Episode 262: Stepping Across the Line When Your Soul Is Calling, With Melissa

Melissa is a legal aid lawyer, a nonprofit leader, a mother of two young boys, and a lifelong spiritual seeker. She comes to us today standing at a line drawn in the sand. On one side is the credible, analytical, proven life she's built over fifteen years. On the other is a calling she can no longer ignore: to create a spiritually-focused business that bridges the world of the woo with the grounded, everyday lives of caregivers and mothers. Her soul has gone from tapping gently to rapping loudly on the door. And what's keeping her from stepping across? The fear of exile. The fear that the people she loves most will look at her and think she's lost her mind. We explore the power of projection. How the voices we're most afraid to hear from others are often the very ones already running inside us. As long as Mel believes she might be a little crazy for wanting this, she's going to have a hard time launching anything. So this is where her golden nugget lives. We talk about glide paths and bridges, about how the spirit of a business doesn't need ink on paper to be real, and about bringing wholehearted devotion to something even before it has a name. You don't have to burn it all down in the first step. But you do have to explore like you mean it. The old life dies in devotion to the new one that is being birthed, and you cannot escape that process. Some people will come with you and some people will not. And these places (safety, exile, the fear of being crazy)... they are not obstacles to overcome. They are your allies. They are the very things you need to get you to the next step, and what you learn from them will become rich nourishment for others. As you listen today, I invite you to ask yourself: What line in the sand are you standing at? And what would it look like to stop waiting for the bungee cord to catch you and instead jump because you know you can fly?

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]
