Why This Work Matters.

It is our power.
And it is at once the most terrifying and the most fulfilling thing we will ever face.

Everything is power. Power is the breath of life that animates you. It is the river of your menstrual blood that weaves a human into being. It is the pulse of creation that births and destroys worlds. And it is the fiery impulse of the soul that ignites an entire revolution in love.

There is a unique thread of power, of life, of love, that belongs to you and only you. It is your life force that you are the one and only sacred guardian and birthing vessel for. This power will test you, challenge you, and call you into your greatest fears to refine you and bestow you with the resilience of one who is humble and strong enough to carry this sacred torch of truth.

Our relationship with our power determines whether we are victims of our own power, exploiting our power, disempowered by others, or harnessing and embracing our power and becoming heroines in our lives and in the world. It begins from within. By embracing all things within ourselves we summon the very power that might otherwise control us externally, reclaiming our right to love, create, and lead from self sovereignty rather than victimhood or dictatorship.

Many women fear their power. We have been conditioned to be this way. That is historical fact tracing back to the dawn of patriarchy, the desecration of the Priestess temples, the repression of the Goddess religions, the harm done to our Earth, the witch trials and burnings, and the subtle yet insidious ways that the feminine continues to be demonized and diminished. Rather than blame what has been done, we can grieve the loss, heal our wounds, and restore the imbalance by remembering what our Priestess ancestors have always known: a woman is everything, and that is our power.

Whether our fear of power emerges through repressing our voices and creative expression, a painful need for external approval and success, numbness and repression of our feelings, overwhelm and reacting explosively, aversion to intimacy, addiction to relationships, or frankly anything that dishonors the truth of the soul, this very wound and very fear can lead us home.

The medicine comes when we decide to become the midwives of our own souls by welcoming every single part of ourselves that we ever shamed, gave away, made another responsible for, dissociated from, felt guilty for, feared, judged, or repressed, back to love.

When we radically choose to receive ourselves, all facets of ourselves, we reclaim our inherent power and alchemize what we once feared into our greatest gifts. We no longer desire to hide away or project out our own shadows because we realize that they contain the fragments of our gold. We recollect each and every source of pain and fear as our precious gems necessary to recreate the radiant Queendoms that are our birthright.

This is how we change the pattern.
This is how we bring forth a New World.
This is the way of the Whole Woman.

It is a lifelong journey of beauty, challenge, heartbreak, and rapturous remembrance, and we do not have to do it alone.
