Boundary Setting Goddess & Personal Empowerment Guide for Spiritual Women
My last blog post was about how I intended to focus more on shifting paradigms than on sharing the tools that have helped me through difficult times in my life. I want to expand on this a bit more, because I don’t mean to imply that I’m going to stop sharing what’s worked for me. Quite the contrary!
Rather, my intent is to not ignore the context that lurks behind the tools I’m sharing.
Have you ever wondered what you were put on this earth to do? I often do.
I’ve invested a lot in myself over the years but most significantly during this past year in an effort to understand just what my dharma (purpose) is and how I’m meant to share it. And, what has been revealed to me through various channels VERY recently is that I’m here to shift paradigms.
This post piggybacks off my latest podcast episode: Self-Care Practices I Use When Engaging with Master Manipulators. If you haven’t watched or listened to it yet, I invite you to do so. It’s a short 21 minutes🧘🏻♀️. In the podcast, I walk you through some simple self-care practices that I employ that have made a tangible difference in my sanity and energy levels post-engagement with a master manipulator.
My intention with this site has always been to share my struggles and how I’ve worked through them so that others who are struggling may see themselves in my experiences and borrow from what’s helped me. My target audience is my global sisterhood – it’s not those who have created hardships for me to overcome. And yet, I’ve censored my posts to protect their identities from themselves.
*Cue terrible ringtone circa 2006(ish).* My heart started racing and massive anxiety set in. I did NOT want to take this call…
The requisite small talk – I disdain small talk – took place. And then, mic drop #1: “You can’t stay with me anymore when you’re in town.” As predicted, the raging, gaslighting, and belittling ensued.
I don’t like it when my boundaries are challenged. Being spiritually grounded is pretty easy for me when nothing rocks my boat. But when someone does something that I feel isn’t right, it’s a helluva lot harder.
This happened yesterday. It was a relatively minor slight and involved a few dollars, but it left me feeling self-righteous and violated.
