hey, smoked paprika.

i wrote this claiming phrase last week, for myself, and decided to share it with you today:

i release what keeps me locked in a loop of lack + less than

and i wish the same for you

even having done this work for so much of my life, i'm always hitting new levels

it's a practice, not a task

i won’t pretend that it’ll be easy

or promise a rock-free road

you’ll likely stumble, you may even fall

but...

you are worth the effort

you deserve to take time to shift narratives that steal your sovereignty + leach your joy

you are allowed to opt out of the cultural programming that would rather see you suffer instead of shine

and you get to exist in your fullest power + brightest light —

imperfections, shortcomings, mistakes + all

you can stop punishing yourself for messing whatever it is up

you can apologize where you see fit without carrying the weight of the transgression every fresh day

you can stop waiting to do or share your next big thing until you feel like you’ve paid enough penance or feel more worthy

if there’s something quietly gnawing at you, keeping you from stepping up + into whatever next iteration of your self or your work you hunger to be or bring…

doing the work of developing the self-trust that allows you to access + grow your intuitive wisdom can help dim the noise, change the story, and support your next transformation
