When I started my business as a life coach, it was tempting to focus on helping people find their dream job or relationship. After all, these were things I had manifested for myself, and things that many people are after. Something felt off about it though, and I didn't truly find myself as a coach until I began prioritizing 𝐯𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲.
I began to ask myself questions-
What was the area of my life that caused me the most pain?
The area of my life I had kept most private, afraid to even show the slightest bit of weakness?
Where had I done the most healing?
What has been my greatest miracle?
This was the last piece to the puzzle. I learned to manifest a whole lot of other amazing things in my life before I learned how to heal my body image, but ultimately it was doing the work that I resisted most that shifted everything around me.
The only thing scarier to me than going public with my own body image struggles, was the idea that other women may not overcome their struggles the way I did if I didn't share my story. I pictured women hiding behind the same feelings of guilt and shame that suffocated me for over a decade, and I knew what gifts I needed to share, regardless of how scary it felt to share them.
This week invited me to write about what I think is "the real deal".
Recognizing the impact your vulnerability can have on the world, and then doing something about it...to me, it doesn't get much more real than that.
