Ep 105 - The Chorus of the Heart Needs to Sing

This week is all about bringing out your authentic self. As the daughter of Asian immigrants, I grew up in an oppressive environment where I was not permitted to be my true self. It wasn’t safe for me to be Me. I was too much. Too loud. Too rowdy. Not very lady-like. So I tucked away that part of myself, that heart song of myself. After years of deep healing work, I’ve shed layers of the conditioning that has prevented me from shining my light at its fullest.

What if we understood that our light was meant to shine brightly? What if we thought that those who are calling us “too much” only need a little time to adjust their eyes. Like when you flick on a light in a dark room: you squint a bit at first, give your eyes time to adjust and you get to see the whole beautiful room basking in radiance. THAT is what we do when we are BEing our authentic selves!

We are not here to work towards earning anything from other people whether that’s approval or love or gifts, whatever. We are here to be who we are at our essence and to share the gift of us with others.

I invite you to listen along to this episode and take some time to tune in to your beingness. Step into self trust. And sing that chorus of the heart.
