In choosing to step
joyfully and radically
into living a life fully
aligned with your heart,
there is a breakdown of
all that does not serve
your highest good.
2016, I could feel that my thriving practice as
a therapist was coming to an end. I loved
my work. Yet I could not ignore the call of my
heart to evolve the way I was meant to, to take
better care of myself, and serve my clients
from a place of overflow, not depletion.
One morning that year, as I was headed
to my office for a jam-packed schedule of
clients, I heard these words: “Free yourself,
Marcia”. These words came from beyond
me. I KNEW that I was needing to shine my
light more brightly and step more fully into
my mission.
But I was also afraid. My trance of
unworthiness around making a bigger impact
showed up. A part of me was invested in
staying in my comfort zone. It was working
“just fine”. Why would I want to shed what
looked on the outside like a perfect life?
My mission was bigger than my fear and
thankfully I allowed it to lead me into new
36
and unpredictable adventures as I changed
my entire way of serving and leading
awakening women.
Amazing opportunities started to flow in.
One of those opportunities was writing for
Aspire Magazine and helping women like
you activate your spiritual identity, thrive
in the midst of uncertainty and shed your
trance of unworthiness, and develop a “can
do” mindset.
The self-sacrifice feminine script has got to
go. As women, we are ready to create a new
story where we give ourselves free rein to
dream bigger and thrive in all circumstances.
Whether you choose it or whether it chooses
you, this ending of your old life can trigger
unintegrated pain. Believe it or not, it is a gift
to free your soul so you can fully blossom. A
part of you may not trust that you are going to
be okay. But when you rise to the challenge
and courageously say yes to aligning with
your heart’s intelligence, you are stepping
into a new world. This new world is a life of
freedom, meaning, purpose and abundance.
Moving out of your safety zone, you discover
a place inside your heart that is a haven of
support and revelation. Like Dorothy when
Glinda guided her to click her heels three
times, you have to go through your earthly
challenges and lessons to come full circle
back home and discover that your true
home is within your heart. Everything you
ever wanted is found there. As you become
more familiar with this new world, there is no
going back. You know you need to continue
to evolve.
Perhaps right now, you are at a moment of
choice today, facing a major transition. What
do you really want? You can say yes to a life
