Doing this podcast has really helped me open up and come out of my shell. It’s given me the confidence to talk about things I used to hide or feel ashamed of. Through this experience, I’ve learned how powerful it can be to use my voice — to speak honestly about my feelings and the difficult moments life has thrown my way. It’s taught me that sharing your story isn’t a weakness, it’s a way to heal and connect with others.
After dedicating yourself to your goals, you eventually reap the rewards of your hard work. The many long days and nights you spent putting in consistent effort truly prove their worth. You’ve brought to life the vision that first inspired your journey. Personally, I’m proud to share that I’ve officially completed my very first webcomic, which I began in April of this year—and I’d like to reflect on what it took to see it through to the end.
After all that hard work, time, and dedication to bringing forth what you believed in, you absolutely should appreciate what you have done. It's okay to take a moment to recharge and admire your efforts. We too often let society's norms or social media lie to us that we have to consistently be moving onto the next big thing, especially when it took so much essence and energy to manifest your last accomplishment. Allow yourself a moment to embrace what was perceived as naive or foolish before it became present in the natural world.
Once you experience that monumental breakthrough and everything you’ve been striving for finally begins to unfold, your life inevitably changes. People who once overlooked or criticized you may suddenly see you in a new light. Now, more than ever, you need to view those who come around with a sense of clarity and discernment. As success starts to feel more natural, remember that growth takes time—you don’t need to force it. Avoid overextending yourself, and stay true to the boundaries you’ve set with others. Moving forward, it’s essential to trust your intuition and protect what you’ve built.
Once you've completed the necessary steps in your evolution, you begin to break free from your cocoon. This marks a leveling up — a powerful shift that shatters the glass ceiling that once separated you from your destiny. The isolation you needed for your spiritual breakthrough now becomes the catalyst, propelling you into a new timeline aligned with your deepest hopes and desires.
When you're on the path to becoming the person you were destined to be, obstacles are inevitable. Many of these trials exist to draw out the strength, wisdom, and resilience that have always been within you. Though the testing of your faith may feel overwhelming, it can become a powerful force for transformation—if you allow it. Every challenge we face helps refine us into the divine beings we are meant to become. And often, the very breakthrough or open door we've been waiting for is hidden within the trial itself.
When you begin to show up for yourself and release what no longer serves you, transformation becomes evident. You start to understand that growth and progress require an exchange—letting go of what holds you back in order to rise. Once that release takes place, you enter a new season—a cycle of preparation, where you're getting ready to bear fruit and reap a harvest. During this time, it’s crucial to protect what you're nurturing from anything that could hinder or harm its growth."
When you break away from what's considered normal, transformation begins to unfold in many unexpected ways. I see this not just as change, but as evolution. As you set healthy boundaries and recognize that you're capable of exceeding your former limitations, you start to become the person you were always meant to be.
Defiance is often seen as negative when the term is used loosely. However, in certain situations, it requires sheer determination and willpower to overcome overwhelming odds. This is what I call defiance with purpose. It means standing firm against false narratives, accusations, lies, and anything else that seeks to diminish your worth. History is filled with individuals whose groundbreaking ideas in science and technology defied societal norms and reshaped the world. True progress often demands the courage to challenge what is considered normal or temporarily convenient, all in pursuit of a greater, lasting impact.
Adjusting to boundaries—whether newly set by yourself or in place from lingering habits—can sometimes feel awkward. Adopting new habits is often easier than letting go of old ones, especially if you’ve grown accustomed to unhealthy boundaries or patterns of behavior. It’s important to resist the urge to revert, even when maintaining those boundaries feels uncomfortable, particularly if you’re used to being overly emotionally supportive or highly empathic. Staying balanced means honoring your own well-being and carefully limiting who and what has access to you once those boundaries are established.
After re-emerging and doing the inner work to evolve, it's time to grow into the person you've become. Growth can feel awkward at first—especially as you learn to set new boundaries and show up in new ways. Remember to be patient with yourself in this stage. Progress takes time, and there's no need to rush.
Once the seed is planted and takes root—much like an individual doing their inner or shadow work—it begins to re-emerge in a new form. However, even after someone has undergone significant spiritual growth, others may still view them as their former self. It's important to recognize that the seed buried in the soil is no longer what it once was; it has transformed into a budding plant, evolving beyond its original state.
In this next stage, it is essential for the plant to establish deep roots in the ground to ensure its longevity to secure its own future.
After being planted in the soil, the seed enters a phase of isolation and darkness—often referred to as the blackening stage. This marks the first crucial step in a plant’s life, as the environment in which the seed is placed ultimately shapes its growth and outcome.
When a task is initially given to you that is out of the ordinary, you must protect it from anything that would disrupt it.
