329 My Ego Called Me "Useless." My Soul Said Follow Me
from I'm Perfectly Divine Podcast · host Michelle Bersell
Many of us are in a space where we are being forged through challenge to remember the truth, love, and power that we are — and that ain't easy, is it?! But here's what I've found: there is a freedom that awaits us on the other side of the very things our ego most wants us to hide. That freedom doesn't show up when we feel powerful. It shows up when we feel small. Because when life strips away the illusion of control, what remains is either fear — or something far more powerful: a knowing that lives below thought, below strategy, below the ego's relentless need to fix and prove. That's why it felt important to share a recent trigger and exactly what unfolded when my ego quietly whispered "you're useless." Not because we're meant to get over our egos, but because we can use its very strategies to deepen our inner knowing of who we truly are.What you'll walk away thinking about:Why the moment your ego says run is the exact moment worth staying withWhat it means to lead from your heart when your mind is screaming for answers — and why one will always outlast the otherHow spiritual depth and human need aren't opposites to be balanced, but a wholeness to be honoredWhy devotion to something that looks "useless" on the outside may be your most powerful act of resistance right nowThe proof of the power that has been within you all alongMany of us are in a time of refinement — not punishment, not failure, but a deliberate and loving shaping of what we are here to bring forward. The triggers, the whispers, the years that don't go as planned — none of it is evidence that you are behind. It is the necessary preparation that allows us to fully and freely embody all that we are. Your heart has never stopped knowing the way. And your remembrance isn't just for you — it becomes the bridge that helps others remember too. When something feels stripped away, follow those ego threads with compassion, empowerment, and love. They will always lead you home.
