None of these describe me.
Yes, I’ve lived a good part of my life trying not to rock the boat or ruffle feathers. I’m familiar with the intense acrobatics that are required to contort myself in order to be liked, to blend in, to make other people feel comfortable (or unthreatened, or self-assured) and to be like everyone else.
I also know, all too well, how exhausting and dehumanizing it is to try to be someone you’re not. It’s a terrific way to lose yourself and hand over your life to those you’re trying to please.
Thankfully, this isn’t something I’m even remotely interested in doing, anymore. I’ve learned that lesson well. And honestly, I like being ME.
I like the freedom I feel when I’m around people who see my imperfections, love my quirkiness, support my constant evolution and want to champion me in any way they can.
I love how empowering it feels to be around others who aren’t bothered, but instead inspired by me being bold, bright, wild and beautiful.
I am deeply nourished and buoyed by the time I spend with those who also want to push their edges, experience MORE, and open up to their infinite potential, talents and joy.
It feels deeply liberating to know that it’s okay – in fact, it makes me even more remarkable – when I step into my greatness. Because I’m anything but “normal”, and that is a very, very good thing.
Here’s the thing: There’s nothing normal about you, either.
You are…

Juicy
Gifted
Learning
Trusting
Wild
Beautiful
Inimitable
Colorful
Sensual
Vibrant
Intuitive
Receptive

Fantastic
Brilliant
Amazing
Magnificent
… and that’s just the beginning.
All of the things that make you stand out, that make you exceptional, and extraordinary – they are what make you GREAT.
Greatness is what you’re made for. It’s why you’re here, and who you’re being called to BE.
You are a courageous, mysterious, supernatural phenomenon.
You are a magical miracle in action.
You are a force to be reckoned with…
…If, and only if, you STOP TRYING TO BE LIKE ANYONE OTHER THAN YOU.
Your power, fulfillment, joy, happiness and fullest potential live outside the typical, usual, average, normal you find yourself slipping back into again and again.
So, let yourself color outside the lines!
Don that bright red lipstick, wear those amazing shoes you’ve been saving for a “special occasion”, dance naked in your living room, paint your bedroom pink, dream as big as you possibly can, and let the rare brilliance of YOU shine freely.
Now, more than ever, the world needs your light. We need your special sauce. We need you to be as remarkable, outrageous and daring as you can possibly be.
Stop trying to be normal. Be YOU as often, and as freely, as you can.
Because your vitality, beauty and power lives THERE. And that’s where you belong.
Being true to yourself can be challenging to do on your own. There’s so much baggage we carry around this, often without even knowing! But in community? YES! It’s not only possible to let your true self shine, but it gets to be a fantastic journey, too! Join us here.
