Judgment: A Symbol of Transformation and Personal Responsibility
Judgment: Embracing the power of self-reflection and taking responsibility for my actions. Seeking forgiveness and redemption. Finding liberation in honesty and truth. ⚖️🙏
Life isn't easy. Self ownership isn't easy. Taking responsibility, 100%, for ourselves, is exhausting.
I get it.
Over the last three years, I have gone immensely deep into my own shadow work, excavating trauma and every bit of maladaptive coping I use to look at it from all angles and shine light on my most buried parts.
I walked these shadows using therapy, coaching, floating, dancing, art, weeping, rituals, plant medicine, meditation, breathwork... I'm still walking in the shadows even now and holding the hand of every fear-filled and insecure part of me as I do so.
In the past three years, I addressed and actively worked to dismantle my relationship or engagement with:
Inner Fat Phobia as a fat person
Codependency in every area and dynamic in my life.
Generational trauma and societal legacies, expectations, and “norms”
Chronic health conditions and what is in my control to do about it
The Patriarchy
Cishet normativity and compulsory sexuality
I've radically renegotiated my relationships within myself and in doing so allowed new, healthier relationships in my external and everyday life.
In doing this work, I rediscovered who *I* am underneath the nurture.
I've unpacked my cosmic or divine blueprint.
I’ve been willing to look at the human messiness and accept it all.
I'm proudly empowered now.
I am my own Inner CEO. I guide my emotional parts and traumatized parts with just as much compassion and openness as I do the parts of me that plan and plot out my dreams, show up in joyful relationships, and seek pleasure.
I'm proud to judge myself a worthy CEO, visionary transformational leader, badass empowered Natural Number 9, and Self & soul-lead person.
Through doing that inner work and finding my Self energy, I've finally been able to heal enough to step into a genuine leadership role with Living LUNA and what this brand aims to achieve.
I am NOT perfect nor do I aim to be. I do not believe egoic perfection exists in a three-dimensional reality, but that's a dissertation for another day. 😂
But, I sure am honest.
I get seething angry sometimes, especially at injustice. I cry often (thank goodness. I was cut off from that for years!). I sigh when I need to vent something heavy. I occasionally overuse a substance such as food or w33d when I don't know how to console myself, then I gently guide myself back. I am imperfect in my communication and I often don't have the right words to share exactly how I am feeling.
But, I stand up for myself AND others now. Not just others. And that does make a very important difference, even if society and peers alike have told me it is wrong to use my voice, selfish, bitchy, or unladylike.
I am me. Compassionate. Brave. Joyful. Free.
I want you to be you. Beloved. Joyful. Free. Whatever those look like for you.
Do you judge yourself worthy? If not… Why not?! YOU ARE AWESOME!
