The pattern that’s keeping you stuck isn’t your fault — but it is your responsibility.

In this episode, I share the moment everything shifted for me. Specifically, the moment I stopped blaming my life, my partner, and the world around me… and surrendered to the path of self-authorship instead.

We explore:

• How we unconsciously avoid the parts of ourselves that most need witnessing

• Why requesting vulnerability and openness doesn't work — and what to do instead

• The circle experience that cracked open my inner world and began my real transformation

• How emotional self-responsibility opens the door to deep presence and power

• A powerful reframe that can help you lead your life from the inside out

And I offer a guided self-inquiry practice through these reflection questions, including:

• What inside of me do I struggle to witness?
• What does this part of me long to express?
• What do I struggle to accept is part of me?
• What would it be like to hold that part?

• How can I take full responsibility for learning about and leading all of what’s inside me?
• How can I own the choices that have gotten me here?
• What would it look like to own them with love AND an intention to grow?
• How can I hold all that’s in me with curiosity, honesty, and loving awareness?
• What does that look like in this moment?
