Tarot Tuesday is here — and your soul is speaking.

The question is: will you listen?

Every Tuesday, we pause.
We soften.
We lean into a deeper part of ourselves - the part that already knows.

The part that’s been guiding you quietly
beneath all the noise, doubt, and “shoulds.”

🃏 Today’s invitation:
Choose a deck. Trust your pull. Receive your message.

🌙 Decks to choose from:

1. Dark Wood Tarot by Sasha Graham

2. Forest of Enchantment Tarot by Lunaea Wearherstone

💫 Drop the number or name of the deck you choose in the comments.

Then be open. The card I pull won’t just be a message - it’ll be a mirror.

Your truth is waiting.

🌸 CHOOSE LOVE. GROW TOGETHER. BE A QUEEN. 👑

This message isn’t random.
These cards didn’t show up by accident.
This is your sacred nudge.

✨ Choose Love
Not the easy kind. The kind that asks you to meet your own wounds with compassion.
To soften where you’ve grown hard.
To lead your healing with kindness, not punishment.

✨ Grow Together
You are not here to shrink in silence.
Let your emotions speak.
Let your truth breathe.
The right people won’t run from your depth - they’ll *rise with it.*

✨ A Queen Be
A Queen doesn’t chase approval.
She moves with integrity, discipline, and divine purpose.
She honors her truth over anyone’s expectations - and that is her power.

💗 This isn’t about becoming someone else.
It’s about remembering who you were before burnout dimmed your light.
Before doubt made you question your magic.
Before you forgot that *you are the miracle you’ve been waiting for.

So today -
Speak softer to yourself.
Stand taller in your truth.
Say yes to what fuels you.
Say no to what drains you.
And above all else - choose you.

You’re not just healing.
You’re rising.
You’re remembering.
You’re returning to your throne. 👑

We spend so much of our lives striving to “fix” ourselves. To do more. Be more. Prove our worth.

But what if the answer isn’t in becoming…
It’s in remembering.

Remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.
Before the burnout. Before the people-pleasing.
Before you started dimming your light to fit into roles that were never truly yours.

You are not broken. You don’t need to be rebuilt.
You need space to come home to yourself — gently, intentionally, and without pressure.

💛 My free guide, Reconnect to Your True Self: 5 Simple Shifts to Break Free from Burnout, was created to help you do just that.
Small, powerful shifts that guide you back to your truth — no hustle, no overwhelm.

How much of your life has been spent trying to be who others expect you to be?

The “good” friend. The “reliable” one. The “easygoing” one. The one who never makes waves. The one who keeps the peace—even at the cost of your own truth.

But here’s the thing: You were never meant to be a puppet for other people’s expectations.

You were meant to be fully expressed, fully seen, fully YOU. And yes, that means:
✨ Not everyone will like you.
✨ Not everyone will agree with you.
✨ Not everyone will understand you.

But the people who truly matter? They will love you for exactly who you are.

So release the need to be what others want. You are not here to perform - you are here to be free.

22/03/2025

How much of your life have you spent waiting for permission?
👉 Permission to speak your truth without fear of judgment.
👉 Permission to follow your own path, even if others don’t understand.
👉 Permission to just be you - without constantly wondering if you’re “too much” or “not enough.”

But here’s the thing: Approval is a prison. And the moment you stop seeking it, you become free.

You don’t need validation to be worthy. You don’t need permission to take up space. You don’t need everyone to agree with you, understand you, or like you.

Because the real question isn’t, “Do they accept me?”
It’s “Do I accept myself?”

The day you stop chasing approval is the day you reclaim your power. And that? That’s when life truly begins.

22/03/2025

Have you ever had someone make you feel like you were “too much”? Too loud. Too opinionated. Too sensitive. Too ambitious.

Here’s the truth: You were never too much - they were just never enough to hold all that you are.

Real love, real friendships, real connections will never require you to shrink, silence, or censor yourself. The right people will celebrate your authenticity, not ask you to tone it down.

So instead of molding yourself to fit spaces that don’t honor you, ask yourself:
✨ Who makes me feel free to be myself?
✨ Who encourages my growth instead of resisting it?
✨ Who stays, not because I make their life easier, but because they truly value me?

The right people will never ask you to be less. And the wrong people? They were never yours to begin with.

21/03/2025

Have you ever felt like you had to shrink yourself to fit in? Like you had to water yourself down - be less opinionated, less bold, less you - just to be accepted?

That’s conditioning. That’s years of being told that being “too much” will push people away. That if you want to be loved, you need to be easier to handle.

But let me tell you something radical: You were never meant to be small.

The world doesn’t need a muted version of you. It needs your fire, your voice, your truth.

So here’s your permission slip to take up space:
🔥 Speak your mind, even if it makes people uncomfortable.
🔥 Set boundaries, even if it disappoints someone.
🔥 Be fully expressed, even if not everyone understands.

Because the ones who truly matter? They will never ask you to be anything less than your fullest self.

Guilt is sneaky. It shows up the moment you start prioritizing yourself. It whispers, “You’re being selfish.” “You’re letting people down.” “You should be doing more.”

But here’s what no one told you: That guilt isn’t a sign that you’re doing something wrong - it’s a sign that you’re doing something different.

For years, you’ve been conditioned to believe that your worth is tied to how much you give, how much you sacrifice, how well you accommodate everyone else. So of course, when you start setting boundaries, saying no, and choosing yourself, your nervous system panics.

It feels uncomfortable. It triggers that old programming. But discomfort doesn’t mean you’re on the wrong path. It means you’re growing.

So when guilt creeps in, remind yourself:
✨ I am allowed to take care of myself.
✨ I do not exist to meet everyone’s expectations.
✨ Choosing me is not selfish - it’s necessary.

Keep going. The more you choose yourself, the quieter the guilt becomes. And eventually? It disappears.

20/03/2025

You have spent too much time waiting for permission to take up space. No more.

Your thoughts, your needs, your emotions—they are valid. You don’t need to justify them. You don’t need to explain them away. You just need to honor them.

Because the more you choose yourself, the more the right people will choose you, too.

19/03/2025

People-pleasing might have once been a survival strategy, but now? It’s keeping you from living your own life.

You are not here to be liked by everyone. You are here to be fully expressed. The moment you stop seeking approval, you start discovering your own truth.

So today, choose YOU. Even if it’s uncomfortable. Even if it means some people won’t understand. Your freedom starts where people-pleasing ends.

18/03/2025

If you’ve been taught to believe that saying ‘no’ is unkind, that prioritizing your needs is selfish, or that standing in your truth makes you “difficult”... it’s time to unlearn that.

Boundaries are not about pushing people away—they’re about honoring yourself. Saying ‘no’ doesn’t mean you don’t care. It means you care about yourself, too.

Start choosing yourself without guilt. Speak your truth without apology. You are not too much - you are exactly enough.

18/03/2025

How many times have you felt the pressure to be what someone else needed you to be? The ‘nice’ one, the ‘easygoing’ one, the ‘low-maintenance’ one?

Every time you contort yourself to meet someone else’s expectations, you step further away from your own truth.

But here’s the thing: You are allowed to take up space. You are allowed to want more. You are allowed to be seen in your fullest, rawest form.

So if you’ve been waiting for permission to stop playing small - this is it. Stand tall. Speak louder. Unfold into the person you were always meant to be.

17/03/2025

If your existence makes someone uncomfortable, that is not your problem to fix.

Too many of us have spent years molding ourselves to fit into spaces that were never meant for us - quieting our voices, dimming our light, holding back parts of who we are just to avoid conflict or rejection.

But here’s a reframe: Discomfort is often a sign of growth. If someone struggles with your confidence, your boundaries, or your self-expression, that says everything about them and nothing about you.

The world doesn’t need you to be more palatable. It needs you to be fully, boldly, unapologetically YOU.

The Soul Awakening Episode 3: Stop Apologizing for Who You Are

For too long, you’ve been conditioned to believe that being too much is a problem. That in order to be accepted, you must soften your edges, quiet your voice, and shrink yourself into something more palatable.

But what if the real problem isn’t who you are - but the fact that you’ve been apologizing for it?

In this episode of The Soul Awakening, we’re dismantling the deep-rooted patterns of people-pleasing and external validation so you can reclaim your truth and stand in your power. You’ll learn:

💡 Why people-pleasing is a survival response – and how your brain was wired to seek approval at the cost of your authenticity.
🔥 The subconscious fear of disappointing others – and why breaking this pattern feels so uncomfortable (but necessary).
💫 A guided activation to release guilt and step into your truth – so you stop filtering yourself and start living unapologetically.
🚀 Daily rewiring practices to help you embody your most authentic, unfiltered self - without fear, guilt, or hesitation.

By the end of this episode, you won’t just understand why you’ve been stuck in this cycle - you’ll feel a shift that sets you free.

16/03/2025

Somewhere along the way, you were taught that being your full, unfiltered self was “too much.” That your boldness needed to be softened. That your emotions needed to be managed. That your truth had to be edited for acceptance.

But here’s the truth: You were never meant to be a watered-down version of yourself.

Your power lies in your authenticity. In showing up raw, real, and unapologetically YOU. The more you shrink yourself to make others comfortable, the further you drift from your own purpose.

So today, I want you to ask yourself:
👉 Where am I still apologizing for being me?
👉 Where am I making myself small to keep the peace?
👉 Where am I afraid to be fully seen?

Your truth is not a burden - it’s a gift. And the people who are meant for you will never ask you to be less. Own who you are, fully and completely.

16/03/2025

Readiness is an illusion. There will never be a perfect moment where fear is absent, where doubt is silenced, where you feel fully prepared.

But what if you stopped waiting for ‘ready’ and started choosing now? Because the life you want isn’t waiting for you to feel ready. It’s waiting for you to decide.

15/03/2025

You can’t outthink fear. You can’t logic your way into confidence. The only way fear loses its grip is when you prove to yourself that you can do the thing you’re afraid of.

The more you act despite fear, the smaller it gets. So don’t wait until the fear disappears - start moving, and watch it dissolve in your wake.
