The death of the persona. The rise of the icon

Hellloooo my beautiful friendsss,

Have you ever started to write a post then talked yourself out of it?

Not because you don't have anything to say….but because you realize the old voice you spoke from, somehow doesn't fit..

the old story you would tell…doesnt feel alive any more..

the way you're engaging with your work…feels…mundane (and you're anything but mundane)

Steep this …

There's a moment in every creator's evolution where being visible feels… complicated.

You've outgrown the persona.

You've shifted your values.

Your capacity, your clarity, your creativity has changed.

But your content, your brand, your voice is

still shaped by an older self.

It's subtle. But suffocating.

And it makes you question:

→ Do I burn it all down?

→ Do I “rebrand”?

→ Or do I disappear until I figure it out?

This is the portal between who you've been and who you're becoming.

Not everyone will come with you.

But the right people can only recognize you once you show up correctly.

If you're here, you've probably already felt this shift.

The desire to create something new… but no longer from urgency.

The discomfort of being visible, but not recognized.

The quiet knowing that what once worked, no longer feels alive.

Personally, everything I wanted came true: i got married, made the money, traveled to countries on my vision board, invested in a lot of shadow work, deconditioning support and therapy, grew my in person community, added in new modalities, etc.

...I was no longer the woman working toward the vision,

I was living it. And it's taken me the last two years to fully land in that identity

and dream up something new.

the transformation has been cell-deep, timeline-altering, and irreversible.

I simply couldn't show up with the same content, the same offers, the same vibe….

I evolved and my business begged to evolve with me.

…maybe you've scaled your business, moved countries, fell in or out of love, had a child, integrated a new modality, burnt out, experienced loss— there is NO way all of that evolution hasn't re-shaped your work.

The real tea …

If you keep showing up as the old version of you, your business will keep attracting the people, problems, and patterns meant for her—not you.

Your income ceiling?

Your creative plateau?

Your evolution is the best thing that could happen to your business, especially if you yourself are selling transformation of some kind 

What supported me in letting my most emergent self be seen, recognized, and paid all over again:

1. I communed with my muses 

I sat with the soul of my business, the soul of my client collective, the soul of my offers, the soul of my social media and most importantly, with myself as one of the muses. Before creating any launch plan or strategy, I listened to what each part of my ecosystem needed to become. I allowed my UNSEEN world to inform my SEEN strategies.

2. I actively decondition the parts of myself that want to perform from shadow or not-self.

→ Speaking when I have nothing real to say (undefined throat)

→ Trying to niche or define myself too tightly just to feel accepted (open G center)

→ trying to keep up with anyone's pace but my own (undefined sacral)

→ along with other personal shadows

3. Getting clear on my astrology helped me see my natural gifts, patterns, and life themes—so I could show up more me and communicate my uniqueness with ease.

Instead of trying to define myself through trends or external strategies, I leaned into what was already there. Just a small teeny example: I'm a Libra Midheaven in the 11th, with a Taurus Sun, Mercury, and South Node in the 5th. The traits I once compartmentalized as “this is just who i am outside of work”  is now central to my brand—because it's true. I don't need a brand identity AND a real identity. I'm letting ME and all my venusian values and gifts be seen, in service to my work. not separate. 

That kind of allowing makes content easier—more sustainable—because you're no longer reinventing the wheel just to stay relevant.

(don't even get me started on my cap rising discovery hahaha)

4. I created custom hypnotic tracks to get my mind and body on board. Because when your body can't hold the light, it will sabotage the expansion. Instead of spiraling in moments of doubt or unclarity, I anchored into new narratives—ones that helped me regulate, receive, and hold my next level. Even when I couldn't see the full vision, I let the unconscious work prep the soil for what was coming.

All of these pieces—your voice, your vision, your evolution—are held inside my 1:1 work.

Whether we start with a single breakthrough session, an 8-week journey, or a longer-term container to fully rebirth your brand in real time…

The throughline is this:

I help you understand yourself and your business more clearly,

so you can leap into your Most Abundant Timeline™ with

Visibility, Artistry, and Wealth at the forefront.

Song: Beso (Fruta Fresca)- Wakyin, Carlos Vives

Show: UGH watched the last episode of Succession, last night. WOW. an excellent show from start to finish. THE ENDING???? omg. def give it a watch.

Sips: early gray over ice, with a teeny drip of sweetened condensed milk

Shopping: ok i ordered some red track pants…HEAR ME OUT. i like that i can wear them casually, travel with them, wear in all temperatures and dress up or down. Should i post an OOTD when they arrive?

Snap: We threw a surprise party for one of our closest friends. He literally fell to the ground in shock. it was sooo sweet. he had no idea. and we showered in him in alllll of the love. I made a charcuterie board the width of my kitchen island. Dare I say it was the best one I've ever made lolll.

summer has been in full swing. From tubing on the river, to bestie slumber parties, in depth studying (although thats year round lol), dinners in the backyard and new visions starting to show some bloom….

I've also been loving facilitating MUSE. It's been emerging and unfolding in gentle yet profound ways. I'm thinking we may run another round….who would be intersted?
