Stop trying to be understood.
Stop reaching for a label so the room can relax about who you are. Stop introducing yourself as a single, fixed idea just to remain recognisable.
Because the version of “understanding” most of us were trained to value is built on continuity.
Stay the same, stay familiar, stay easy to place... and in return you are acknowledged, approved of, located. The label becomes the shorthand for that agreement.
One word, and everyone feels oriented.
Labels are the filing system for that agreement.
I’ve been largely out of view, moving between clinics, neck deep in the final pull of the new book, and building a business that sits well outside the healing world.. (but as always Spirit is a business partner) and in the middle of all that came a recognition that feels less like a new idea and more like something ancient stretching its legs.
How quickly we reach for a title so the room can relax.
Healer. Writer. Coach. Publisher.
Beautiful words and yes, useful doors. But none of them is capable of containing a living being.
Because every time we name ourselves in a fixed way, we agree, quietly and politely, to hold our shape so other people can keep their orientation.
And I have never been built for that.
The only thing that has ever felt true from the very beginning is that I am infinite possibilities.
Not one path or function. And absolutely not one identity that needs to stay consistent so it can be understood.
Which is why the publishing company is called Universes In My Head.
It is a statement of reality for all of us.
We are not a single stream. We are not one clean, definable thing. We are vast, layered, contradictory, creative, cosmic in scale with whole inner worlds moving at once.
Trying to compress that into a word has always felt like asking the ocean to introduce itself as a glass of water.
So this isn’t an update about being busy.
The clinic is still here and yes Tauranga I am on my way shortly.
The book is still asking for time. The new business is real and very alive. Same source, but different expressions.
If there’s a purpose to this post, it’s this:
Notice where you keep using a word for yourself that made sense five years ago and no longer contains the life you’re living now.
Notice how often you repeat it so other people don’t have to adjust.
And then sit with the possibility that you were never designed to fit inside a description.
You are the universe having a human experience.
Of course there is more than one thing moving through you.
I am infinite possibilities.
Love to you perfect Souls
