My deepest wounds: not feeling good enough & the fear of not being accepted



I used to care too much about what other people thought of me. One of my biggest fears was not being accepted. This came from an experience when I was 5 years old, and took me over 20 years to finally address it and heal it.


This fear kept me playing small. I wasn't living up to my fullest potential, even though I had goals and ambitions. It was easier to stay in my "comfort zone", blending in with the crowd, not wanting to "be too much" or "offend other people" until I realized the comfort zone is actually uncomfortable AF.


My body was communicating with me and I couldn’t ignore it anymore. I was a chronic people pleaser, and by living my life in the way I thought other’s wanted me to for so long, I was completely burnt out. I couldn’t pretend to be happy anymore. But I was terrified because I didn’t actually know WHO I WAS or what I wanted.





It was depressing. I didn’t know what the point of life was. I questioned everything. I wondered what my purpose was. I searched for answers.


Diving deep into my astrology and Human Design charts was absolutely LIFE CHANGING.

This was the start of truly loving & accepting myself. I could see reasons for why I was the way I was. It gave me permission to step into my gifts, instead of trying to suppress them and play small.


TRUTH IS: we’re not all meant to be the same. We’re here to contribute our uniqueness. To work together by sharing complimentary gifts & strengths.


The world needs your gifts. By living in ALIGNMENT with your soul's purpose, you help raise the vibration and consciousness of this planet, and get to experience fulfillment while living your absolute best life.


Ignoring this truth is painful and unsustainable. You’re here for a reason. Remembering who you are and connecting with your soul will reveal your purpose.


Let me tell you: your deepest soul desires will continue to arise, no matter how much you try to ignore them or take the "safe" route.


One of the most powerful lessons came to me through this journey:

feel the fear and do it anyways


I LOVE this mantra because it reminds me to follow my soul's desires, even when the fears come up. Because fear is just trying to keep us safe, but it can show up as resisting change and playing small.


When you tune into your body and you know that your intuition is pulling you toward something, even if it doesn't make sense logically, trust that. Trust that everything will fall into place, exactly as it’s meant to and it's okay not to know how, but to surrender to the unknown, trusting yourself.


If you’re resonating with any of this, and you want to dive deeper into inner work and healing but don’t know where to begin, I got you.
