What If Change Isn’t Scary, but Sacred?
Funny how just two letters shifts scary into sacred.
That’s the power of perspective.
For so many women I work with, change feels terrifying.
Not because they aren’t capable- but because somewhere along the way, they were taught to fear the unknown. To stay small. To stay safe. To avoid discomfort at all costs.
But what if we’ve been looking at it all wrong?
What if change -the messy, uncertain, uncomfortable kind - isn’t something to fear…
What if it’s a sacred invitation?
An invitation to return home to yourself.
To make a different choice.
To rise.
The Forgotten Meaning of Sacrifice
This is where I love to share one of my favourite truths:
The original meaning of the word sacrifice is “to make sacred.”
Not to lose. Not to give up. Not to suffer.
To make sacred.
So what if the next time life feels shaky, or the next step feels hard, or you find yourself wanting to run-
You paused and asked:
How can I make this sacred?
How can I honour what matters right now?
How can I stay with myself instead of abandoning what I know is true?
How can I breathe into this moment instead of resisting it?
From Fear to Reclamation: The Path to Rising
Discomfort doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
It’s often a sign you’re breaking free from the cage of old conditioning.
A signal that you’re ready to reclaim something powerful.
Because you weren’t born to shrink.
You weren’t made to be small, silent, or stuck.
You were made to evolve. To grow.
To rise- again and again.
And yes, rising takes courage.
But courage doesn’t mean you’re not scared.
It means you show up anyway - with shaking hands, a soft heart, and the fierce knowing that you are worthy of more.
This is the work I hold space for every day - helping women like you turn fear into sacred fuel.
Guiding you back to your voice, your vitality, your vision.
Not with cookie-cutter advice, but with soul-deep connection, powerful questions, and a safe place to land.
