Trusting and Knowing Yourself

Have you ever longed to be deeply seen, only to find yourself met with silence or misunderstanding?

There’s a quiet truth I’ve come to know—one that didn’t arrive all at once, but gently, over time: People can only recognise you to the extent that they’ve come to know themselves. It’s not an easy truth. I used to resist it. Maybe you have, too. I’ve felt the ache of wanting someone to understand me, to see into my depths. I’ve reached toward others, hoping to draw them into greater intimacy and presence—not out of pressure, but out of longing. And when they couldn’t meet me there, I questioned myself. Why don’t they get it?

But slowly, life began to soften me.

With time, with grace, and yes—with heartbreak—I began to see things differently. I realised it’s not my work to push another beyond where they are. It’s my calling to stay true to who I am: to be real, to be kind, and to meet others with love. So now I ask you to consider: Where might you be holding the weight of needing to be understood? There’s a quiet freedom in letting go—the kind that comes when you no longer need to translate the language of your soul to fit someone else’s vocabulary. When you stop trying to be palatable and simply become present.

I’ve learned that my deepest gift is just that: presence.
Unmasked. Unpolished. Whole. And when I meet others from that place, without needing to be mirrored, something shifts.

I begin to love them as they are.
I begin to honour their pace.
And I begin to trust the wisdom of timing—not mine, but life’s.

Not everyone will meet us in that sacred middle space.
Some will. Some won’t.
And both are okay.

What matters is that we keep showing up—with enthusiasm, with truth, and with the kind of peace that doesn’t hinge on being understood. Because wholeness isn’t given by others. It’s remembered within. And maybe that’s where you begin again, too. Right here. Just as you are.

The Hidden Danger of the Ordinary

Hello, wondrous Souls,

Today I am talking about being extraordinary…

We’re often taught that “ordinary” is safe. That if we stay in our lane, play by the rules, and blend into the beige backdrop of convention, we’ll be rewarded with a quiet life. But let me offer another view—not a radical rebellion, but a soul truth: ordinary can be a slow seduction into mediocrity, sameness, and complacency.

It’s subtle at first. The ordinary offers us comfort, predictability, and a version of belonging. But left unchecked, it begins to dull the edges of our creativity, our daring, and our evolutionary spark. What once served as a haven of rest can become a rut of resignation.

Ordinary becomes sameness.
Sameness becomes stagnation.
And stagnation leads to entropy and the unravelling of life’s vital impulse.

We are not meant to stay still for too long. Life itself is motion, breath, transformation. When we settle into the ordinary and call it enough—without examining if it’s still true, still alive for us—we begin to betray the divine within.

Because here’s the deeper truth: we are not designed to stop becoming.

The yearning to grow, to evolve, to reach beyond what is known—it’s not selfish. It’s sacred. It’s part of the holy code written into our DNA. We are meant to push boundaries—not always in big, showy ways, but in authentic, soul-stretching movements that pull us closer to who we really are.

And look again at the word live. Now flip it: evil.

What stops life, what stifles it, denies it, dulls it, becomes its opposite. Anything that blocks the life force within us, cages our spirit in sameness, and suppresses the call to grow becomes a shadow force. A kind of quiet death.

And yet—many who appear ordinary are living extraordinary lives.

The poet who writes by candlelight, unseen by the world.
The healer whose laughter transforms pain in the checkout line.
The elder who carries stories like sacred seeds, planting them in the hearts of her kin.

These lives are not mediocre. They are alive. They pulse with intention, wonder, and presence. The difference is not in appearance—it is in awareness.

So let us not confuse ordinary with alive.
Let us not glorify sameness when it becomes a cage.

Let us honour the ordinary only when it is infused with devotion, purpose, and soul.
Let us rise from mediocrity, not to chase fame or perfection, but to become fully ourselves.

This is the true extraordinary life: one that resists complacency, that listens deeply, that dares to grow.

Because mediocrity is not just a lack of excellence—it’s a lack of aliveness.
Sameness is not just uniformity—it is forgetting the wild uniqueness of our own soulprint.

And evolution is inner, sacred, and radiant—it is our natural way forward.

So awaken, Beloveds. Live. Burn bright. The world needs your passion.

Seeing the Scars, But Not the Story

Hello wondrous Souls,

Today I am talking about perception…

I always begin my presentations by sharing parts of my story to set the context of my brand. However, after a talk I gave to a large group of women on personal branding through archetypes, I was approached by someone who lingered back as the crowd thinned. They came up to me, eyes earnest, voice soft, and said:

“I’m so sorry that happened to you. I had a perfect childhood… I can’t imagine going through what you did.”

Then, without pause, they added:

“Imagine who you could have been if that hadn’t happened to you.”

Her words landed with a confused thud; they carried no malice but something subtler—more revealing. In that moment, I smiled gently, nodded graciously, and allowed her to speak her truth.

Later, in the quiet of my heart, I felt the need to sit with it—to feel it fully and sense what it might be pointing to, not just in terms of her understanding but also in how our stories are received, filtered, and sometimes misunderstood. Perhaps it was a moment shaped by her lifes lens—by unspoken wounds, cultural conditioning, or a need to make sense of my experience through her framework.

And, of course, there’s always the possibility that what was spoken was less about me and more about the quiet projections of her own subconscious beliefs—surfacing in response to something unprocessed within herself.

The woman’s comment came not from cruelty but from a lens shaped by simplicity—perhaps even pity and privilege. It struck me that suffering was a detour, an interruption to potential in her world. In mine, it was the fire that forged my authenticity. I don’t say that lightly. Pain doesn’t always make us stronger, but when we consciously work with it, it certainly makes us deeper.

There was a time when I, too, longed for a “perfect” past. One untouched by trauma. But that longing was now a ghost. My real growth began when I stopped seeing myself as broken and started seeing myself as a resilient and creative human being. Not despite my story—but because of it.

This person was indeed a gift and gave me another perceptive of how others may not see who I am due to the lens they choose to view life. Thankfully, for me the archetypes that inform my reality—The Alchemist, The Visionary, The Divine Child and The Queen—were not born out of a perfect world. They emerged gifting me all their light and shadow attributes—through my cracked-open places and the trials, challenges and initiations handed to me early in life.

If you only see the scars, you miss the magic and message in the story.

My truth is this: There is no version of me more powerful than I am now. Not the one who never experienced pain, not the one who was spared from a challenge. This version—right here, right now—results from soul-forging choices, courage in the face of fear, and a relentless devotion to turning wounds into wisdom.

And perhaps that is what we are here to do: not explain our story to be understood, but embody it so clearly, so confidently, so sacredly that others are invited not to pity us—but to look within themselves and ask, What am I not seeing about myself ?

So, to the gorgeous human being who approached me: I thank you, honour you and your spirit. I see your truth. But I know this—I am not a lesser version of who I could have been.

I am the living, breathing story of who I came here to be and I’m eternally grateful for my extraordinary story.

When Presence Becomes a Portal

The Soul’s Unshakeable Mission

Yesterday, I turned 66—Another cycle around the sun. Another layer of wisdom settled into my bones. I’ve come to love birthdays, not just as milestones of age, but as invitations—gateways that open into deeper self-knowing. With each passing year, a little more wisdom rises to the surface, and a little more of what once felt complicated now feels clear.

This birthday brought with it a simple but soul-shifting reminder:

It doesn’t matter how much you try to tame your energy to suit an audience—your spirit will still come through.

And that’s because, at the deepest level of your being, you already know what you are here for. Your soul carries a memory, a code, a divine assignment. Whether you whisper it or roar it, that sacred imprint will radiate through your presence.

In my case, that mission is rooted in Transformation and Sacred Beauty—the divine capacity to bring about inner alchemy and awaken others to the exquisite truth and beauty of who they really are.

When the Divine Puts You in Front of an Audience

There’s a sacred saying I often recall:

“Where two or more are gathered in my name, there I am also.”

Which I call the Holy Spirit, The Divine Living Presence or the Christos Sophia

When I’m placed before a group—no matter the size—I’ve learned it’s not by accident. I am being called to hold a specific frequency, to activate something in the collective field. And so, my presence alone becomes an invitation for transformation.

But here’s the paradox.

Some people feel instantly expanded in my presence. They sense a new timeline open up, a glimpse of their true potential. Others may feel stirred, uncomfortable, even triggered. Why? Because transformation requires readiness. And beauty—true sacred beauty—can feel confronting when someone hasn’t yet remembered their own.

For a long time, I internalized this resistance as rejection. I made it personal. But no longer. Now, I stand in clarity and compassion. I no longer shrink or self-edit to appease the room. I’ve come to understand that not everyone will resonate with me in the moment, but their spirit might.

And that’s enough. That’s grace.

My only function is to embody love and offer blessing. The rest is between them and God. I have this saying that I’ve being sharing for 20 years now…

My responsibility to you is to be me. (it sums it up in just a few words)

The Architecture of Presence: Two Lenses of Expression

Over time, I’ve come to understand that my presence is created through two lenses:

(These are my specific lenses, they can be different for each person)

Lens One: Vibration

  • Strength
  • Beauty
  • Loving
  • Divinity
  • Integrity
  • Compassion
  • Intuition
  • Gratitude

Lens Two: Action

  • Benevolence
  • Prophecy
  • Blissfulness
  • Extraordinary
  • Resurrection
  • Truth
  • Plentiful
  • Unity

Together, these attributes form a radiant field. But, as with all energy, they hold polarity. When distorted, the vibrational lens can be felt as weakness, resentment, ugliness, or being bound to the material. The action-based lens may appear as destruction, misunderstanding, unworthiness, or mediocrity.

Presence, therefore, is the living combination of vibration and action. It is a sacred offering. But it is also a mirror. And when others look into that mirror, they will either feel the call to rise or the discomfort of resistance. That’s not mine to manage.

My task is to stay aligned, to remain available to the alchemical process of the soul’s work.

Meeting People Where They Are… or Not

We’ve all heard the phrase:

“You have to meet people where they’re at.”

And while this holds truth in intimate, one-on-one exchanges, it doesn’t always translate in group dynamics. In a group, one can only speak from a clear context, hold steady to their vibration, and trust that what lands is what is meant to land.

People arrive at different stages of readiness, willingness, and availability to grow. They carry different needs for validation, different karmic imprints, and different soul contracts.

Which is why part of my own soul work has been to clear the karmic residue from past lives that may have once limited my expression. In this lifetime, these are the transformations I’ve been called to anchor:

  • From Destructive to Benevolence
  • From Misunderstood to Prophecy
  • From Unworthy to Blissfulness
  • From Ordinary to Extraordinary
    Together, these support my vision; Sacred Beauty
  • From Victimized to Resurrection
  • From Falsehood to Truth
  • From Inadequate to Plentiful
  • From Comparison to Unity
    Together, these embody my mission; Transformation

This ongoing evolution supports my soul’s purpose and amplifies my ability to serve.

And now, at 66, I feel a deeper embodiment of this than ever before. It’s not just what I know—it’s who I’ve become.

But What About Those Who Don’t Want Transformation or Sacred Beauty?

This is the question that lingered in my heart:

What happens when someone comes into my presence… and they don’t want transformation or sacred beauty?

Here is what I’ve come to know:

Some people don’t consciously desire transformation because it threatens the identity they’ve spent a lifetime building. Others don’t recognize sacred beauty because they’ve been conditioned to value the superficial over the soul. And others are simply not ready.

But the soul is a vast, timeless force. Just because the mind resists, doesn’t mean the spirit isn’t listening.

My job isn’t to convince, convert, or cater.
My job is to transmit truth with love.

And so, even if a person isn’t ready to receive transformation or sacred beauty consciously, their soul might take in just enough light to stir a future awakening. And if nothing else, I can always bless them, exactly as they are.

Because in the end, our true presence is never wasted. It plants seeds. It opens timelines. It honours divinity.

So here I am—66 years alive—and more devoted than ever to living my truth out loud.

I’ve stopped trying to make myself small to soothe others’ discomfort. I’ve stopped questioning the magnitude of my vision and mission. I’ve chosen to trust the truth of my soul’s purpose.

Because the truth is, whether someone wants transformation and sacred beauty or not—my presence, my spirit will still offer it.

It’s who I am now.
It’s what I carry.
And it’s why I’m here.

How I Activate My Purpose

My purpose isn’t something I find. It’s something I remember—a golden thread running through every season of my life, quietly calling me back to myself. Activating my purpose begins with tracing my own sacred storylines.

  • What lights me up without explanation?
  • What breaks my heart open and reveals my humanity?
  • And what remains, even when everything else has changed?

These storylines aren’t just memories—they’re messages. They are my soul’s breadcrumbs, guiding me toward deeper self-recognition. To truly activate my purpose, I must become a devoted listener. I listen to the voice of my archetypes—those timeless energies that animate my actions and infuse my being with meaning. I tune in to my dreams—both the ones I experience at night and the waking visions that pull at my spirit. And I trust my deep longings—they are not weaknesses to be silenced, but sacred clues to my becoming.

I ask myself: What does the world need that only I can give?

This isn’t about ego. It’s about essence. When I allow purpose to move through me, it becomes more than an idea. It becomes embodied—felt in my body, heard in my voice, seen in my presence. And this is where my personal brand comes in—not as a logo or tagline, but as a living field that carries my frequency, my values, and my truth.

My brand becomes the sacred vehicle of my purpose—

  • Embodied in how I show up.
  • Expressed in how I serve.
  • And evolving as I grow.

Activating my purpose is not a one-time event. It’s a continuous, co-creative dance between my highest self and the ever-changing landscape of life. It asks for my presence, my courage, and my willingness to say yes to my unique assignment in this lifetime. So, I take a breath. I trace my stories. I listen deeply. I serve wholeheartedly. And I let the light of my purpose illuminate the path—not just for me, but for all those I’m here to touch.

And if something in these words resonates with you—if you feel a stirring in your heart or a spark of remembrance—I invite you to explore this path too. Begin to trace your own golden thread. Trust your stories, your dreams, your longings. Let purpose become something you live, breathe, and embody.

Together, we illuminate more than just our own way forward—We light the way for others. ~ Heart to Heart, Elizabeth

The Two Paths of Power

Addiction, Collapse, or the Rise of Light Leadership

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the nature of power—how it manifests, what drives it, and, most importantly, what happens when it is pursued without alignment to a higher purpose. Power, in its essence, is neither good nor bad; it is simply a force. But like all forces, it takes on the qualities of those who wield it. And here is where the great divide occurs. There are two fundamental paths that power can take—one driven by the hunger of the shadow and the other guided by the wisdom of the light.

The Shadow Path: Power as an Addiction

When power is sought after, it begins to operate like an addiction. The first taste ignites a rush—an intoxicating mix of adrenaline, dopamine, and a sense of invincibility. Those who chase power for personal gain often find themselves in a cycle of ever-increasing hunger, needing more influence, more control, more recognition to sustain the high.

This is the path of shadow leadership, where power is pursued not to serve, but to dominate. It is power hoarded rather than shared, manipulated rather than offered, used as a weapon rather than a gift. On this path, leaders often fall into one of two traps—implosion or explosion.

  • Implosion occurs when power is unstable—when it lacks true foundation, wisdom, or purpose. A leader driven by ego and insecurity may rely too heavily on others, using manipulation and coercion to hold onto influence. They create confusion, distractions, and drama to maintain their grip, but without genuine cohesion, their authority crumbles. Betrayals, miscalculations, and internal discord lead to collapse. Power, when rooted in instability, eventually turns inward and destroys itself.
  • Explosion happens when power-hungry individuals gain momentum. If their thirst for dominance is mirrored by those around them, they build an empire of control, pushing forward with brute force. This kind of power grows rapidly, but recklessly, crushing opposition and consolidating influence. Yet power accumulated without balance always reaches a breaking point. When the pressure becomes too great—whether through resistance, rebellion, or the sheer weight of unchecked ambition—it explodes outward, shattering everything in its wake.

Both paths—whether implosion or explosion—end the same way: destruction. Power that is not aligned with wisdom, service, and integrity will either consume itself or be consumed by the forces it underestimated.

Archetypal Power: Shadow vs. Light

Power is always expressed through an archetype—a fundamental pattern of human experience. Every archetype has both a shadow and a light expression, and the way power is wielded determines which side is activated.

Here are a few examples:

THE KING can be benevolent or destructive—a true king serves his people, creating stability, prosperity, and harmony. A tyrant, on the other hand, seeks to control, dominate, and instill fear, ruling through force rather than wisdom.

THE HERO can be altruistic or egotistic—a hero who serves a greater cause becomes a source of inspiration and change. But when the hero fights only for their own glory, they fall into arrogance, making reckless decisions and turning their journey into self-destruction.

THE HEALER can resurrect or victimize—a healer aligned with light restores and empowers. But a healer in shadow may manipulate pain, fostering dependency rather than healing, keeping others wounded to maintain control.

This duality exists in all archetypes. The path one chooses determines whether their power contributes to evolution or collapse.

The Light Path: Power as Sacred Responsiblity

There is another way. Power, when aligned with wisdom, compassion, and a higher purpose, does not implode or explode—it expands. It moves through those who recognize that true leadership is not about control, but about a deeper responsiblity.

This is Light Leadership—where power is not a drug, but a calling. It is power displayed in service of something greater than the self, guided by integrity, humility, and a deep connection to ones purpose.

  • Power aligned with divine wisdom is stable. It does not need to manipulate, because it inspires. It does not need to control, because it empowers. Those who walk this path are not afraid of losing power, because they understand that true power flows, rather than stagnates.
  • Power rooted in service creates rather than consumes. Light Leadership does not demand submission but invites participation. It seeks to uplift rather than oppress. It does not hoard power but distributes it, ensuring that influence is used for the benefit of all rather than the gain of one.

The difference between shadow and light leadership is not in the amount of power held, but in the intent behind it.

  • Shadow leadership sees power as possession. It must be controlled, guarded, and wielded to serve the self.
  • Light leadership sees power as a conduit. It flows through, meant to be shared, expressed, and used for the healing and evolution of the whole.

The Choice: Feeding the Void or Expanding the Light

At the core of all power is a question: What is it serving?

Shadow power serves emptiness—a void that can never be filled, no matter how much influence, wealth, or control is accumulated. This is why those who pursue power for themselves are never satisfied. They devour, but are never full.

Light power serves truth. It does not seek validation, because it is already whole. It does not need to dominate, because it understands that true power does not come from force, but from alignment with something greater.

We each have a choice in how we display power. Will we take the path of addiction, collapse, and destruction? Or will we rise, not for ourselves, but for the world?

The greatest leaders are not those who take power, but those who become vessels for it. They lead not with control, but with clarity. They do not seek to be worshiped, but to uplift. They do not hoard influence, but ignite it in others.

This is the path of Light Leadership. And in a world on the brink of transformation, it is the only power that will last.
