Warrior Heart Reflection: Slow is Trust. Slow is Sovereign. šŸ–¤
šŸ–¤
A sacred share + small win
To my Warrior Heart community,
this is me — coming back with a truth that’s tender, and a win that’s small… but mighty.
Over the past season, I’ve stopped and started more times than I can count.
I got sick. I spiraled. I numbed.
Each time I pulled away — from the work, from this space, from myself — I felt the weight of shame.
That old belief that if I wasn’t showing up perfectly, I shouldn’t show up at all.
But the truth is — I was learning something deeper.
That slow is not stuck.
That slow is trust.
That slow is sacred.
In martial arts, there’s a saying:
ā€œSlow is smooth. Smooth is fast.ā€
It teaches us that slowing down helps us move with intention, precision, and grace.
It gives us space to meet ourselves where we are — not where we think we should be.
And as a Barkindji and Ngiyampaa woman, I’ve been remembering that our time is not linear.
It is circular.
Ancestral.
It flows with the rhythms of Country, ceremony, and Spirit — not productivity charts or performance timelines.
✨ So today, I celebrate this:
One new member joined our Warrior Heart community.
Just one.
But this one soul arrived not because I launched big or pushed hard…
They arrived because I was brave enough to begin again.
To honour a pace that’s seeded in trust, truth, and cultural alignment.
This small win holds big meaning —
Because it represents everything I’ve been reclaiming:
My rhythm.
My capacity.
My relationship with self.
My commitment to building something that doesn't cost my wellness or sovereignty.
So here I am, not sprinting — but walking with purpose.
Not launching loudly — but living truthfully.
Not trying to ā€œcome back.ā€
But making a ceremonial return — grounded in who I am, and who I’m becoming.
šŸ–¤ To those still here: thank you for holding this space.
šŸ–¤ To those arriving now: welcome — you are seen.
šŸ–¤ To those walking your own Warrior Heart journey:
You don’t have to rush.
You just have to keep returning to yourself.
Because sometimes the smallest wins carry the biggest medicine.
—
Reflection for our circle:
What small win are you celebrating today — even if it’s just showing up?
Drop a word, an emoji, or a whisper of your truth below šŸŒ±šŸ’¬
Let’s honour our pace, our power, and our path.
