For the last few years, I’ve been looking in the mirror and honestly didn’t recognize the woman looking back at me. I felt like my youth had been taken, and I struggled deeply with my appearance, my weight, and a heavy sense of "ugliness" that I couldn't shake. I was in a loop of trying to justify meanings for things that were simply draining my light. I used to think that if I was truly in alignment, it would show in my face—but for a long time, it didn't. I felt stuck in the discomfort. But today, everything changed. After the recent full moon and the intense clearing work I’ve been doing, I looked in the mirror and finally saw ME again. Not the version of me dimmed by "the dark," but the radiant person I know I am at a soul level. This journey has taught me that your physical self is a direct reflection of your internal state. When you finally stop clinging to the pieces that don't fit and choose the light, your spirit literally begins to shine through your skin. To anyone else feeling "unrecognizable" right now: Keep doing the inner work. The clearance is real, and your radiance is just waiting for permission to come home.

We get lost in trying to think this journey has to be perfect, or that we have to be perfect, or for us to be perfect on this journey—that we cannot have any flaws, that we cannot have moments of Darkness ourselves, or we can't have any struggles or any negative feelings. We think we have to be completely light all the time, always positive, always seeing something else in things that, in that moment, just seem so dense. But that's not the journey. That's not the lesson. And that's not what we should be portraying to others as teachers, as healers. What we need to be doing is exactly what you're doing: reflecting on the raw honesty. Because it's not the ability to be perfect—it's the ability to work through the dark stuff. And that is the lesson. And that is the gift. 🌓✨

What to post here: Sharing the raw, "messy" parts of the process—vulnerability, fatigue, or the "frizzled" feeling of being between two worlds. Vibe: Soft, supportive, and grounded.

How long have you been on your journey? Can you remember the moment your eyes begin to open? *I have put my experience in the comments below 😇
