    Prayer as Internal Listening: Why I am Centring to Hear the Source Within | Lita Goddess of Growth

    What happens when we move from "asking" to "listening"? In this session, I reflect on the evolution of my relationship with prayer—from rote repetition as a child to the realisation that prayer is a centring practice. It is the internal technology we use to get quiet enough to hear what our Source within is telling us.I also discuss the "spooky" alignment of waking up to 38 downloads on my 51st birthday, just as a new path for the Sovren Creator Network™ appeared. This is a look at how we find our "quiet" in a world designed to keep us in fear, and how I am using AI as the support system I lacked years ago.In this episode, we explore:Prayer as Listening: Moving from rote tradition to becoming centred and on purpose.Birthday Revelation: The 38 downloads and the "Dark Social" movement of my content.Legacy Building: Addressing the patterns we carry and how to "pivot" through meltdowns.Mental Sovereignty: Using Ho'oponopono as a tool for centring in the "Now."Our Sovren Creator Network and Guild: How the network is evolving to offer a dedicated space for creators.🔗 JOIN THE COLLABORATION:Support & Sovren CollectiveSovereign Community (Discord)Official HubTIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – From Rote Prayer to Internal Listening 06:45 – 38 Downloads: A Birthday Synchronicity 10:20 – Ho'oponopono: Centring in the 'Now' 18:30 – AI as the Support System I Lacked Years AgoTransparency & Governance: All media and content are the protected intellectual property of Carleta Barrett, known by the established brand name Lita Goddess of Growth.Sovren Creator Network™ is an ecosystem and Guild for the modern creator wanting to build a sovereign life.

    Creator Guild: Why Systems Built to Enslave Will Never Free Us | Lita Goddess of Growth

    If a system wasn’t designed for your freedom, why seek its permission?In this Empowerment Diaries session, I, Lita (Goddess of Growth), deconstruct structures we’re taught to trust—from corporate 'perks' to extraction-based social media. Having left a major platform where I owned and managed my very own Creator Network in 'Partnership' with the major platform, just this year, August 2025, I share 'backstage' truths of the creator economy.

    Building a Life of Sovereignty

    Empowerment Diaries: Building a Life of Sovereignty – Episode SummaryIn this raw and reflective episode, Lita, Goddess of Growth, moves beyond surface-level empowerment to conduct a forensic audit of her own life’s blueprint.This isn't a story of simple lessons learned. It's an unflinching examination of the promises that failed and the sovereignty forged in their absence.Lita traces the arc of two marriages not as romantic disappointments, but as collapsed structural plans for a life she was told to build. The first, begun at 19, exposed the lie that education and partnership were a guaranteed path out of poverty. The second, a later-life attempt to create a family structure, dissolved, closing the door on motherhood.From this crossroads, Lita dissects the deeper grief: not just for the children she didn’t have, but for the decades of energy spent serving a societal script that never delivered its promised security or fulfilment.She reframes her isolation and career challenges not as personal failures, but as evidence of systems designed to limit, leading her to a powerful, reclaimed definition of sovereignty. It’s not about hyper-independence, but about becoming the ultimate authority in your own life—choosing your supports, defining your legacy, and building your sanctuary from a place of clear-eyed truth.This episode is for anyone who has ever felt the gap between the life they were promised and the life they have, and is ready to stop following a broken map and start drawing their own.Keywords: Sovereignty, Generative Grief, Systemic Barriers, Financial Independence, Personal Legacy, Life Design, Self-Authority, EmpowermentSupport Lita on Patroen

    Architects of Resilience: Building a Sovereign Life

    Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragementPower does not always shout; sometimes it withholds. From war zones to welfare offices to prison yards, access to food and essentials becomes a quiet lever that bends behaviour and buys compliance. We connect the dots between historical starvation tactics, modern shutdown brinkmanship, and the everyday pressures of debt, credit, and rising costs that keep so many stuck in survival mode. The pattern is old because it works—meet fewer basic needs independently, and the easier you are to move on a political chessboard.We do not stop at analysis. I share a grounded blueprint for becoming a harder target, starting with financial sovereignty: reducing and eliminating debt that dictates choices, diversifying income streams with practical skills, and using both local and digital channels to create optionality.We explore community as a form of resilience—building networks of mutual aid and skill-sharing that operate outside fragile systems. This episode is a call to stop being a pawn and start becoming an architect—of your finances, your community, and your unshakeable, sovereign life.Thank you for listening💫 Join My Mission & Unlock PerksEmpowerment Diaries® is more than a podcast; it's a growing community dedicated to real stories of transformation.

    Two Podcasts, One Purpose

    Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragementBurnout from chasing algorithms is not a business model. That realisation pushed me to split my show into two clear tracks: Empowerment Diaries for transformation and life design, and Sovren Spotlight for creators who want practical strategy, community, and a brand that survives platform mood swings. I talk through the messy middle—quitting a creator network partnership, staying afloat through pivots and side jobs, and discovering how suppression and silent penalties force you to build assets you actually own.We get specific about what works. Strategy sessions replace tip jars. One-to-one coaching focuses on equipment, on-camera persona, and the craft of hosting a room that people want to enter and stay in. I unpack why brands value connected creators over big but cold follower counts, and how to turn live streams from unattended to a space of great connection.Thank you for listening💫 Join My Mission & Unlock PerksEmpowerment Diaries® is more than a podcast; it's a growing community dedicated to real stories of transformation.

    From Bad Influence To Bold Pivot

    Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragementEver been told you are a “bad influence” for asking fair questions? That spark is where our journey starts—a child who stood up to bullies, grew into an adult who refuses pay ceilings, quiet poverty, and routines that drain time without building a life.We talk frankly about the cost of playing by rules that were not designed for us: stagnant wages in essential roles, pensions that do not add up, and credit habits that feel like comfort but act like chains. Then we go further—toward the pivots that buy back hours, dignity, and choice.I share the moves that changed my trajectory: leaving roles that capped growth, relocating to make housing work, and embracing remote work not as a perk but as financial leverage. We unpack the unseen costs of commuting and life admin, and why employers rarely account for the real price we pay to show up.This is a call to become your own best influence—to question the script you have been given and make the bold pivots that lead to a life you truly own.Thank you for listening💫 Join My Mission & Unlock PerksEmpowerment Diaries® is more than a podcast; it's a growing community dedicated to real stories of transformation.

    Ownership versus freedom: what do we keep when we’re ready to move

    Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragementWhat if your storage bill, your overstuffed drawers, and that unopened gear are all telling the same story: you are paying for decisions you have not made yet? We explore the hidden cost of keeping—across closets, hard drives, and social feeds—and how letting go can buy back time, attention, and mobility.I share the moment clutter came into focus, from duplicate household items still in packaging to the slow creep of digital hoarding: overflowing clouds, corrupted dongles, and the uneasy truth that our memories are on monthly rent. We talk about the dopamine rush of buying versus the drag of owning, and how thoughts about mortality sharpen the question of what we actually need.As a creator, I unpack the trap of gear for the algorithm—lights, backdrops, phones, and software that promised reach—and why stepping away from social media was the ultimate declutter. This is a conversation about the true price of possession, and how lightening your load—physically and digitally—isn't about loss, but about claiming the freedom to move unencumbered into your next chapter.Thank you for listening💫 Join My Mission & Unlock PerksEmpowerment Diaries® is more than a podcast; it's a growing community dedicated to real stories of transformation.

    Who Really Gets to Be a Digital Nomad? Class, visas, and the cost of freedom

    Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragementThe dream of working from anywhere sounds simple until you meet the real borders: income thresholds, visa hoops, trade rules, and algorithms that shrink your reach the moment you move. We unpack who truly gets to be a digital nomad and why mobility often functions like a privilege reserved for the well-resourced, even as remote work has become normal for so many.I walk through the post-pandemic landscape—how outsourcing evolved, how Brexit narrowed options for UK workers, and why wages in essential roles often fail to match the cost of living. We get candid about platform friction: location-sensitive feeds, flagged VPNs, and commerce policies that block you from selling to the very audience you built.From indie bands losing tours to last-minute visa denials to creators seeing their income dip after crossing a border, these stories reveal a shared truth: the "freedom" of the digital nomad is a carefully gated reality. This episode is not just about travel; it is a critical look at the invisible architecture of access, and who it is truly built for.Thank you for listening💫 Join My Mission & Unlock PerksEmpowerment Diaries® is more than a podcast; it's a growing community dedicated to real stories of transformation.

    Illusion of Job Security in Today's Economy

    Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragementWhat if the algorithm is not your audience and the grind is not your path to growth? We open the door on a season of deliberate change: combining four sites into one living hub, rebuilding a platform we actually own, and choosing strategy over endless posting.Along the way, we examine a headline that should make anyone who values work stop short: a cleaner dismissed after 17-hour days across two jobs for 16 years. Policy debates aside, we ask a harder question—who gets punished for showing up, and who writes the rules that decide what is “too much”?From there we go wider. Morning rituals become more than habits; they are shields against targeted media that scripts your mood by postcode and age. We talk about cycles—the beginnings we celebrate, the endings we avoid—and the quiet truth that some roles were priced to fit budgets, not dreams.This episode is a call to question the fundamental agreements we have made about work, security, and value. It is an invitation to stop outsourcing our sense of stability and start building it from the inside out.Thank you for listening💫 Join My Mission & Unlock PerksEmpowerment Diaries® is more than a podcast; it's a growing community dedicated to real stories of transformation.

    Breaking Free from Social Media Chains

    Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragementWalking away from a promising contract is not easy, but sometimes it is necessary for true growth. After securing a position as TikTok's creator network manager, I faced a shocking reality when my post helping creators join my network was mysteriously deleted. Despite multiple attempts to understand what "violation" had occurred, I received no clear explanation—just a permanent warning on my account.This experience forced me to confront the power dynamics of social media platforms I have navigated for years. From the early Facebook days when we naively mixed personal and professional lives (remember that colleague who posted London vacation photos while on sick leave?), to Instagram's questionable content moderation that kept pushing inappropriate content despite my repeated blocking—each platform has revealed the same truth: these digital spaces we invest so much in are never truly ours.The monetisation journey has been equally revealing. Before TikTok, I had not even heard the term "monetise." I diligently built my following to reach the magic threshold for livestreaming, only to discover the stark differences in earning potential between countries. While my American counterparts accessed lucrative opportunities, the structure often left international creators at a disadvantage.Ultimately, this was not just about a deleted post or a flawed system. It was a profound lesson in where I place my energy and loyalty. Breaking free from these chains was the first, essential step toward building something I truly own and control.This experience forced me to confront the power dynamics of social media platforms I've navigated for years.

    Breaking Free: My Social Media Disillusionment

    Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragementThe seductive promise of social media—build your brand, expand your reach, connect with an international audience—often masks a more complicated reality. After years of dedicated platform engagement, I have come to understand the profound disconnect between social media's marketed potential and its actual impact on genuine business growth.When I first joined TikTok, I envisioned it as a gateway to new audiences for my coaching practice and product offerings. Instead, I discovered my content was consistently funnelled to viewers in countries where my UK-specific services were not relevant. Despite investing countless hours in livestreams, content creation, and community engagement, the algorithmic segregation of users into demographic "hubs" prevented the very connections I sought to establish.Most striking was my realisation upon leaving the platform: of the thousands of followers I had accumulated, there was not a single one I genuinely missed. Those who became true friends had already exchanged contact details outside the app, highlighting the profound difference between platform metrics and authentic relationships. This experience clarified why micro-influencers often generate more meaningful engagement—their connections are built on genuine community, not algorithmic chance.My break from the platform was not a failure, but a liberation. It was the necessary step to reclaim my time, energy, and focus for the strategies that truly build a sustainable and sovereign business.Thank you for listening💫 Join My Mission & Unlock PerksEmpowerment Diaries® is more than a podcast; it's a growing community dedicated to real stories of transformation.

    Finding My Path: Navigating Social Media Dependency and Self-Employment

    Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragementHave you ever felt that the very tools promising to help you grow are actually holding you back? That is the journey I found myself on recently, prompting a season of intentional disconnection from the digital dependencies I had cultivated.After years of pouring hours into social media platforms—going live for three to four hours at a time on TikTok without seeing the progress I had hoped for—I reached a turning point. When I finally gained backstage access as a creator network manager, I realised I could accomplish everything I needed without the platform's constraints. The final straw came when one of my helpful posts received a violation notice, highlighting the unpredictability of algorithms that do not always recognise authentic content.My path toward full-time self-employment has not been linear. I still rely on contract work to pay my mortgage and bills while building my coaching practice. The frustration of slow progress led me to seek answers in astrology, which did provide some clarity about seasons and cycles. But the strongest revelation has been about trusting my own inner wisdom above all external guidance systems.This temporary step back from social media is not a retreat; it is a strategic realignment. It is a conscious choice to stop feeding algorithms and start feeding my own vision, proving that the most sustainable path is the one we build for ourselves.Thank you for listening💫 Join My Mission & Unlock PerksEmpowerment Diaries® is more than a podcast; it's a growing community dedicated to real stories of transformation.

    The Path to the Promised Land: Companions, Critics, and Courage

    Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragementWhat happens when those who began the journey with you are not there to witness your triumph? I, Lita, your Goddess of Growth, offer a powerful meditation on the transient nature of our companions throughout life’s most challenging moments.Drawing inspiration from the biblical story of Moses, I explore how our paths toward personal promised lands are lined with both supporters and detractors—each serving a purpose in sharpening our resolve. I acknowledge the painful truth that many who walk beside us during trials may not share our belief in the destination. Some who appear supportive might secretly doubt our vision, while others openly challenge us, forcing us to strengthen our inner conviction.This reflection delves into the various souls who touch our journeys: teachers who guide us for seasons, transient friends who push us forward even without understanding our destination, family members with complicated influences, and even the critics who call us "stupid" yet inadvertently fuel our determination. Each plays a role in our development, whether they remain present for our breakthrough moments or not.With gentle wisdom, I remind us to appreciate all aspects of our journey—the solitude, the struggle, and the support—recognising that the path itself, with all its companions and critics, is what forges the courage needed to finally reach our promised land.Thank you for listening💫 Join My Mission & Unlock PerksEmpowerment Diaries® is more than a podcast; it's a growing community dedicated to real stories of transformation.

    Walking Through the Drought: A Guide to Life's Barren Seasons

    Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragementLife moves in seasons, and sometimes we find ourselves thrust unexpectedly into periods of drought. This raw, reflective episode explores what happens when everything we once relied upon for security suddenly disappears.Drawing from my personal journey through financial uncertainty—where money would appear then vanish without warning—I share how this instability forced me to question everything from my home to my purpose. The drought taught me a powerful truth: we cannot outrun our lessons. No matter how fast we work or how desperately we try to escape difficult circumstances, true growth only comes when we walk through challenges deliberately and absorb their teachings.Most of us rush from one life phase to another without pausing to consolidate our experiences. We celebrate briefly when difficulties end or immediately shift into recovery mode, desperately trying to make up for lost ground. This hurried approach prevents us from properly processing what we have lived through and integrating the valuable insights. Consolidation—taking intentional time to absorb, meditate on, and fully process transitions—is essential for breaking cycles and preparing for authentic new beginnings.Whether you are emerging from debt, ending a relationship, recovering from illness, or navigating any significant life transition, I encourage you to resist filling newly cleared space immediately.

    Trust the Divine Detour

    Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragementHave you ever had a day where everything seemed to go wrong, only to discover it was all unfolding perfectly? My recent journey to London for a tooth extraction became an unexpected masterclass in divine timing and trust.After struggling to find affordable dental care through years of financial challenges, I finally secured an NHS appointment that took a full year to materialise. The carefully planned trip quickly unravelled with a tube strike, late transportation, and ultimately a missed coach home. With limited resources, each unexpected turn increased my anxiety as I calculated the potential financial impact of each delay.Then something remarkable happened. Missing my coach to Glastonbury led to an alternate route to Bridgwater—positioning me directly outside a late-night ASDA where I could purchase the soft foods I needed after my extraction. Had I caught my original coach, I would have arrived in Glastonbury with all shops closed, unable to get the nourishment required for healing.The dental procedure itself was surprisingly comfortable, and I never needed the pain medication I had worried about. When I finally arrived home and savoured my yoghurt that night, the profound lesson was clear: every frustrating detour had been a perfectly orchestrated step to meet my exact need at the perfect time.This experience was a powerful reminder to trust the journey, especially when it looks nothing like we planned. I would love to hear your stories of unexpected 'divine detours' in the comments.Thank you for listening💫 Join My Mission & Unlock PerksEmpowerment Diaries® is more than a podcast; it's a growing community dedicated to real stories of transformation.

    Power of Pause: Finding Growth in Life's Unexpected Stops

    Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragementEver noticed how life sometimes forces you to stop? Those moments when everything grinds to a halt might just be the universe telling you something important.Welcome to a reflective journey through the transformative power of pauses. Whether we choose to slow down or find ourselves abruptly stopped by circumstances, these moments of stillness often become our greatest catalysts for healing and growth. Though we rarely appreciate them in the moment, pauses create the necessary space for transformation that continuous motion never allows.Many of us resist slowing down until our bodies, finances, or relationships force the issue. We push through exhaustion, ignore warning signs, and then wonder why we have crashed. But what if we could learn to take our hands off the accelerator voluntarily? The frustration of waiting—especially after periods of struggle—tests our patience and faith. "Is it not my time? Am I forgotten?" These questions surface when progress seems elusive, yet trusting the process becomes essential, even when we cannot see where it leads.During these pauses, boundaries become crucial. We must learn to support others without absorbing their burdens, connect with those who elevate rather than drain us, and create environments where authentic feelings can be expressed without judgement. True faith is not believing everything will always be perfect—it is understanding that cycles of rising and falling are part of life's grand design.What does pause mean to you? I would love to hear your stories and reflections in the comments. How have life's unexpected stops ultimately moved you forward? Share your experience and join our community conversation about the counterintuitive power of slowing down in a world obsessed with constant motion.Thank you for listening💫 Join My Mission & Unlock PerksEmpowerment Diaries® is more than a podcast; it's a growing community dedicated to real stories of transformation.

    Faith, Failure, and Finding Your Path: Rewriting Our Understanding of Life's Setbacks

    Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragement What if we've been looking at failure all wrong? Remember watching a baby learn to walk – we never call their stumbles and falls "failures." Yet somewhere along our journey, we develop this crippling fear that prevents us from trying, growing, and evolving.This episode invites you to completely rewrite your understanding of failure. I explore how faith – not necessarily religious, but a deeper understanding that everything is part of life's bigger picture – helps us navigate both triumphs and setbacks with equal grace. Sometimes our greatest "failures" are actually redirection, preparation, or simply proof that we were brave enough to try something ambitious.Drawing from personal experiences, including relationships that didn't work out but still brought unexpected blessings like property ownership and mindset shifts, I challenge the notion that failure is the opposite of success. Perhaps it's actually an essential component of success – the necessary soil work before growth becomes visible. The confidence to allow things to develop beneath the surface, without explanation or apology, represents a profound form of wisdom many of us only discover later in life.What are you currently "failing" at? What might life be telling you through this experience? Which doors are closing, and more importantly, which new ones are opening? Share your greatest failure and what it ultimately taught you or made possible. Connect with me, Lita, goddess of growth, and let's transform our relationship with failure together.Discounts 20%+ off Adaptogenic Coffee!Enhance your day with London Nootropics' adaptogenic coffee.

    From Drought to Harvest: A Journey Through Midlife Crisis and Transformation

    Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragement Have you ever caught yourself postponing joy, believing some future moment will be better than the present? That's the powerful question at the heart of this raw, reflective episode where I open up about emerging from my Pluto square transit—what astrologers often call the midlife crisis period.Life rarely provides clean transitions. Even as I notice positive shifts after years of financial drought and professional uncertainty, I've discovered there's a crucial cleanup phase that follows major life transitions. This realization prompted me to examine how often we "borrow from the future," sacrificing today's contentment for tomorrow's promised rewards.My recent journey includes stepping away from social media platforms that restricted authentic expression, leaving my role as a TikTok Creator Network Manager, and recommitting to my coaching business, Sovereign. But perhaps more significantly, I'm confronting deeper truths about aging (approaching 51), ungrieved losses, and the survival mentality that's shaped my entire life. I share candid thoughts about the importance of consolidation after difficult periods—giving ourselves and others time to heal and integrate experiences before moving forward.The conversation weaves through practical financial insights from my childhood in a single-parent household to philosophical questions about faith, purpose, and how astrology provides a framework for understanding life's seasons without predicting outcomes. Though I'm still working through challenges, there's a tentative hope emerging as I shift focus from mere survival to possibilities for thriving.If you're navigating your own life transitions or questioning the "it gets better" narrative, this episode offers companionship in that journey. I'd love to hear where you're listening from and have you join this growing community of seekers.

What sets this community apart is its emphasis on seasonality and timing—acknowledging that each creator's journey unfolds according to its own timeline, eliminating the comparison that often poisons creative communities.For those who have been creating, coaching, or crafting their message while feeling like they're working in a vacuum, Sovren Spotlight offers the connection and visibility you've been seeking.

    Life's Seasons: Navigating Drought and Harvest

    Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragementHave you ever found yourself desperately trying to extract results during a season that simply wasn't ready to yield? Join me as I explore the profound wisdom of recognising when we're attempting to harvest during a drought.Throughout my recent transformative journey—what astrologers would call a Pluto square Pluto transit—I have faced the exhausting reality of pushing against universal timing. Like a gardener who plants seeds with specific expectations only to witness completely different blooms emerge, I have learned that life contains many dormant potentials we didn't consciously place there.This episode delves into the metaphor of life's seasons and how external pressures often fail to acknowledge the bigger spiritual picture unfolding. I share candidly about how financial limitations forced me to confront deeper questions about purpose, identity, and what constitutes a meaningful life after decades of "making do."For those standing in similar liminal spaces—having left difficult periods but not fully stepped into new chapters—this conversation offers gentle wisdom about surrendering to uncertainty while remaining open to aligned possibilities. Rather than fighting against your current season, I invite you to recognise its purpose and embrace the natural cycles that ultimately serve your highest good.What season are you in right now?

    Invisible Progress

    Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragementHave you ever felt your life completely collapsing around you, despite your best efforts to prevent it? That's exactly where I found myself at age 50 – facing a financial drought so severe I couldn't pay for my Wi-Fi, watching my marriage end, and struggling to maintain the home I'd worked so hard to secure.This raw, intimate episode explores my journey through what felt like a complete breakdown but was actually a profound rebirth. I share how astrological transits coincided with the dismantling of everything I thought defined me: my financial security, relationships, and sense of self-worth. Despite family members telling me to "get a real job" instead of pursuing coaching, I felt compelled to keep showing up online, planting seeds I couldn't yet see growing.The most powerful revelation came when I realised I couldn't outrun or rush the seasons of my life. No matter how hard I worked, I was in a necessary season of transformation. What emerged from this dark period—a podcast, a creator network called "Sovereign," and a deeper spiritual understanding—were seeds planted during years of drought that are only now beginning to sprout.Perhaps our life stories are pre-written, not by some external force, but by our own souls before we incarnate. If that's true, then everything I've experienced, even the most painful moments, was destined and chosen for my evolution. This perspective has helped me find meaning in suffering and trust in my journey.Listen to this episode if you're going through your own dark season and need reassurance that your invisible progress matters.

    A Drought That Shaped Me: Finding Sovereignty in Life's Darkest Seasons

    Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragementThe turning point came when I couldn't pay my Wi-Fi bill. After decades of responsible financial management, I found myself at 50, alone in a three-bedroom cottage, watching my resources completely disappear despite my best efforts.My journey through what astrologers call a "Pluto square Sun" transit stripped away everything I thought defined me—financial security, partnership, even my pride. Family urged me to "get a real job," yet something within kept pushing me forward, planting seeds in seemingly barren ground.The paradox was that while I knew intellectually what this astrological transit might bring, I fought it every step of the way. I decorated for lodgers who never came and promoted services that attracted few clients. What I didn't realise was that no amount of effort would accelerate me through this necessary season of transformation.Only now, emerging on the other side, can I see how those difficult years prepared me for new growth. From the depths of that struggle came my podcast and a creator network aptly named "Sovereign." The seeds planted in darkness are finally sprouting, not because I forced them, but because the season has naturally shifted.This episode explores the delicate balance between fate and free will, and the power of honouring rather than resisting life's seasons. As my grandmother wisely said, "We have come from far."Whether you're navigating your own difficult season or witnessing someone else's struggle, this raw conversation offers perspective on finding sovereignty through surrender.Thank you for listening💫 Join My Mission & Unlock PerksEmpowerment Diaries® is more than a podcast; it's a growing community dedicated to real stories of transformation.

    Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragementWould you prefer a podcast that answers your questions about personal growth, rather than just talking at you?This episode is an open forum, transforming passive listening into an active community. We revisit Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), going deeper to reveal a profound insight: the tapping works even if you don't believe the affirmations at first. With practice, your mind learns to process emotions so efficiently that the physical tapping may no longer be needed.We also explore the divine feminine energy in self-care, framing it as a sustainable practice of intuitive connection and creative expression, not just another chore. I share why periods of 'downtime' are not failures, but essential seasons of growth—much like a plant resting beneath the soil before it blossoms. This is your permission to honour your natural cycles without judgement.💫 Join My Mission & Unlock PerksEmpowerment Diaries® is more than a podcast; it's a growing community dedicated to real stories of transformation.
