I want to personally welcome @Jamie-Lee Guiver into the circle. Jamie has already been walking alongside this work — she’s joined two recent workshops and shared that the message resonated strongly enough for her to lean in and go deeper. That kind of self-listening matters. When I asked what Warrior Heart means to her, she said: “Meeting myself where I’m at and finding a path forward that’s meaningful.” There is real courage in that. Not rushing. Not bypassing. Just meeting yourself honestly and choosing your next step with intention. Jamie is bringing honesty and a willingness to face hard truths — and she’s committed to actually applying what she learns into her life. That’s the work. Not just insight… but integration. And the intention she is reclaiming is powerful: Building boundaries and connecting with herself. Jamie, I’m really glad you’re here. This is deep, foundational work, and you don’t have to have it all figured out to belong in this space. Warrior Heart family, let’s wrap Jamie in support as she steps into this next chapter. Jamie — what is one boundary your future self is already thanking you for? Welcome, sis 🤍✨

Ngayi Warrior Heart family 🤍🖤✨ Today is not just a welcome. Its a full-circle moment. I want to honour and introduce a young woman who has walked beside me for six years — from the early Kiilalaana days, to becoming one of our OG Tiddas, to now standing as an integral part of the ecosystem and my inner circle. @Shyanna Vandermerwe My niece and biggest gratitude to say this .A staunch, big-hearted Indigenous woman with fire in her belly and softness in her spirit. I have had the privilege of mentoring her, guiding her, watching her rise — and in truth, she has also taught me. About courage. About loyalty. About quiet strength that doesn’t need applause to know its worth. When I asked her what the Warrior Heart means to her, she said: “Trusting you can be safe to try and that you are allowed to want more.” Let that land. Safe to try. Allowed to want more. That is the reclamation. And when I asked what she is committed to pursuing here, she said: “Intake from spaces not just output.” That right there is sovereignty. For so many of us — especially as Indigenous women, daughters, sisters, leaders — we are conditioned to give, to hold, to carry. To be output. But the Warrior Heart is not just about what we produce. It is about what we allow ourselves to receive. Wisdom. Community. Support. Space. Expansion. Shyanna, I am grateful and humbled to witness your becoming. Your power is not loud for attention — it is grounded, deliberate, and ancestral. You are not here by accident. You are here because you are ready. Warrior Heart family, please wrap her in welcome. She is not new to this movement — she helped build its roots. And now she steps into this next chapter not just as a mentee, but as a woman claiming her right to intake, expansion, and more. Shyanna — what are you most excited to grow into this season? Welcome here, bub.

Tidda, This is something I’ve been sitting with deeply. For so long, I thought purpose was something I had to find. Chase. Prove. Earn. Achieve. But what if purpose isn’t something out there waiting for you? What if it’s something you become? What if the shift isn’t discovering your purpose…but deciding to embody it? When you become your own purpose, something powerful happens: You stop waiting to be chosen. You stop outsourcing your direction. You stop measuring your worth by outcomes. You become the seed. The seed doesn’t panic about the forest or bush. It roots itself first. It nourishes itself first. It grows because growth is its nature. This is Warrior Heart work. It’s not about hustle. It's not about proving. It's not about chasing clarity until you feel ready. It’s about choosing to become the source of your own life. From that place: • Leadership feels grounded, not performative. • Self-care becomes non-negotiable, not selfish .• Wealth becomes regenerative, not extractive. • Impact flows from wholeness, not depletion. Becoming your own purpose means you are no longer living in reaction to life. You are creating from alignment. And I want to ask you something: If you stopped searching…and started becoming… What would change? Where are you still waiting to be given permission? What would it look like to root before you rise? Share below what’s coming up for you. Let’s yarn it through.

✨ A check-in for your 2026 journey ✨ Are you still with yourself…or have you slipped back into autopilot and started calling it “too much”? This is your moment to pause. To come back to your body, your breath, and your inner knowing. To notice where you may have drifted — without judgement. 2026 isn’t asking you to push harder. It's asking you to stay present, regulated, and connected to who you are becoming. The Warrior Heart Virtual Call is a guided, Dreaming-led space to do exactly that.A place to slow down, reflect honestly, reconnect with purpose and identity, and be held in community. If you’ve felt stretched, disconnected, or quietly off-track — you’re not failing. You're just being called back to yourself. 🌀 We gather soon🤍 Open to the Warrior Heart community Let’s come back to centre. Let’s get back on track — together. With you, Shantelle Barkindji Warrior | Warrior Heart
