09 - The Myth of Safety

There comes a moment in the soul’s journey when the beliefs we were handed no longer fit the life we’re here to live. In this episode, I explore the mitote - the collective dream described by Don Miguel Ruiz - and how our internalized childhood beliefs were never truly chosen, but rather absorbed to keep us safe, loved, and accepted. But what happens when we begin to choose new beliefs - ones that are truly ours, rooted in our truth, our magic, and our medicine? What happens when these liberated beliefs challenge the internal “dream of the people”? Often, it feels unsafe. Dysregulating. Unsettling to the nervous system. And that’s where many of us turn back. But what if the discomfort is actually the signpost? What if “safety” isn’t always the best guide? In this conversation, we explore the tension between nervous system regulation and soul liberation, the cost of staying small for safety, and the importance of building resilience as we choose to walk the path of free belief. This episode is a love note to the brave hearts who are choosing truth - even when it shakes the system.
