I burned it all down.
Every last piece of my former business… gone.
I cut ties with my website, email list, offerings, brand.
I hit the sledgehammer to everything I thought I knew, everything that had made me successful so far.
I lit fire to all my blog posts, scorched up my Facebook group.
Basically…
Everything you’re not supposed to do when you’re a professional growing their business.
When it was done, everything was a mess.
People think that starting afresh means you’re beginning with a blank slate, but it’s really never like that.
You still have the ashes and dust from what came before.
The pain and heartbreak and deep surrender to the moment still exists.
Through the flames comes…
Transition. Alchemy of all that doesn’t work and doesn’t feel good, mixed with what feels pretty good and works pretty well…
Into what IGNITES YOUR SOUL.
Transition into your true calling, the work you’re meant to do in the world.
Through burning it all down, we can be reborn.
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, we begin again.
Not with thunder and clashing spirit. But one step at a time.
The true moment of transition and transformation comes not when all is rebuilt, when the walls are up and the success is sought once more…

Rather it is in the vulnerability and naked in-between, once you’ve torn out your heart and shed your shackles.
When you’re surrounded by heat and light and your flesh and fears have burnt alongside your Soul.
And you’re left with those bits and pieces. Those small reminders of what belongs to you and is you and moves through you.
Your deep worthiness and utter despair.
Your profound belonging and cosmic separation.
I burned it all down.
And slowly… minute by minute… I rose again.
More me. More you. More us.
Will you walk this path of Revolution with me?
Will you allow yourself to Receive the gift of Fire?
I can feel it in your heart beat, in the calling your soul sets forth.
Your yearning for more. For depth. For light. For darkness.
It’s in the small moments, the small in-between breaths and steps.
That you discover who you are.
