Have you ever had one of those moments where you realizeâmid-sentence, mid-meltdown, mid-clean-sheets-getting-peed-onâthat youâre aware of whatâs happening and still doing it anyway?
Â
Yeah. Me too. đ«
Â
Whether itâs a childhood trauma, a creative block, or just being bone-tired and snapping at your kid, the chaos doesnât stop. But how we choose to show up in it? Thatâs where the transformation begins.
Â
This weekâs episode was like a spiritual enema for your excusesâflushing out the bullshit so you can rise like the phoenix you are (minus the ashes, unless youâre into that). Hereâs the tea, served with a side of zero fucks:
â Stop arguing with technology and start owning your spotlight.
â Turn âthis happened to meâ into âthis happened FOR meâ like a metaphysical DJ remixing your pain into power.
â Your âboundariesâ might just be fancy prisons. Protecting your growth â protecting your excuses.
â Feeling your feelings isnât enough. Do something with them.
Whether youâre negotiating with your toddler, your trauma, or your laundry pileâwe see you. Owning your life doesnât mean pretending itâs perfect. It means choosing how you meet it.
đ Life doesnât hand out participation trophiesâbut it does leave breadcrumbs of wisdom in the chaos.Â
Think of these takeaways as your cheat sheet for radical ownershipâbecause transformation doesnât happen in the safe, pretty corners of your comfort zone. It happens when youâre knee-deep in the "Oh shit" moments, laughing through the pee-soaked sheets, and still choosing to show up as the hero of your story:
Awareness Isnât Enough
You can be fully aware of your patternsâyour triggers, your wounds, your cyclesâand still be living in them. Awareness is a beginning, not an ending. Itâs tempting to stop there, to call it âgrowth,â but the truth is: knowing without action is just more spiritual bypassing. The real work begins when we ask, Now that I know this, what am I going to do about it?Â
You Canât Bypass the Shadow.
Yes, you're light. Yes, you're love. But you also have rage, grief, fear, and wounds that shape the way you see and survive the world. Pretending the dark parts of you donât exist doesnât make you more enlightenedâit makes you more exhausted. Owning your whole self, shadow and all, is the only way to access your full power.
Victimhood Can Feel Like Safety.
It gives you something to hold onto when everything feels out of control. The story, the blame, the familiar scriptâit can feel like a warm blanket. But comfort isnât the same as freedom. Staying in victimhood might feel protective, but it also keeps you stuck, bitter, and small. Ownership is riskier. But itâs the only way out of the loop.Â
Energy Comes After Action
Waiting for motivation, clarity, or energy before you begin is a lie that keeps you stagnant. In reality, the moment you startâtake the step, ask for help, move your body, have the uncomfortable conversationâthatâs when energy rushes in. Not before. Start tired, confused, messy⊠and notice how the fuel shows up once you commit.
Your turn: SO - what's the thing? What are you gunna do this week to move through some stagnant energy? Now's the time, the time is now. đ¶
