When the energy and inspiration are present as a creator, it floods out into expression. Doesn't it? The whole-self, entire-soul resounding YES. It's impossible to contain it.
To contain you. To contain the universe. To put a limit on possibility.
Each exhale serves only as evidence of the abundance of inhales made available as if to say, "Beloved, you are right where you are called to be today."
Your audible words, your intuitive and liberating movement, your closed-lid strokes, each intentionally unlearned and dissonant note, your thoughts pouring out onto pages so fast that there's no time for legible handwriting.
There's no part of you that can be contained by, "Am I doing this right?" "How will this expression of my identity be perceived?"
This is how the universe came to be.
Your identity, your relationships, your magic, your opportunities. The gifted human interactions that afford you meaning and purpose. Your mood. (Dear God, your mood.)
Your effortless untethering from the expectations of others.
You're FREE.
But when the Muse is gone, your natural reaction is to apply force. Demand of it. Shame it, beg it, negotiate with it.
Where did you go? Was it something I've done?
You feel your energy slip from empowered flow and expansiveness into woundedness into an untrusting container imposing its will in order to stay safe and rewarded.
And you become still.
All with good intention, of course. But it's a compensatory compulsion rooted in your repressed not-enoughness and taking overt responsibility for things outside of your control. It's a dis-ease about losing your sense of personal power and linearity.
Disequilibrium.

/ Disequilibrium /
Even to the wild heart, the not-knowing can be disorienting. (Because what does that say about you?) What you need to understand is that disequilibrium is where all learning and integration take place.
Your human discomfort with the liminal space is natural. But your reaction to it is a choice.
What it means about your life is also a CHOICE.
Disequilibrium is a transmutative force.
It is the necessary life cycle by which we were created and create. All-things-new is only possible because the former has passed away.
When you devote your life to making peace with its role, you'll see that how you express yourself - in the unknowing and uncertain - transforms who you were before you entered The Abyss into who you are called to be.
Over and over and over.
Is your Muse still by your side, or are you struggling to feel her presence? Does she flow effortlessly, or has she slipped into the background, leaving you to question what’s next?
I’d love to hear where you're at — let me know in the comments below!
🌪️ Many visionaries reach a point where they’ve followed the path to success on others’ terms but feel disconnected from their core essence and estranged from their next-level purpose. It’s easy to find yourself stuck in worn-out patterns that have been recycled one too many times, leaving you burned out or bored.
When we’re disconnected from our true purpose and living out of alignment with our authentic selves, it can feel like the muse has abandoned us. '
But here’s the truth: you are the muse.
You are the source of your creativity and the purveyor of your purpose.
You don’t need to chase inspiration.
⚡️ What sparks your energy and makes you come alive?
The key to success is embracing who you are — who you’ve always been — on your own terms. This is where success meets soul.
xoxo.
