I really appreciate how raw and human this is. Thank you for writing it! You don’t shy away from the messiness of ego and fear and it’s refreshing. The part about holding fear instead of letting it run the show is a simple concept but not an easy practice. Also I like how you don’t try to tidy it all up with a neat little bow. Feels honest, like you’re inviting us to wrestle with these questions instead of giving answers 😺

Omg thank you so much! 🙏🏾 This one really erupted out of me, and I remember feeling so much fear about posting it because it felt messy and rambling to me. I so appreciate you affirming that the rawness resonated with you. Grateful for the care with which you read and respond 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

“We’re meant to have what we need collectively through relationships.”

I needed this in this moment. I’ve been going through the motions lately and have been isolating in a way because of it. This just activated the hope in my heart and inspiration in my body to nurture my relationships and to create new ones in my new physical location💛

Jemiya my love! You’ve been on my heart! I definitely know how it feels to go through the motions and isolate - have been there more times than I can count. I know and affirm that your new location is full of beautiful new relationships that are aligned and reciprocal for you, ready to meet you all in divine timing. Thank you for reading, and for reflecting back to me where and how my words have met you. 🙏🏾💓

“What feels real to me is this: all of us came here to be exactly who we are, to experience exactly what we’re here to experience, and to express exactly what we’re here to express.”

Phew.

I’m on my way home after a long day’s PA gig and I got the notification email for this post and now I’m crying on the subway. I have been feeling so much ego-clanging bouncing around my skull lately, and this was just…exactly what I needed to read, today and right now.

I am so grateful for you continuing to share your brilliance, your artistry, your vulnerability, your wisdom, your learning, your whole awe-inspiring self. It’s somehow always the exact message I need in the moment. Every post, I feel myself softening into myself - with compassion, with permission, with ease and breath. Thank you, to infinity.

Ahh it means the world to me to know that this met you where and when you needed it! 💗That ego clanging, whew, it really does feel so present right now. I’m with you. The lie of hierarchy and comparison is so baked into the spaces we navigate as artists. You’re someone who really exemplifies for me what it looks like to write precisely what you and only you are here to write. I know for sure that I wouldn’t feel safe to take the risks I’m taking if I didn’t know you. Thank you for being who you’re here to be and expressing what you’re here to express! I feel so lucky to love and learn from you!
