Are You Actually Letting Yourself Receive?
There was a moment in my conversation with my dear friend Veronica Krestow when I literally stopped. She was telling me about something one of her mentors, a wise woman in her seventies, once said to her:
"A woman is built to receive."
Veronica said her whole body shuddered. And holy smokes, mine did too.
I had never thought of this before. How many of us learned the exact opposite? Give more. Work harder. Take care of everyone. Don't ask for too much.
And if someone tells you they love your shirt, immediately tell them you got it on sale. 😂 (I used to do this ALL. THE. TIME.)
But what if receiving isn't something you need to earn?
What if it's something you're actually designed for?
That opened up one of the juiciest conversations about receiving, nervous system safety, self-doubt, sacred rage, manifestation, and what it actually means to create a life you have space to enjoy.
Veronica also shared that after a health wake-up call, she took 75% of the work off her plate.
And for the first two years?
She made the same amount of money.
She traded sitting for swimming. Screen time for sunshine. Scrolling for strolling.
LOVE that. 😍
And underneath all of it was a reminder I haven't stopped thinking about:
Your frequency is your number one job.
Not your to-do list. Not proving yourself. Not getting it all right.
Your frequency.
So maybe the question isn't only, What do I want?
Maybe it's...
Am I actually letting myself receive it?
I think you're going to LOVE this one. Veronica and I also get into our wild sides a little bit (yes, there are F-bombs 😂), why self-doubt may actually be a green light, and a beautiful practice for coming back to yourself when life feels like too much.
Oh, and there may or may not be a conversation about sacred rage, a "Zen F-you," and hundreds of sheep wandering through Portugal. 🐏 😁
