The part of you that can make your best content is probably hidden in your shadows. We all carry a picture of who we're allowed to be, shaped by our parents, our schooling, and the culture we grew up in. Some parts of us were socially acceptable and got rewarded. Other parts didn't. But all of them are still part of who we are. What to look at What parts of you got banished for being too much or not enough? Where did you receive disapproval, or get shut down? One of the most powerful forms of shadow work is revealing those parts and being witnessed in the revealing. Doing this reclaims power and life force, and that's gold for your content. How to apply it Choose an archetype that's living in your shadows and bring it to the front. Who are they? What do they want to say? What would happen if you stepped into this character, made a 60 or 90 second video, and posted it on the internet? What's next Do it, and report back in the comments. We want to see these shadows.

Welcome to Week Two. The theme we're activating this week is courage. The word courage comes from the Latin, then the French, before finding its way into English. The word coeur means heart, but it also points toward our core, our spirit. To have courage is to operate from our spirit and our heart regardless of whether we feel fear, intimidation or anxiety. It is the ability to connect to who we really are and to communicate, express and take action from that place. Why is this important when we're talking about messaging? Because we're programmed on many levels to keep ourselves safe and to play small. Our reptilian and mammalian brains are designed for survival. They tell us to hide, not take risks and not endanger ourselves. Then we add human conditioning. Tribal status, belonging and fitting in all become tied to our sense of safety. Human beings are social primates. We're designed to fit in. So speaking your message, expressing yourself artistically and stepping into leadership all feel risky to the nervous system. And yet there is something in us that wants more than survival. If we want to thrive and contribute, we have to access courage. I've worked on sexuality and embodiment for twenty years and entrepreneurship for fifteen. Both are challenging. But I think the artistic path is even more vulnerable. It asks us to put our heart on the line. To share what's inside us. To reveal parts that are vulnerable or sensitive. To create work that genuinely moves people, we have to take a risk. We have to bare ourselves. We have to bare our soul. And we have to do it over and over again. The bigger risk isn't being judged. The bigger risk is reaching the end of your life and realising you never really expressed your gifts. That you never gave as much as you could. That you never fully showed up. Not making enough money would be disappointing. Not achieving certain goals might sting. But never expressing my real essence into the world would feel like a waste of my life.

Let us know how your journey is going? Any wins? Struggles? Need help? We’re here to support 🖤

Posted twice today. Wanting to break through that 4th wall on the camera. Felt called to speak like im 10 years old. Where I have no filter, things are simple and I have nothing to prove, nothing to teach. Felt good! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbYAqzpJG94/?igsh=MWZjZmprMmJiczNnMA==

Journal Prompts: Finding Your Wellspring Why this matters These four prompts are going to give you a wellspring to draw from. Real richness, real ideas, the stuff that ends up feeding your videos, your writing, your branding. This is how you tap into your creativity at a deeper level. Before you start, move your body. Dance, shake, hit the gym, whatever gets you online and connected. There's a playlist below and in the resources if you need inspiration. Then sit with each prompt, feel into it, and free associate. It doesn't need to make perfect sense. You're tapping into your unconscious to find out what's actually going on in there. The four prompts: 1. What's the thing you really want to see happen in this life? For me it's helping people who feel like outsiders, like the world wasn't built for them, find their power and make an impact. 2. Who do you care about and really want to help? I call mine autistic mystics: spiritual entrepreneurs, passionate creatives, quirky magical weirdos who want to make a difference. Probably people like you. 3. What's a big life challenge you've overcome? You don't need to talk about it in every piece of content, but knowing it will help you form your origin story. Usually our wounds are what lead us to our purpose. 4. What are your creative and aesthetic influences? The music, movies, books, fashion that shaped who you are, and how that flows forward into your brand and your world-building. Remember the story from the first video, the grandma's lounge room, knowing the exact colour of the cushions. If we're building a world, we want as much aesthetic richness as we can draw on, so that world actually reflects our uniqueness. What's next Move your body first. Then sit with these four prompts and free associate on each one. Don't edit yourself. Just see what comes up.
