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 Benefits of Telling Your Story

There’s a transformative power in telling your story. It’s more than just sharing your experiences; it’s about reclaiming your narrative and owning your journey. When you put your thoughts into words, whether spoken or written, you begin to see the threads that connect your past to your present. What once felt fragmented starts to make sense, and you gain clarity on who you are and how you’ve grown.

Telling your story allows you to process what you’ve been through. As you express your experiences, you may notice that the emotions tied to them start to shift. What was once heavy or painful can lighten, becoming something you can hold with more ease. You begin to see your life from a new perspective—one where you’re not defined by the events of your past but empowered by them.

When you share your story, you also claim it. You stop running from the hard parts and embrace them as integral pieces of your journey. This act of ownership is liberating. It helps you stand taller, speak louder, and feel more at peace with yourself. And when you share your story with others, you invite connection, empathy, and understanding, creating space for both you and those who listen to grow.

How Telling Your Story Can Transform You

  • Heal Trauma
    • Speaking your truth can help you release emotions that have been bottled up, reducing the grip of painful memories.
    • By sharing, you begin to rewrite your narrative, transforming moments of struggle into stepping stones of growth.
    • Processing your story helps calm your nervous system, shifting your brain from survival mode to a place of safety and integration.
  • Build Confidence
    • When you tell your story, you take control of your narrative and recognize your strength.
    • Each time you share, you affirm your worth and your ability to rise above challenges.
    • Owning your story reinforces your voice, helping you speak with clarity and conviction.
  • Improve Heart-Brain Coherence
    • Storytelling helps align your thoughts and emotions, creating a sense of inner harmony.
    • It brings you into the present moment, helping you connect more deeply with your authentic self.
    • Sharing your journey with others fosters empathy and connection, which in turn nurtures balance within you.

Why Your Story Matters

Your story is unique, and sharing it isn’t just for your benefit—it can also inspire and heal others. When you open up, you allow others to see themselves in your experiences, reminding them that they’re not alone. Your courage to share could be the catalyst for someone else’s healing or self-discovery.

Telling your story is a way of declaring to the world: I have lived. I have grown. I have something to offer. It’s a gift, not only to yourself but to everyone who has the privilege of hearing it.

So, take a moment to reflect. What story is waiting to be told? Start small if you need to—write in a journal, share with a trusted friend, or simply speak it aloud to yourself. Embrace the beauty, the messiness, and the wisdom in your journey. In telling your story, you may discover that the act itself is as transformative as the experiences you’re sharing.

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.

What Is a Living Brand?

A Living Brand is not a logo. Not a tagline. Not a colour palette. It’s me—fully expressed, fully embodied and fully alive. My brand is the energetic expression of my inner alignment. It’s not about being polished—it’s about being true. It’s my essence made visible. A soul signature the world can feel before they ever read a single word.

Because branding isn’t just strategy—it’s storytelling. And my story? It’s sacred. It’s the thread that ties my values, my voice, and my vision into something unforgettable. A Living Brand is dynamic. It breathes with you. It evolves as you evolve. It’s not a costume you wear. It’s a mirror of who you already are.

Why Your Brand Matters

Because people don’t buy your offers. They buy your energy. They buy alignment. My brand tells the world what I stand for before I say a word. It bridges the gap between what I believe and what I build. It creates resonance—so the right people feel like I’m speaking straight to them. When your brand is alive, it’s magical. And attracts the right clients. The right projects. The right momentum.

It doesn’t shout—it radiates. My brand is the container my purpose flows through. And when it’s built on my Soul’s truth, it becomes unstoppable.

How to Shape a Living Brand

Here’s how I keep my brand alive: I start with my values. What matters to me shapes everything I create. I align my voice, visuals, and vibration with my truth. No filters. No fakery. Just full-spectrum me. I lean into my archetypes. They shape how I write, create, and speak—so everything feels like me, even when I’m not in the room.

I stay consistent, but never stagnant. Because I’m growing. Healing. Becoming. And my brand grows with me. A Living Brand doesn’t follow formulas. She follows intuition. She’s built on clarity and crowned with perseverance. She is not a performance. She is pure permission. Encouraging others to show up real, too.

What is Story?

For me, story is the architecture of life.

It’s how I understand the world, how I make meaning of my experiences, and how I witness the unfolding of my human journey. Every twist and turn in life is part of a larger narrative—crafted not only by events, but by the deeper patterns that shape who I am becoming.

Our archetypes are the architects of these stories. They design the inner landscapes of our thoughts, emotions, and values, and they influence how we express ourselves in the outer world.

I also believe that story moves through us—not just from memory or imagination, but as a living force. That’s because story contains archetypal energy. These are not simply characters or roles—we’re talking about deep, universal forces that live in the collective unconscious. They move through us to be expressed, integrated, and ultimately embodied and shared.

Story is not just a past to remember—it’s a pattern to live by.

Why Story Matters

My personal story is a sacred reflection of my soul’s journey. It reveals where I’ve been, who I’ve become, and what wisdom I carry forward. Through it, I can see how my values were formed and how they now inform the way I show up in the world.

Story builds bridges—between people, within communities, and across generations. It fosters empathy, evokes a sense of belonging, and brings depth and meaning to life.

When I explore my own story, I have uncover hidden archetypes, long-forgotten memories, and deeper layers of my identity. Story has the power to heal wounds, connect hearts, and awaken ones strength. It reminds me that I am not alone—and neither are you.

How I Work with Story

Over the years, I’ve developed a deep reverence for storytelling as both a sacred art and a transformational tool. Here’s how I engage with it:

  1. I explore my narrative threads—those moments of initiation, turning points, triumphs, and challenges that have shaped my journey. Each one holds insight, truth, and medicine.
  2. I let archetypes speak. I allow their energy to rise within me and guide my reflections. Archetypes bring structure, symbolism, and soul to my story.
  3. I map my story—not just the events, but the patterns, values, attributes, and breakthroughs that have defined my growth. This mapping offers clarity and reveals the design of my inner world.
  4. I practice storytelling as sacred ritual. I write it, speak it, and most importantly—I live it. Story becomes a way to honour my experiences, reclaim my voice, and integrate my soul’s journey.
  5. I share with courage and vulnerability. I know that when I tell my story with authenticity, I create resonance. I open the door for transformation—not just for myself, but for others who recognize a piece of their truth in my words.

In the end, story is alive. It moves through us, guided by archetypal forces that are calling to be expressed. It is one of the most powerful tools we have for healing, awakening, and becoming. When we learn to listen, shape, and share our stories consciously, we align with the deeper rhythms of life and begin to live in harmony with who we truly are.

So I keep telling my story—not as a finished product, but as a living, breathing expression of becoming. And I invite you to do the same. ~ Heart to Heart, Elizabeth

Returning to What I Do Best

For years, I have woven my vocation into the digital landscape—crafting messages, tending to algorithms, and navigating the ever-growing demand for visibility. Yet, the relentless cycle of “feeding the machine” has become a burden, a distraction from my true purpose.

Social media thrives on endless seeking, comparing, and validation, keeping us tethered to screens rather than to our own creative wellspring. This no longer aligns with my path.

Bouncing between all the social media platforms—has fragmented my energy rather than allowing it to flow. Instead of nourishing my creativity, it has drained it. And my creativity is sacred to me; it is a life force that sustains me, the essence of my vocation, and something I know I must fiercely protect. When it is compromised, so too is the depth and integrity of my Spirit.

I gratefully hold a body of wisdom, teachings, and sacred tools designed to support transformation. And I no longer wish to pour my energy into a system that values speed over depth, and quantity over quality.

My soul craves something richer—genuine connection, meaningful exchange, the sacred unfolding of stories and beauty. I am returning to the heart of my work.

And so, I am stepping away from social media.

While this may mean reaching fewer people in the digital realm, I trust that the foundation I have built over the past three decades has already illuminated my path. 

I trust that those who seek my offerings will find me.

The modern world urges us to chase external stimulus, but I believe we are now being called to something much deeper and more valuable—to reclaim our true essence, our power, and to move with grace and intention in our conversations and exchanges.

This decision allows me to pour my energy into what holds meaning in my life—writing my blog, sharing my message and insights on my podcast THE CODE, dedicating myself to my books, courses, community gatherings and Living Goddess Coaching. These are the spaces where I can offer true value, where the Divine Living Presence flows freely, where transformation happens in its most potent form.

  • I choose beauty, depth, and longevity.
  • I choose the organic rhythm of life.
  • I choose the delight of authentic human interaction.

I trust in the Light of Divine Creation to guide this unfolding. And I look forward to continuing this journey in a way that honours the archetypal codes of my Soul—and of the Souls who choose to walk alongside me.
