Do you have difficulty trusting? Yourself? Others? In life?

Maybe you’ve trusted before, only to experience heart-breaking betrayal?

Or perhaps trust, like a foreign country, sounds interesting, but you’ve never known it yourself.

Whatever the case, trust is an inborn trait of all living beings [think babies].

Without it, we’d never survive.

Yet how can we trust when those we’ve loved have broken this precious bond?

When, from birth, the very structure that socialized us simultaneously tore from us our innate connection with life?

When our own body betrays us—through desire or lack thereof?

Yet trust we must as it’s the sole vehicle that carries us out from the weight of our conditioning.

Lucky for us, trust is actually a choice.

The question that begs to be asked is: will we make that choice?

Within each of us, lives our own inherent genius.

The part of us that’s not only profoundly connected with life itself, but which equally understands that which yearns to be born, touched, and expressed within us.

She cannot be tamed or destroyed.

Rather, she is profoundly patient, awaiting the moment we finally come back home to ourselves.

In a world that entraps our desires, how do we distinguish that which returns us to ourselves?

Society. Religion. Politics. Family. And yes, even the so-called “Goddess Movement” have all contributed to the continued illusion that we are not enough exactly as we are.

You were born sovereign—whole unto yourself—and whether or not you know and act as such, you remain sovereign.

If there is an illness in women, it’s the forgetting of our own sovereignty. Instead, we habitually and unquestionably assign our power to everyone and everything else.

Here’s the deal, no one has the power to rescue you…

Heal you…

Awaken you…

Or free you.

… but yourself.

In the moment you choose, shift happens.

The key is to hold your power within yourself as you graciously thank whomever has been present to witness the birth of yourself.

I’ve seen, time and time again, women who assign their radiance to a teacher, leader, lover, and yes, even to the Jade Egg: where any positive or transformational results are simultaneously celebrated and disowned.

Over and over again, we refuse ourselves.

So how than can we trust?

Trust is a radical choice.

The only choice, the choice to come back home to yourself; no matter how messy, shutdown, confused, or empowered we believe ourselves to be.

So I dare you to trust.

To trust in the inherent genius of YOU.

The time is NOW.

You’re the one you’ve been yearning for.

Now it’s your turn.
