How to Know When To Say NO!

Half the battle of understanding your f*ck yeah energy- is understanding how to honor your sacred NO

When we know something on a soul level is a no, that is another, less talked about way, of following our f*ck yeah

This doesn’t mean that it’s easy to say YES to taking action away from that thing

Because our soul is a tricky thing, as it is connected to the heart; And, often times, we perceive the heart as soft, kind, and loving…which it is; but, the heart is also fierce, relentless & brutal

And it’s not so normalized to talk about the dark side of the heart 🖤

And I don’t mean dark as in bad- darkness isn’t inherently bad…it just “is”…just like how night time isn’t “bad” or the side of the moon that is covered in shadow isn’t “bad”…it’s just… dark

But a lot of times when we know something is fundamentally a “no” for us, but we’re not ready to let it go, we experience the dark heart- the notorious “ache” 🥀

The intensity of this pain can become unbearable, 1. Because it is f*cking hard 2. Because we have not learned how to navigate the dark heart

The sorrow, the despair, the emptiness

These emotions are not wrong or bad- they’re just unfamiliar because we often times avoid the f*ck out of them

They are part of the process of mourning something that we planned on, that we likely became attached to, and therefore found safety in that thing (a promotion, a person/relationship, a plan of some sort)

The discord of reality, and what could have been, is when the dark heart reveals itself

When when the dark heart raises her voice, she is communicating redirection from the soul

When the soul is asking you to redirect your efforts, attention, and focus, it often uses the dark heart to do its bidding

The brutality of this causes us to feel physically unsafe in our bodies, pits in our stomachs, contraction in our chest

Yet nevertheless- it is communication from
Soul- part of some bigger plan to take you where you are meant to go- even if you can’t see it- even if you’re blinded with sorrow- it IS part of the plan

Destruction precedes creation
You must first die in order to be reborn 🦅

The void of the dark heart teaches us the elements of trust, surrender, & humility

The dark heart is an inevitable part of life, one that often times shows us what we’re made of, where we eventually emerge out of our chrysalis as a butterfly with new wings

Learning to navigate the darkness is an essential part to stepping into our power- as both leaders and as entrepreneurs

This is why I have created Riding The Emotional Roller Coaster of Life + (& Entrepreneurship)

This course is for anyone with a heart (Aka all y’all) and anyone with dreams and goals (I hope to God that’s all y’all)
