#45 Nobody Is Coming To Fix You – And That Is Actually The Best News

Nobody is coming to fix you - women's empowerment and consciousness guidance
OK… in my usual style, I’m going to say something that might sting a little bit… and that is: Nobody is coming to fix you.

You can try anything you like:

The healer with amazing five star reviews.
The psychic who does fantastic readings.
The most spiritually advanced and gifted practitioner you can find.
Even retreats in Bali, cups of cacao or plant medicine ceremonies.

Nobody – and none of this stuff – is going to fix you.

Now I know that might have landed like a tonne of bricks – especially if you’re in any kind of pain or torment right now or if you’ve been doing this kind of thing for a long time already – but stay with me here, because the second half of that statement literally IS going to be the best news – particularly after I’ve just torn down everything you were pinning your hopes on! Ooops… sorry not sorry.

Now when you think about following a spiritual path, you often think it looks like this:
Something happened to you – recently, a long time ago, maybe even in another lifetime – and it’s left a mark on you. Some block, some limitation, some bl**dy contract or vow that’s apparently holding you back from your ‘highest potential’.

And now you’re searching for the person or the process or the experience that will finally undo it. That will reach in and pull the thing out and hand you back to yourself, whole and complete – the highest and best version of yourself. Sounds good right?!

I understand this completely because I was there myself once!

But here’s what I’ve watched happen to women who stay in that story for too long:

They get really dependent on being helped – and believe me the role of the victim or of being stuck is very attractive to your unconscious mind – even when your conscious mind would never in a million years want to put its hand up to play that part.

The problem is, that every time you hand your power over to someone outside of you, you are reinforcing one belief above all others… and that is that you don’t have what it takes to do this yourself.

Over time, this becomes the biggest block of all – but it’s so unconscious that you can’t see it.

You want someone to tell you what to do, make the pain stop, or better yet, just fix you and do it all for you.

I’ve worked with women who have spent years “trying to get fixed” or “find what it is that they’re looking for”.

They know all the language and the concepts we talk about. And yet they still reach for an outside answer before they’ve paused to check what’s happening inside. Worse yet, they reach for a distraction to avoid feeling it altogether.

You Tube videos, podcasts, books or meditation apps will never heal you and often, these are the very things that are actually keeping you from healing – taking you around in circles instead of moving forwards.

Unfortunately, this is the inevitable result of being taught, over and over again, that someone else holds the key to your actual healing.

So I’ll tell you straight up:

What you’re looking for isn’t purely available inside someone else’s process, course or retreat. It’s waiting for you to turn around and face it.

I know that’s uncomfortable… facing your truth is one of the hardest things most of us will ever do and it makes you feel like sh*t quite honestly.

I know, because I’ve been there.

But from doing this type of work with women for a really long time now, I will also say that it is the only thing that actually works and that holds long term.

And that’s the good news… because it means that the thing you’ve been searching for outside of yourself has been accessible to you the whole time – you just didn’t know it. And now you do.

But this doesn’t mean you should never work with anyone again.

Healing support is valuable – especially if it comes from someone who has actually walked the path before you and has lived, embodied experience of that path.

I offer this work because I’ve been there!

But the difference is that you come into this work as a woman who is actively ready to do the work of understanding themselves. Then, you use the support I offer to go deeper, faster, and with more clarity than you could if you’d done it alone.

That’s a very different position to be in…
In one, you’re dependent – sometimes co-dependent upon the healer.
In the other, you’re empowered.

Empowered women don’t stay stuck – because they’ve stopped waiting for someone else to do it for them and they’ve started choosing for themselves instead.

That decision is available to you right now.

So if you’re ready to stop waiting and start actually moving — that’s the work I do with women. And honestly, it’s the most important work that I could be doing. It’s why I’m here – come and check it out here. 

Let’s keep in touch!
