As you are shifting, you will begin to realise that you are not the same person you used to be. The things you used to tolerate have become intolerable. When you once remained quiet, you are now speaking your truth. Where you once battled and argued, you are now choosing to remain silent.
You are beginning to understand
the value of your voice and there are some situations that no longer deserve your time, energy and focus.
Alexandra of Soul Intimacy in Sydney shared this beautiful, powerful poem with the women attending her recent My Voice My Body My Pleasure course.
Alexandra pre-empted listening to the poem with this question:
‘Have you ever been told you are “TOO … (insert the word)?”‘
It was incredibly easy for all the women to list in the chat box at least 2-3 comments either spoken at us, or about us, or even by us, about someone else or about ourselves:

Susan once created a business she thought was a lifestyle business. Over the next five years she constantly had to reset her vision as that business grew beyond what she anticipated. Bringing her professional corporate experience to the table, having worked for 16 years in a Sydney law firm serving elite Eastern Sydney clientele, Susan quickly shifted gears, aspiring to become a better leader, CEO, Company Director and partner to her clients. Susan approaches work, how she engages with clients, her podcast guests and blog writing consciously choosing to show up authentically, truthfully and with vulnerability to model and inspire change and empowerment. This blog includes transcripts from podcast interviews and interesting stories, some exercises and worksheets, all with gems of wisdom and key takeaways for you to benefit from. Enjoy!
