WHAT IF you are just one question away from the answer you've been waiting for?

Have you ever had someone sit across from you and really listen? To the point that you kept looking away because it was a bit uncomfortable?

Why is it so hard for us to have someone see us?

Well, it’s because we’ve been trained to not talk to strangers from a very early age. We’ve been told that we shouldn’t say something unless it’s fully thought through. And we’ve learned that it’s better to NOT have attention on us because everything could blow up in our face if people don’t like us.

The whole internet is full of proof that being seen can be a negative experience.

I’ve had people tell me my head is distracting in videos or that they hate my hairstyle. I’ve had trolls tell me I look a lot older than I am. And I’ve been the target of some really awful comments from people with profiles with “live love laugh” and “Jesus girl” in them.

Regardless, I haven’t stopped sharing my face, my head, or my beliefs with the internet. Why? Because the people who say shitty things are often the same people who say shitty things to themselves in their own mirror.

That said, we have years and loads of proof that we should stay quiet or small or wait until we’ve perfected ourselves and/or our message.

What if we had a place to learn how to say what needs to be said? ​
What if we had a safe space to get feedback or ideas?
What if we knew we could ask a “dumb” question and find out that it was actually great?
What if we stopped worrying about how we said or asked something?

I sit with people for a living.
I ask questions for a living.
I listen to stories for a living.
I sit with beautiful people who do magical work–for a living.
​
It’s literally my job to listen to what is not being said.
To find the truth beneath what’s being shared.
To know who to ask when I don’t know the answer.
To help people find the answers within themselves.

I see you, beautiful soul.
I see you desiring community.
I see you unbecoming what the world told you to be.
I see you craving connection with others on the growth path.
I see you shifting your perspective.
I see you doing a lot of this alone.
I see you wanting to change the conversation.
I see you inspiring others, yet aching for inspiration yourself.

WHAT IF you are just one question away from the answer you've been waiting for?

At a women’s retreat I was attending last weekend, I learned a magical way of hosting a thing called Circles. At their core, Circles are ancient ways of being with each other. They’re about truly being with other people in whatever they’re going through.

When Dan & I launched our paid community, The Brilliant Rebellion, we had numerous people ask “can I just try it before I commit to it?” Our answer was “no, because it’s set up to be a safe space for those committed to being in conscious community.”

Yet as we hosted our Soul Mixers with fabulous content and supportive conversations, we saw a need for another kind of community-building: Soul Circles. And decided we'd try this as a way for people to “try before they buy" for a short amount of time.

Soul Circles would provide value to our Rebels AND allow them to invite friends/colleagues to join us without requiring commitment.

So, for the next three months, The Brilliant Rebellion is going to host Soul Circles that are free and open to the public. (Yes, that means you can come, even if you're not a Brilliant Rebel with zero pressure to become one) All you have to do is hop into our free community space to be in the know of when they'll be hosted.

Soul Circles will be held on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 12noon ET (9am PT / 5pm UK) and you’re welcome to bring a friend.

You'll be able to share yourself, your needs, your requests for support, your heart, and your soul connection with others who want to hold space for you (and who may have been where you are.) And you won’t have to worry about whether your share is perfect or if you’ll be trolled.

If you’re willing to show up with a question or share that supports your growth, our community would love to support you in listening, sharing our own experiences, or asking questions for you to ponder.

This isn’t about giving you advice, telling you what to do, or making you feel weird about asking or sharing. This is about being seen, loved, and heard.

I’ll ask again: WHAT IF you are just one question away from the answer you've been waiting for?

I love you, beautiful soul. And I'm here for your highest & best.
xoxo
