how to draw a line in the sand and say, “Do not cross this.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/8c0fff9d-468f-4df0-aad0-8983792cdacf/rochelle-brown-OedMkCaf_7o-unsplash.jpg Blog - PUNITIVE vs RIGHTEOUS ANGER - And if you are a woman who has these skills, GOD BLESS YOU. Teach them to your daughters, to her friends, and your friends. Embodying righteous anger is a necessary skill for change-makers. Remember, righteous anger has love and a desire for the greater good behind it; it’s not about getting even. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/fa37e80d-9457-4be3-ab1d-188358aadda6/pexels-cottonbro-4753889.jpg Blog - PUNITIVE vs RIGHTEOUS ANGER - Anger needs a safe space to be released in which it won’t cause hurt to anyone else. This can look like journaling and keeping your journal in a private place away from others. Venting our anger can look like finding a place where you can scream and kick and release the pent-up energy your body is holding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1727667464439-VZF720L72U4RI9RZLI0X/image-asset.jpeg Blog - PUNITIVE vs RIGHTEOUS ANGER - I've been working on managing my anger, and it's been a challenging journey for me. I've learned to direct my anger in a positive way and still feel love for myself. However, there are times when I feel like I could have handled my anger better, which makes me feel guilty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/572ee646-6019-4473-b3f2-2b11d634b641/gayatri-malhotra-FRk2RM2YSDg-unsplash.jpg Blog - PUNITIVE vs RIGHTEOUS ANGER - On the other hand, I've also found inspiration from my mother, who channeled her anger into positive change as an activist and feminist. I've been reflecting on her energy and how it can be used to create positive change and set boundaries. I'm learning to embrace my inner strength and not be afraid to say no or set boundaries.I've come to realize that it's okay if not everyone likes me, and I'm growing in my sense of self and faith. https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/becoming-self-centered monthly 0.5 2024-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/b9f97b80-c434-4d7e-8006-22d33334dded/DSC_6817.jpg Blog - BECOMING “SELF-CENTERED” - “A woman who loves herself, knows herself, and accepts herself in her entirety is intoxicating. A woman who embodies her worth and value because she is a creation of the Divine is a woman unlike any other. We were all created in this image. It is now the time to step into this energy and release all the unhelpful beliefs and patterns holding us back from becoming the fullest versions of ourselves.” Elizabeth Marth Tarara Founder & CEO of Sacred Freedom https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/fe388649-2621-4d1d-b413-3e7b85756785/pexels-arina-krasnikova-5418308.jpg Blog - BECOMING “SELF-CENTERED” - See, God knows that humans can't give what we don’t have- not in a sustainable way, at least. To be the women we desire to be, it is essential to fill our cups first before we can authentically and in a loving way fill the cups of others. And it is necessary to begin filling our cups by turning to Spirit, or whatever your Source may be. When we start with Divine Connection and receive what we need and want from that energy, we are more equipped to listen to our hearts and give ourselves the love, attention, and time we desire for our own Soul’s purpose. After this, those around us get the best version of ourselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1727301658582-BRGSKUEMQTPJ1055XPPL/unsplash-image-wUg8xhJ3aBs.jpg Blog - BECOMING “SELF-CENTERED” - When women put themselves LAST, when they self-abandon for the sake of being good, appreciated, or validated day after day, month after month, year after year- DISEASE sets in. Do we honestly think that it is a coincidence that breast cancer and ovarian cancer are rampant? Why affairs and divorces are at an all-time high? Why is teen suicide up, as well as self-harm and drug use? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/310b4d32-de7b-46c6-8db5-14d3af76ae87/pexels-lenzatic-21765227.jpg Blog - BECOMING “SELF-CENTERED” - Tired and Overworked Feeling Underappreciated Unseen and Unheard …BECAUSE WE’RE NOT LISTENING TO OURSELVES. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1727302502503-KAKJ0XIZSLIVJZRXHSCR/unsplash-image-l1y-AOcu_yc.jpg Blog - BECOMING “SELF-CENTERED” - I am the first to be transparent and say this is not the way I lived when my children were young when I was caring for my dad with dementia, my grandmother who was living with us, or my mom when she was dying of ALS. It is not how I lived for most of my marriage or life. And to be honest, a lot of my life has been an emotional train wreck. Sometimes, I was so depleted I didn’t think I could go on. And then I learned a different way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/462afc4e-7b73-4ac1-b784-be547ecc4157/pexels-yartyna-356973772-14306106.jpg Blog - BECOMING “SELF-CENTERED” - Is it in your personal care, your relationships, your parenting, your health, your finances, your work, your desires, your sex life, your personal expression?

While I grew up reading the Bible and its teachings based around the idea of God’s gift of free will—or, in other words, the human ability to choose for ourselves—I never fully understood what it meant until the last few years. Through much studying, reading, and learning, I have come to understand what choice means for me and the freedom I have found in this gift. Choice is a gift; it is a freedom that we all have spiritually, mentally, and emotionally—although it is not a freedom we feel we all have in the physical realm. For the sake of today’s blog, I am concentrating on the spiritual, emotional, and mental realms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/bd9131e4-9a41-43dd-a0bb-27374d7a46d9/unsplash-image-ABJDGBtciK4.jpg Blog - THE POWER OF CHOICE - Once I began to understand the power of perspective—the power of choice—everything began to change for me. When I began reading John Randolph Price, Katherine Woodward Thomas, Louise Hay, Neville Goddard, and Florence Scovel Shinn (just to name a few), I began to become aware and understand that my mind was the tool to change everything in my world.

It doesn’t mean that we will always understand the why. Sometimes, God allows us to see the bigger picture, and sometimes, not. But if we trust that the Divine is ALWAYS with us and is providing for us, sometimes that knowing is enough. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/21507dda-bd29-43e1-a17c-1e7a28919394/unsplash-image-mJ53gH8lDkc.jpg Blog - THE POWER OF CHOICE - I hope some of these practices help grow your awareness of the power of your choice. And if you need some help, that is what Sacred Freedom is all about—allowing your curiosity to take you to the place your soul is calling to, allowing yourself to heal in areas that need healing, and allowing the release that needs to happen in order to let go of that which is no longer serving you so you can move into what is truly meant for you, your relationships, and your life. https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/alignment monthly 0.5 2024-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/e7913333-3f55-47f9-9184-15225014a06c/unsplash-image-bQYV0dz9GjE.jpg Blog - ALIGNMENT…ARE YOU IN OR OUT? - “Alignment” is a word often used in spiritual circles and other areas of life. It pertains to being on a path and following the direction of that path. And yet, as simple as it sounds on paper, the concept has perplexed me for years, yielding a continual question: What does “alignment” actually mean to me for my life? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/b821ef32-9fde-4252-a611-63b106aabfd0/unsplash-image-4rgGY-Aa308.jpg Blog - ALIGNMENT…ARE YOU IN OR OUT? - The practice of noticing requires the practice of awareness of: THOUGHTS What am I making a belief?

Relaxed, fluid? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1723168681509-0TVNZNBZSQN8E7G2O9N4/unsplash-image-Xoj8YiTqDlU.jpg Blog - ALIGNMENT…ARE YOU IN OR OUT? - …but once I started growing in my awareness, in my consciousness, and in my intention of the kind of life I wanted to co-create and the kind of relationships I desired to have, I never wanted to go back to the autopilot, haphazard, chaotic life that I once believed was normal. Life doesn’t need to feel like that. There is a different way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/fc7869ed-6361-4331-b796-9b11164da918/pexels-denisersl-4273041.jpg Blog - ALIGNMENT…ARE YOU IN OR OUT? - WHAT IN YOUR LIFE DOESN’T feel GOOD?

We have been friends since 5th grade and have shared in the good, the bad, and the ugly. It had been months since we had seen each other, and we had the great pleasure of meeting at the local pool while our kids swam, where we could catch up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/cc1a46a0-f934-43e7-8a3c-afbb2c5de622/unsplash-image-FcSYIRwh4Bw.jpg Blog - RELATIONSHIPS & CREATING OUR OWN EXPERIENCES - So, as I have been going along, meditating, practicing energetics, praying, and reading—all of my practices that have become a daily, necessary part of my life as I continue to walk my own transformational journey— wouldn’t you know that Spirit decided May was a PERFECT time for my own growth opportunity.

Initially, it was definitely easier for me to blame others for the situations that arose. I didn’t want to see my part. I shared that while my Higher Self lives from a place of forgiveness and seeing things from different perspectives, seeing the best in others and taking responsibility for what is mine- including the energy I am projecting out that affects my circumstances, I let my ego self get the best of me at times. Simply put… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/ad1d06b9-41ba-44a7-9380-d242e7e86209/pexels-anastasia-shuraeva-6014743.jpg Blog - RELATIONSHIPS & CREATING OUR OWN EXPERIENCES - After weeks of processing everything that happened, I know it’s okay. As I am still evolving, growing, and learning, I will hit sharp and flat notes. This was an opportunity to reflect and see where I still desire to grow, to transform the parts of me that no longer feel aligned. While I won’t be rushing to have those experiences again, I am grateful for the learning and growth that came from them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/d1660eed-5d14-4acd-a0ff-141a31d3fde1/unsplash-image-bX-N-0sz8gg.jpg Blog - RELATIONSHIPS & CREATING OUR OWN EXPERIENCES - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/a924ea02-5cfa-4c42-bbb4-2bc3789d5da5/pexels-ksu-eli-studio-78564297-8723292.jpg Blog - RELATIONSHIPS & CREATING OUR OWN EXPERIENCES https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/sacred-spaces monthly 0.5 2024-05-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/d835977d-713d-4003-8084-94387e1d253c/CEILING.png Blog - SACRED SPACES - It is the name on which all of my work is based, and it has motivated my journey for the last three-plus years. I believe that freedom (which will mean something different for all of us) is SACRED. I believe that everything in life can be seen as sacred if we have the eyes to see it from that perspective. For me, Sacred Freedom means deep gratitude and wonder for the privilege of aligning with my Soul Self—the woman God created me to be. It means feeling deeply connected to the Divine Spirit within me and being able to choose what is most true to my heart. This is not a freedom I take lightly. It is one that many women are not able to have given their social, economic, or political circumstances. That truth guides me even deeper as I feel a Divine Desire to live in my truth, or the Divine Purposes that my life was created for, as well as help other women awaken to their soul’s purpose and desires. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/277e3b58-4bab-4aa1-808f-51ef9069dd6a/Florence+3.png Blog - SACRED SPACES - In order to live from this place of Divine Purpose and freedom, I am required to grow my awareness daily so I can see, hear, feel, smell, and taste the sacred that surrounds me always. You see, when we are aware, we can choose to be in a place of gratitude, regardless of our circumstances or our emotions. We open ourselves up to a higher level of being able to see—not just the physical beauty that surrounds us, but also the spiritual beauty of all that God has created for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/08468c53-57fe-423e-ba82-59b7f1684d36/PASTA.png Blog - SACRED SPACES - Last week, I had the privilege of being in Florence, Italy. Talk about being in my awareness, in the present moment, and taking in the sacred of all that surrounded me at every moment! I was able to be present and deeply connected to all of my senses through each of my experiences. My soul was ignited by the taste of the delicious food, beautifully presented, as well as the gorgeous red wine from the hills that rose up around me, the sounds of Italian opera floating up through the window from the piazza below, and the church bells ringing. I walked through the cobbled streets, wet from rain and crowded with people, and would stumble upon a sacred piece of art or an ancient piece of history. There were beautiful gardens, the full moon’s reflection on the Arno, and a church on the top of a hill with Mother Mary surrounded by candlelight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/004eb2fa-77d8-4d05-b4c7-a27138bb1df6/Florence+3.png Blog - SACRED SPACES - The entire experience satiated my senses and made me feel the Spirit of the Divine within and around me at every moment. The beauty and sacredness of these spaces are palpable. They have the capability to transform, create, and inspire. They reflect the sacred space that each of us holds within us and remind us of the importance of creating the time and space to nurture this part of our soul. This is where we can connect with the deeper, Divine part of us (that I refer to as our Soul Self)). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/9e0be775-a603-42c8-a69d-e8c18948d290/EXTERIOR.png Blog - SACRED SPACES - It is the part of us that is deeply connected to the most aligned version of ourselves, where we feel our soul’s passion, purpose, and inspiration—our Truth. It is when we go within to spend time with our soul that we are able to create a beautiful, safe, Sacred Space for ourselves to receive emotional healing, growth, and transformation. What we create within will then be reflected outwardly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1717171428175-9W6YFRBHB721ZOAPY17D/Florence+1.png Blog - SACRED SPACES - This week, I encourage you to prioritize the time and space to meet with this. This will open you up to a deeper level of awareness and gratitude to see the beauty of all that surrounds you. The Divine is always showing us the abundance of its creations through our senses. Allow for the Sacred. https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/releasing-toxic-behaviors monthly 0.5 2024-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1712268211173-9TY6F7UGL0BNC5XKPKXY/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING TOXICITY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1712268248493-8ZE6GSRQA9PW9T3EFRJN/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING TOXICITY - When we experience a major loss or life-altering change, we will have some emotions around it. We will have energy that needs to be released and transformed, and we will need support in creating safety and stability for ourselves—emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. So…what does that look like? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1712268290233-CIJ0U6I5RLLDZ62Y0RHF/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING TOXICITY - When we connect to this part of us, it allows us to feel validated in our hurt or whatever emotion we are experiencing; we are able to hold ourselves accountable for why we feel the way we do. We have to see ourselves. We have to believe that we matter. That what we think, feel, and want matters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1712268525735-I9LV87SX33CXJK2DXEG0/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING TOXICITY - This can be super hard for some of us to see our part in what we are experiencing. We may not want to admit that we contributed to our circumstances. It can be so much easier to blame or shame the other person. But the truth is, we don’t find growth in this perspective. This is not a place where we can shift our thinking or create new opportunities to make different choices. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1712268768946-4JB58SA4ZTKVUCW4NR80/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING TOXICITY - What may have those actions and choices cost you? Like, what really was the impact they may have had on the other person or people involved? And let’s not forget, just as importantly, what is the impact it had on yourself? What did you have to sacrifice as a result of your choices? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1712268721974-UPBYAUZLEKQ8UUYFQPB9/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING TOXICITY - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/releasing-the-old monthly 0.5 2024-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1712268129109-8WFULSS6DS9YN4BF057B/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING THE OLD - One of the main concepts in Step #4 of “Releasing the Relationship” is to take a journey of reflection to examine the spoken and unspoken agreements formed during your relationship: We often don’t consider the importance of being conscious of what we agree to, both in thought, word, and deed. Not that the relationship has ended as it once did, but we have the opportunity to become aware of those agreements that no longer fit and look to release the energy that was created around them. This release allows new agreements to be thought of and formed to create a new way. This process doesn’t need to be done with the other person; it can be meant just for you. It is, after all, very much about you, your growth, and the new path you wish to create. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1712267602743-5VNUTTCS19TEWYMP45UM/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING THE OLD - Many times, these unspoken agreements cause pain to one or both parties. Anytime we are operating unconsciously or avoiding and ignoring it operating in a shadow of some sort. This is where confusion, resentment, and unintentional (and sometimes intentional) dishonesty come into play. It is a place of non or unhealthy communication, not a space or energy that allows growth. The great gift here is that once we re-awaken to our old patterns of behavior, we can reflect on what caused us to begin thinking and creating from this wound. That’s why the other steps are so important. It is much easier to move forward and release our old patterns when we understand what motivated us to show up that way to begin with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/964298c7-0f0f-46b5-a2fc-263e7010e11e/image-asset.jpg Blog - RELEASING THE OLD - I had many unspoken agreements with my mother (as so many of us do within our family of origin) that I then brought into my marriage. Thoughts such as “my wants and needs are not as important as others” caused me to behave in ways that actually created situations where this would play out. As it would happen, this caused much resentment and unhappiness on my part. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1712267897317-9RF80CWF7DGPMR5PT6JD/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING THE OLD - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/releasing-old-woundings monthly 0.5 2024-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1711151174939-KJJ9MF2YVXUXSO11CK9Q/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING OLD WOUNDINGS - I am continuing on to Step #3 in my Releasing the Relationship series. This week is about the necessity of releasing energy and thoughts regarding our old wounds and owning our truth. When we identify our core beliefs that are holding us back from living as our Higher Soul Selves, we can then transform these beliefs and patterns to create different relationships—both with ourselves and with others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1711151080121-9XOC4E1444ANKOPSL8TM/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING OLD WOUNDINGS - So what does that look like? Well, it all begins with our “Source Fracture Story,” or certain thoughts and beliefs that we formed about ourselves, others, and life during our childhood. Most of us experienced some kind of trauma when we were young, which, of course, will vary in intensity. Regardless, we came to think and thus believe certain thoughts about ourselves that weren’t true. These thoughts could be… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1711151125403-6R0KDZ34VKWNHCXZOB8S/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING OLD WOUNDINGS - This was (and at times, still is) my own personal wound- or my “Source Fracture.” Our wounding shows up in ways we may not even notice until we have an awakening of awareness. Usually a loss or a break up of some kind is what wakes us up to the reality that something isn’t quite working in our lives. We notice that we feel taken advantage of, or that we are always striving but never quite getting to where we want to be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1711151232937-16RC36X69JHJH8Z9U5M4/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING OLD WOUNDINGS - Once we are able to identify our main core wound or source fracture- we all have several, but generally there is a main one that keeps us up at night so to speak- one that most of our coping mechanisms are based on… then we can begin to investigate what false beliefs, thoughts and patterns are associated with this belief and how it is showing up in ourselves, in our relationships as well as our perception of others, as well as in our life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/dcc58091-0862-404d-adf2-bc4d875a10ff/pexels-vika-glitter-9486079.jpg Blog - RELEASING OLD WOUNDINGS - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/dc3b1aec-2388-46aa-bf39-e13b69eef54a/Step+%233+Reflective+Journal.png Blog - RELEASING OLD WOUNDINGS - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/releasing-blame monthly 0.5 2024-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1710439927445-ZK8ELJV0V8PNIY7UQ8X1/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING BLAME - I am continuing to Step #2 in my “Releasing the Relationship” series. This week is about the importance of releasing blame and embodying the truth of empowerment. Before I began studying and learning the principles and concepts of Conscious Uncoupling, I had very little awareness of how I was showing up in my relationships- both with myself as well as with others. Don’t get me wrong, I was raised to be polite, and care about other people’s feelings, to be a “good” person, and do the “right” things. But as far as how to actually BE in relationship with another- to show up authentically, to show up aware of my feelings, to know what it was I actually needed, to set boundaries and know my non-negotiables, to feel safe within myself to communicate and be honest…ummmm no. Definitely not. And I had been doing emotional growth work for years! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1710439996877-H9950VX2Z8G8NQA06373/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING BLAME - But what I have come to see and understand is, that I wasn’t alone. There are so many of us who weren’t taught to share who we authentically are, what we feel, or communicate what we need and want. These basic fundamental principles of a healthy relationship are missing for so many people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1710440300583-QYJ96M2MWQSMWP88VQDI/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING BLAME - Instead, we were taught to keep our needs quiet, for fear of making someone angry or sad, or any other emotion that would get us in trouble. We were meant to not really have needs or heaven forbid wants because we should be grateful for what we have and we don’t want to appear selfish. For many there was either a spoken or unspoken suggestion that we make ourselves smaller, so we don’t draw attention, or appear “too much” in anyway- we wouldn’t want to make anyone else uncomfortable with our talents, or our opinions, or our voice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/a8950fb5-2fec-43a2-8298-25023cf6470c/pexels-tatiana-syrikova-3932867.jpg Blog - RELEASING BLAME - This conditioning doesn’t just happen within our families. We can learn this in school, in places of religion, in places of work. And the thing is, many of the people that we learn these ways of being from- have absolutely know idea what they are teaching. I truly don’t believe it was taught in malice- I believe it was taught with an unconscious, unaware belief of protection, a way of getting by, of surviving in this world. So, there is no blame or shame here, but there is the opportunity to shift our perspective. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1710440672752-SK2PX6PBG0YNNEZ1YI4J/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING BLAME - What happens when we take on these beliefs and bring them into our relationships is that we don’t know how to identify what we feel, what we need and what we want. We don’t know how to set boundaries, and we often times don’t know how to speak up for ourselves for fear we will be rejected or abandoned. So we hide- we hide our passions, our needs, our voices, ourselves. We (consciously or unconsciously) make the other person more important and self-abandon in various ways. The problem -other than the obvious- comes when we start to become resentful of the other person. This will show up in one form or another. Whenever we compromise ourselves and self-abandon- you can be sure that resentment will come. And it will not be pretty. It will show up as toxic fights, or toxic silence, as an affair, as illness, as anxiety, as depression, as suicidal thoughts, as dissociation. Resentment has many faces, one of the most common- BLAME. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/764962e8-678f-477d-b548-56841aa7801f/pexels-shadman-16947421.jpg Blog - RELEASING BLAME - When we are in our emotions, deeply overwhelmed, hurt, sad, and angry, and everything in our lives seems to be going wrong, blame is often the first thing we will turn to. We will blame everyone else for our situation, for treating us badly, and for life being so unkind. We will believe that it is all happening to us, and we just have to sit back and suffer. And where there is blame, shame is right behind. We will shame others for what they “have done to us”. We will shame ourselves-“for being so stupid”. We will teeter-totter between blame and shame and can fall into an extremely toxic cycle that can feel never-ending and will definitely make us bitter, crazy, and completely unpleasant to be around. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1710441257965-VF6GSNRIMGN7KSXFKKXV/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING BLAME - Wanna know the cure for this? You may not like the answer, but you know what is coming… WE HAVE TO LOOK WITHIN OURSELVES AND SEE OUR PART WE HAVE TO BECOME CURIOUS AND SEE HOW WE HAVE CO-CREATED THIS EXPERIENCE WE HAVE TO BECOME WILLING TO PUT OUR PRIDE ASIDE AND GO DEEPER WE HAVE TO LOOK AT WHAT IS MOTIVATING US TO ACT LIKE WE DON’T MATTER LIKE WE AREN’T GOOD ENOUGH OR WORTHY ENOUGH We have to learn how to shift our mindset and see that when we were young, we took on a belief that wasn’t true in order to survive a situation we didn’t have any control of We have to become aware that this belief is no longer true and learn ways to create new thoughts and beliefs We have to learn tools that will help us to make different choices and create new actions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/70235f42-c2b5-46fd-a9f0-3fcae91f8e93/pexels-julia-kuzenkov-5151587.jpg Blog - RELEASING BLAME - When we choose to see our part in any experience- we are then able to step into our power. It is only from a place of empowerment that change can happen. If we want change in our lives, we have to stop blaming and shaming, both ourselves and others. We can choose instead to look at our choices, examine why we made the choice we did, and allow the healing. We can then learn to make different choices, practice speaking up for ourselves, learn how to connect with our feelings and needs and share them with others, set boundaries, and know our non-negotiables. We can begin to communicate in healthy ways that will foster healthy relationships. When we step into our power with love and compassion- we create the space for change. This is where the transformation happens. This is the gold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1710441209375-HD16RR1T3HRHB1DCHQGH/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING BLAME - Here are a few journal questions to ponder to take you to a place of self-love and compassion. Blaming or shaming ourselves will never get us to where we want to be. There is always a reason we make the choices we make. When we can step into curiosity and look through the lens of love, we can then have compassion for ourselves. Learning love and compassion for ourselves is foundational in our healing journey.

They tell us what we need. And, they are an opportunity for us to connect to our bodies and experiences so we can become aware and present in the NOW and learn to create safety for ourselves without looking externally to meet our needs. While human interaction is so necessary and important, if we don’t first know what need- what makes us feel safe or comforted or seen and heard, then we won’t be able to communicate to those we are in relationship with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1709605743991-S25DTUACUX0B1Z3Y7VZN/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING EMOTIONAL CHAOS - ANGER …needs CHANGE. Anger must also be released with intention, in a safe environment either by yourself, or with someone you trust can just hold witness to you, and new boundaries put in place for change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/44e0d542-1242-4bd6-8356-b0828359751b/image-asset.jpg Blog - RELEASING EMOTIONAL CHAOS - SADNESS …needs COMFORT. Imagine you are young again; what brought you the feeling of security, of comfort? Are those the same things that would make you feel cared for now? Does curling up with a cup of tea, a soft blanket, and a good book bring comfort? Or cooking your favorite food? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1709606178181-3VHPOWMSHIHQ2ZPVN8JM/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING EMOTIONAL CHAOS - FEAR …needs SAFETY. Often times our fears are unfounded and other times, our fears are our guts sending us a warning. Listen to your fear. What is it trying to tell you? There may be physical factors you need to create in order to feel safe. Or emotional factors, such as creating boundaries, knowing who you can turn to whom you trust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1709605791932-1OMD0DT470MJQ5XDYTYL/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING EMOTIONAL CHAOS - SHAME …needs VALIDATION. However, the validation needs to come from within ourselves and from whatever we refer to as our higher power. So often, people will look to external circumstances to make them feel better about themselves- work, addictions, relationships, busyness… and I can promise you this will never last. You will never feel enough validation from something outside of yourself to fully give you what you need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1709606245120-FHR9CCHF5RZP7GCG525K/image-asset.jpeg Blog - RELEASING EMOTIONAL CHAOS - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/780bb701-8422-48a0-9ecc-c190c99296cc/image-asset.jpg Blog - RELEASING EMOTIONAL CHAOS - When we go through loss of any kind, it is an opportunity for us to step into self-growth and transformation. And within this we can shift the perspective of our experience from being something negative to looking and seeing what positive change can come from the pain. We get the chance to become aware of how we may not be showing up for ourselves and learn how to commit to creating positive change for ourselves and in our lives. When we shift our mindset and choose to see everything that occurs in our life as something that is happening FOR us and not TO us, it helps us to see how we can grow and transform into a deeper connection with our Higher Soul Self. https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/restore-and-energize-your-soul monthly 0.5 2024-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/5668c38e-cdf8-4824-906f-962781689379/1.png Blog - RESTORE & ENERGIZE YOUR SOUL - I GENERALLY THINK OF MYSELF AS AN INTROVERT… As a Libra and a creative, however, I don't like to feel boxed into a specific category (as I don't want to feel confined).

If being with people and co-creating is your jam and energizes you into high vibrations, that's fantastic! Whether you’re Extra, Intro, or Omni, coming into such awareness requires intentional introspection (or a flat-out deep dive!) on your part.

Yet, all the while the snooze on my alarm continued to sing relentlessly on my nightstand. “Noooooooo…just 5 more minutes,” I silently pleaded to the alarm gods. “It’s all so perfect here, in my cocoon of down and pillows.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1701911525727-JT6WO5IDC77TOIPYZIEQ/image-asset.jpeg Blog - GROWING PAINS - Gratitude for the knowing in my heart that while momentarily it felt good (really good) to stay in bed, in my comfort, I also knew that getting up to engage in my morning time rituals before settling in to the routine of the day was always worth it. The connection to Spirit and to myself that I feel when I journal, meditate, read, and pray is what fills and sustains me. Therefore… I don’t miss this time for anyone or anything, because I’ve learned that it sets me up for my day and creates the necessary connection and groundedness I know that I need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/8c35942b-37b2-4429-9bd7-8f8c7bd54b68/k-mitch-hodge-3ucoO9dnlps-unsplash.jpg Blog - GROWING PAINS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1701825144769-L5MDNMTTLH5RAA15VM2S/Band+Aid+Knee+Baby.jpg Blog - GROWING PAINS https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/sacred-source monthly 0.5 2024-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1699916421946-ONAJF6JUD72AC2C15THO/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Your Sacred “Source” - RECENTLY, I CELEBRATED MY 45th BIRTHDAY. I don't usually worry about getting older, but I must admit that I'm not entirely comfortable with looking older. I'm acutely aware, however, that every day is a precious gift and each year an extraordinary blessing (due in part to loved ones that I’ve lost). Therefore, I take my birthday as an opportunity to reflect on the past year, focusing on the growth, experiences, and changes that have taken place and also on what I could have done differently (which is exactly what I did not too long ago). I was walking along my usual path on a particularly beautiful fall day when a poignant question arose within me. I asked myself what the most important lesson of my 44th year was. The answer, which was also a question, came to me immediately… WHAT AM I MAKING “SOURCE?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1699916270544-83P45I9SHH3H847BFGRX/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Your Sacred “Source” - IT STARTS WITH PERSPECTIVE. My mentors, coaches, and educational pursuits have all asked me this question many times (and in many different ways) over the past year, so much so that it has become a daily mantra for me. And as for the realizations that have followed in its wake (despite considerable self-resistance, at times)? A significant shift in perspective and a palpable and fluid transformative process. By diving deep into the exploration of what I’m making “source,” I've learned that for most of my life, I not only reflexively identified as a woman of God but, within that identity, believed I was genuinely yielding to a higher power. In reality, however, I was mostly believing in myself, other people, or my circumstances. In other words, my experience with “belief” very much hinged on the external. And so began the journey of learning to let go of this deeply ingrained and long-standing “untruth.” The result? A fundamental transformation of consciousness as a new truth took root… God, Spirit, the Divine, is my supply for EVERYTHING… both external and internal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/553b1c51-99f2-4fb3-baa2-9ce238d21e86/8E5A8245.jpg Blog - Your Sacred “Source” - GOD IS MY SOURCE. When I look to God as my Source, as my provider, my inspiration, my protector, I find my peace. I find my grounding. God doesn’t change. God is pure love and abundance- even if we may not see our experiences as such. God is constant and provides everything I need. I have undergone significant changes in the last three years and find that each new day brings forth even more. These changes (likely constant companions from here on out) urge me to continue to look inward. And so, I’m settling into this feeling of “not knowing” and accepting change as a daily part of a life that’s fluid and evolving. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1699917317239-ULJ0QDUK8MAH89CQ116Q/Source.jpg Blog - Your Sacred “Source” - MY MESSAGE FOR YOU Here’s what I’ve learned (and am learning still!)… If we can shift our thoughts and old, limiting beliefs, release a "lack" mindset, and embrace faith- not in a religious way, but in a true God/ Spirit/Universe-based connection- our inner world WILL change (thus creating change in our outer worlds as well). Change can take us out of alignment with ourselves for a time, but it will always bring us back to our truth with lessons learned (IF we allow it). We have the opportunity to learn about parts of ourselves that need to be changed, and we will see new parts of ourselves that have been forged in fire, we will grow in strength and become more authentic to our soul selves. Change can bring us closer to our purpose, to what is designed for our lives. When we can feel the fear and loss that change can bring, and let God heal those wounds, we will feel the energy, the LOVE that only Spirit can bring. We will understand that no person, circumstance, amount of money, or societal expectations can actually fill us. And so, when you begin to feel triggered, depressed, anxious, or confused, I encourage you to feel those feelings, get curious, and see what your experience is trying to show you by asking yourself THE question… WHAT AM I MAKING MY “SOURCE?” https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/calling-in-the-one monthly 0.5 2023-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1681953315586-5YVWUM5P60A97VU7Y7IR/unsplash-image-ZurI8ZukiuY.jpg Blog - CALLING IN THE ONE - There comes the point in life when you desire to fall in love and have it last and be all you ever wanted. Whether it is your first or fifth time, you know that you want a partner to do life with. To have coffee in the morning, to take walks under the moonlight, to snuggle with in front of a roaring fire, to adventure with, and to, well…just experience life with, in whatever way lights your heart up. But you have this little voice in your head that says, “But what if there’s nobody out there for me? What if I get hurt again? What if it’s just the same as all my other relationships? What if, what if, what if?” Well, what if I were to tell you it’s never too late? It doesn’t matter how old you are, how many relationships you have been in (good or bad), what you look like, or where you live. You can have the love you have been looking for all your life. I can, without a doubt, 100% guarantee this. Because all you have to do, my love, is look in the mirror. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1681953592920-AAKNANDLL5ST7QPOPHRQ/unsplash-image-ek_MIjETxJI.jpg Blog - CALLING IN THE ONE - The key to finding the romantic love of your life in another is rooted in falling in love with yourself. This is where most romances go wrong for women. Often we were not taught as young girls how precious we were, how worthy and incredible we were, just for being us and nothing more. Often we grew up in families where co-dependent behavior was the coping mechanism for survival or, in less severe cases, keeping the peace. At some point, disconnection from our true, authentic selves occurred on some level. And learning to love ourselves changed to a different agenda of learning how to be what someone else wanted in order to get connection or validation. Unfortunately, just because we grew up into women doesn’t mean we grew out of our limiting beliefs that, “Maybe I’m simply not good enough or don’t belong.” We carry these beliefs – which we may hold just below our conscious surface- into our romantic relationships. This explains why we may find ourselves in the same dysfunctional relationship repeatedly but with different people. Or maybe it is the same person, but the same old issues keep rearing their ugly head, never seeming to get any better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1681954641600-6ZCY6UJL4HDARDRQXTVG/unsplash-image-D2X2BDF7LHw.jpg Blog - CALLING IN THE ONE - There is a different way. Love was not designed to be like this. Love was meant to be a partnership where both people could share their needs, feelings, and desires. To feel heard and be seen. Love was meant to be in a connection where it is safe to be vulnerable and share the innermost parts of ourselves, our hopes, and our dreams. Here’s the catch, though…all of this bliss and beauty begins with us. What does our relationship with ourselves look like? How much do we really love ourselves? How connected are we with our own feelings, needs, and desires? How much do we pay attention to what our body and heart tell us? How much of a priority do we make our hopes and dreams? To the extent we love ourselves is the extent we have to give and receive love. In other words… It all begins with us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1681954080916-CFGZNJPP84MHTK2T32DH/unsplash-image-xnynBH_ux_I.jpg Blog - CALLING IN THE ONE - Calling in the One is a 7-Step process set up around three basic premises developed by the author Katherine Woodward Thomas. She guides us through the concept that this is all about calling in yourself. In other words, you have to become One before you can manifest THE One. She states: “Life is an ever-emerging creative process. Our thoughts, beliefs, assumptions, choices, actions, and words are the tools we use to invent our experiences and circumstances.” “We can create circumstances and opportunities in our lives by setting clear intentions and by committing to and living in alignment with these intentions.” “When we alter our relationships with ourselves, the externals of our lives will organically alter accordingly.” This is so much more than simply calling in your soul mate. Calling in the One can be used to manifest in your career, your finances, or anything else you are looking to bring into your life but are having difficulty with. Once you develop a more profound, loving relationship with yourself, you can call in your heart’s desire. While you may not have your dream at the end of the 7-weeks, you WILL be changed- and THAT is the guarantee. https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/snow-in-april monthly 0.5 2023-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1681749893632-3XTO235JGMU3STO2NLUG/unsplash-image-3g7H7aB0qMQ.jpg Blog - SNOW IN APRIL - I woke up to snow this morning. I knew it was coming, but it didn’t change the confusion I felt, as it had been almost 80 degrees and sunny every day last week. Saturday, my kids were playing with water guns outside, and I was sitting on our patio reading with the sun in my face and the wind in my hair. Today (Monday), I wore a hat, gloves, and snow boots while walking my dogs on the snowy golf course. “Why is there snow on the ground now, Mom?” my daughter asked when she woke up. My answer to her was, “Mother Nature must have gotten confused, my love, but she’ll make it right; by this afternoon, it will all be melted.” And sure enough, as I write this, I can see the snow melting outside my kitchen window. The grass is showing its greenness again, and the sun is peeking through the clouds to warm up all the budding flowers and trees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1681750682497-73DR9I9Y6N9XYQZ14T8O/unsplash-image-rWlI4iGcSAo.jpg Blog - SNOW IN APRIL - They say Spring in the Midwest gifts you everything from sun and warmth to rain, dampness, snow, and cold. I find that I can relate to Mother Nature’s confusion and the various roller coaster of changes in the weather. My confusion and my emotions mirror what is happening outside, or maybe the outside conditions are a mirror of me. But upon further consideration, perhaps Mother Nature isn’t so confused after all; maybe She sees me in all my ups and downs, sadness, understanding, confusion, calmness, and fear. As I have been on this journey of becoming - this awakening, rediscovering, and reclaiming parts of myself that I abandoned, avoided, or hadn’t developed yet - my days have mostly been filled with ups and downs of emotions while navigating real life…starting a business, getting coaching certifications, being a mom, being a wife, keeping a home, doing this growth work. I’m reminded that this journey, one that’s both necessary and far from over, has yielded the most challenging two years of my life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/bbd895f3-188e-4511-8451-f217bb525137/375A0298.jpg Blog - SNOW IN APRIL - I am sifting through, releasing what needs to be released, reclaiming my knowing and my heart, feeling my confidence, purpose, and groundedness creep back in, and I remember that this “work” is working. And so I realize…the weather is perfect. The sun and warmth, the snow and cold, can coexist in beautiful synchronicity. Complex, yes; easy to understand, no. But nonetheless, the trees are still budding under a blanket of gray clouds as the sun slowly begins to show its face, and I know... it’s all working precisely as it was designed to do, and that brings me peace. https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/the-sacred-awakening monthly 0.5 2023-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1681755520263-7D0N0YGVE0JMPQ7773GA/unsplash-image-hGqTGQWHeNw.jpg Blog - THE SACRED AWAKENING - The Sacred Awakening of a woman’s soul begins in her heart. It starts as a faint whisper, a twinge that something more exists. But it is so soft, so faint, that, without entering into a sacred stillness, we can miss it altogether. We can ignore it and tell ourselves it was nothing, even question if that brief moment actually happened as we perceived it. This is so easy to do when our lives are filled with the busyness of being a mom, a partner, a business owner, or an employee. Then add on the constant distractions of electronics, commitments, and the expectations of society that going quiet and journeying within can seem a luxury that we just don’t have time for. But this, THIS is where a crossroads appears…that “choice point” in our lives. A decision that can change EVERYTHING. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/7a6db5db-8cf3-4863-91fc-fce8dffd0123/unsplash-image-Dg-T1LF-CwE.jpg Blog - THE SACRED AWAKENING - AND So…here YOU are at the Divine crossroad. Which way will you choose? Will you choose to stay safe, comfortable, and small? Or will you choose to walk into the unknown… risking being seen as your true Divine self in all your feminine magnificence… truly living in your purpose? https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/sacred-sequence-inner-peace monthly 0.5 2023-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/55744b14-4241-4844-b3c6-2ff1bc7fdcba/pexels-rachel-claire-4577664.jpg Blog - A SACRED PEACE - It is now the middle of April, and I don't know where the time has gone. I am so grateful for the beautiful weather Spirit has blessed us with. As I write, I am sitting outside on my beautiful patio with a bright blue sky, the sun's warmth on my face, the song of several birds, and a soft breeze blowing through my hair- it is all so pleasurable and abundant. This month has not all been like this afternoon, however. My anxiety has crept in most days, and I can see how it has been an opportunity to look at my days and priorities. Hence, Sacred Freedom’s topic this month- INNER PRESENCE OF PEACE. As a result, I have come to the belief that peace within us just doesn't “happen.” That being said, it absolutely comes when we make the conscious choice to receive it, but until we stop, breathe, focus on becoming conscious, connect with our body, connect with whatever we believe in, and become still (inside AND out), peace is likely to remain a fantasy we keep chasing and never feel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1681753867502-7XVL4Z9CDOU9AG2YFXHL/unsplash-image-milf0R11KoE.jpg Blog - A SACRED PEACE - I received this topic on April 1, and I don't believe it to be a coincidence that I have just now (April 12th) sat down to write about it. In the 12 days since I received the idea, I have had to learn the concept- AGAIN. I had to live the vision, practice the vision, and remember the vision- AGAIN. Seriously. The Universe gave me this month's energy topic and then made sure that I would have an intense reeducation on how to receive it-AGAIN. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1681753112492-Z1H5AW69E4T570I86DS8/unsplash-image-CfUyeAZOWIw.jpg Blog - A SACRED PEACE - So, I have been practicing peace these past few weeks. Consciously. I have been experimenting with different tools that connect me to the peace within me. For example, I have practiced noticing when my body feels at peace and where I am feeling it, which meditations feel peaceful to my soul and which don't feel aligned for me at that time, etc., which leads to what I want to share with you… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1681754675769-PSSX8SNOYPFZDXWQKK3Z/unsplash-image-nGo-UVGKAxI.jpg Blog - A SACRED PEACE - MY SACRED SEQUENCE to AWAKEN INNER PEACE 1. By taking a deep breath and becoming still, I become aware and conscious. 2. By tapping into the feelings my body experiences, I become aware of physical sensations within me. 3. By first noticing my surroundings and naming what I see (for instance, a beautiful tree, a teacup, a candle) and then experiencing those surroundings with all my senses, I become calm and regulated. Only then can I connect to the Spirit within - which brings me TRUE and TRANSFORMATIVE peace - experienced in my sacral area and my solar plexus area )or just below my belly button and before my heart). And as I do, I affirm what the Divine calm tells me, such as, "I am safe" or "I am loved” and remain in this place...my place of sacred peace for several moments. https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/not-a-crisis monthly 0.5 2023-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1654577282346-7QQT1E406F96Q858VSSV/unsplash-image-kEXMAGTivXA.jpg Blog - Not a “Crisis” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/ea8a862a-fecb-4d97-ba0d-cb218f418d98/unsplash-image-ppWX6_Z1-Qo.jpg Blog - Not a “Crisis” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/b981021b-41ba-4358-82e6-4248b5055db2/unsplash-image-lbWidOLs8xc.jpg Blog - Not a “Crisis” - Make it stand out Not quite sure where to start? https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/tag/Design monthly 0.5 https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/tag/Relationships monthly 0.5 https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/tag/Mid-Life+Awakenings monthly 0.5 https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/tag/Favorite+Things monthly 0.5 https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/tag/Vlog monthly 0.5 https://sacredfreedom.life/blog/tag/Podcast monthly 0.5 https://sacredfreedom.life/landing daily 0.75 2026-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6224bc9d835273150084fc82/1728354444301-YVEYRCZ9DASTBBAK8H1C/pexels-marco-carlotti-16364796-6727665.jpg Landing Through working with Elizabeth, I discovered not only what I wanted my life to look like but also the path and action steps that were necessary in order to actually get there!
