Episode 254: Choosing Yourself First When Everything Is Shifting, With Maggie

What happens when the life you've built no longer fits the woman you're becoming? Maggie joins us today on the precipice of one of the biggest decisions of her life: leaving her marriage of nearly twenty years. She loves her husband, she honors the life they've created together, and yet she knows, deep in her bones, that they are no longer matched for her next chapter. What unfolds in our time together is a conversation about what it really means to choose yourself first; not from selfishness, but from devotion. As we go deeper, we explore the energetic equation of unplugging from the institution of marriage and what it looks like to set your own foundation before building something new with someone else. Maggie is feeling the pull toward a new relationship, toward being held and nourished and loved in a way that has been absent for a long time. And rather than making that wrong, we hold space for both truths: the desire for connection and the invitation to root into who she is on her own two feet. We talk about lily pads and stepping stones, about managing your energy as you cross from one chapter to the next, and about the difference between healing and building your energetic foundation. This episode is a beautiful reminder that the things in our lives that contract our soul are being dragged to the surface right now… and if we are willing to turn towards them, to nurture these places, to harvest the goodness from them, we will change our lives in ways that surprise and delight us. As you listen to Maggie's reading, I invite you to consider: Where are you staying plugged into something that no longer serves you? What would it feel like to set your own foundation, to become your own safety net, and to let the next relationship be the whipped cream and the cherry on top?

This was not always a conscious endeavor for me, yet she pulled at my heart and led me on adventures far and wide and wild. She has taught me to live by spirals and wheels and cycles. To live each day as a ritual, knowing that I am the source of my life. Everything comes FROM me and that my obstacles are actually the path to living an even greater and wilder existence. She has shown me that true LEADERS rally for and with life, not against it. So, now I live in devotion to a higher standard of ALIVENESS for us all.   You can find more resources at the links below…   Website: http://www.SarahNoble.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/awakened.embodied.empowered/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/awakened.embodied.empowered Substack: https://snoble.substack.com/ Email: [email protected]
