As I navigate my move and divorce, I'm reminded of something that I've come back to over and over:

​

Not everyone will understand. And that's okay.

​

If all humanity operated from our highest, most soulful selves - this (and other big decisions) would be a non-issue.

​

We'd high five and say "cool! I can't wait to see what you learn about yourself trying that out!"

​

However - the human experience has been designed around fear-based belief systems and emotional pain that separate us from our soulful selves.

​

That causes most people see the world through the lens of their pain.

​

When you make a move that pushes against someone's pain boundary, they feel uncomfortable.

​

And most often, they blame you. Tell you that you've changed, or that your ideas won't work.

​

But that's not their true selves. It's their pain talking.

​

I've had to remember this as I navigate the biggest transition I've ever gone through.

​

To see others through the lens of compassion, while staying strong enough to follow my truth.

​

Whatever is on your heart - not everyone will understand it.

​

That doesn't mean your idea is wrong. It just means they can't see your vision beyond their pain.

​

Which is okay. The vision is yours to carry forward, not theirs.

​

This week, if you have something you've been hesitating to take a step toward, may you find the courage to do one thing toward making it a reality.

​

Because the people you were born to serve are waiting for you.

​

✉️ PS: if you could use someone in your corner that does believe in your vision and understands the energetics behind making it a reality, I invite you to learn more about working with me. I'd be honored to be in your corner and help you make the impact that's calling you!

"My experience with Andrea surpassed my expectations! She took the time to understand where I was at, what I was struggling with, and where I wanted to be. Through our coaching sessions she was able to tap into different thought patterns and beliefs that were holding me back and not allowing me to move forward. She gave me tactical and actionable tools to use as these thought patterns come up so I can move through them. Working with Andrea gave me the confidence to go after the life I want to be living and show up in this world the way I was meant to!" Monica
