13. your idea wants to be born

You have an idea. And it's stuck. You've been keeping it stuck. The business you've been "working on" for two years. The book you're "going to write." The career pivot you've been "getting ready for." In this episode, I tune into the energy of the idea itself - the one that's been sitting in your head, your notebook, your notes app - and ask: What does it want you to know? Three powerful messages about self-compassion, your inner voices, and the excessive control keeping your idea in the dark.

You have an idea. And it's stuck. You've been keeping it stuck.

It's the idea that never gets to see the light of day.

The energy of the idea itself is what I'm tapping into. Not the person who has the idea. Not the future version who has executed it. But the idea that's been sitting in your head, your notebook, your notes app for months or years that you keep working on or thinking about, but never actually bring to life.

That idea is surrounded by unrealized potential. A dream that stays a dream. A thing that wants to be born but keeps getting pushed down. It's being pained by overthinking. It's feeling like an impulse that doesn't get to become real.

It's like the idea has a consciousness, and it wants to exist. It's calling to you. But you keep researching, planning, perfecting in your mind, and it never gets to actually be.

Perhaps it's the business you've been "working on" for two years. Or the book you're "going to write." The career pivot you've been "getting ready for." The side project that's "almost ready."

I'm asking that idea - that dream, that calling, that thing that wants to exist - what does it want you to know?

Here's what came through.

12. messages from your future self

What if you could hear from the version of you who has already built the life you want? In this episode, I tune into a future version of you - someone who has built something successful that gives them stability, security, comfort, and the ability to enjoy life. I'm asking her what she wants you to know right now. What came through are three powerful messages about the journey, your path, and being your authentic self.

Today's episode is a bit different.

When I tuned into what the community might want to hear about, I received it in a visionary way.

I received the image of someone who has built something successful that gives them stability, security, comfort, and the ability to enjoy life.

This is like a future version of you.

So I'm imagining you as someone who has built something successful that gives you stability, security, comfort, and the ability to enjoy life. I'm tuning into that version of you that exists. Because she does exist.

I'm asking her what she would like for us to know. In that space between where you are and where she is - she being you in that version - what does she want for you to know?

Alongside tuning into her energy, I'm pulling cards to support the messages that she has for us.

Here's what came through.
