In today’s episode, I am joined by Amanda Vanessa, and we’re exploring the idea that if you’re not the villain in someone else’s story, you’re probably not being your authentic self…
When we step into our power, our authenticity, our full expression, we are very likely going to trigger someone.
Being our authentic self and expressing ourselves has become taboo, so many of us are still hiding, contorting, suppressing, dimming our light in order to fit in and so when you step into your power, truth and authenticity, it’s going to make others that feel unsafe to do that uncomfortable.
Triggers are a beautiful thing, they reveal to us what’s unhealed, unresolved, unintegrated, our of alignment so that we can come back to alignment, authenticity and truth.
We’re often so afraid to trigger someone because it feels like it threatens our belonging which threatens our survival but when we realise that our belonging is within, it’s our responsibility, we can cultivate it for ourselves and it can never be taken away.
So often we are relying on others to meet our needs for love, acceptance and belonging and then we feel trapped in our lives and relationships.
When you cultivate self-love, acceptance and belonging from within, you are able to be your full self, this is where you find your freedom, and this is what allows you to connect with your soul tribe.
When you stop trying to fit in and be your full self, which will involve accepting that not everyone will like you, you’re able to magnetise the people that LOVE you and resonate with your true self, and you’ll experience the love, connection and belonging you’ve been craving.
I’m excited to share this conversation with you, it’s so powerful and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts and what resonated for you.
