The paradox of transformation
As you embrace the parts of you that are scared & blocked, you fall into greater alignment with where you truthfully are & become more capable of transformation.
Instead of looking for your worth hustling for achievement: when you embrace your feeling of unworthiness, ironically, you see that you are whole. When you make room for stress, ironically, you feel peace. When you welcome loneliness, ironically, you feel connected.
It’s our judgment of the fear that keeps us stuck, not the fear itself. When you aren’t afraid to acknowledge all facets of yourself, they lose their ability to hold you back.

I experienced a radical transformation around the 2008 financial crisis. I was on the wrong side of the economy and went into big debt, with jobs in my field evaporating overnight. I found work here and there, but at frightening low pay. It was a miserable experience, and I sat with fear, anxiety and stress for many years. But, kind of brilliantly, I learned how to NOT spend money. I learned how to enjoy the simple things in life, like reading the paper over a cup of coffee and chatting with good friends. It’s also been refreshing, wearing the badge honour for having survived what felt like a huge failure… and for paying off every cent of that ugly debt, where many people I know declared bankruptcy, or secured consumer proposals (which allows you to pay off like 1/3 of what you actually owe). In summary, the scariest time of my life showed me what I’m made of, and made me stronger. Just sayin’ ; ) Hugs and good luck. XO
Blessings,
